Week 1 Betting Analysis

The 2022 NFL regular season kicked off Thursday with the defending champion LA Rams being criticized by the preseason Super Bowl favorite Bills.

Buffalo Bills (-2) bei LA Rams (+2)

The Bills showed off their strong offense on Thursday and easily covered the -2 line. Buffalo outshot the Rams 31-10 while the underdogs totaled 51.5.

The first full football Sunday of the season takes place on September 11. The highlight will be a rematch of last year's NFL season opener, pitting the Buccaneers against the Cowboys. In the first window, Baker Mayfield meets his former team, the Browns, and there's a key AFC East clash that sees the Patriots battle the Dolphins in Miami.

Cleveland Browns () ein Carolina Panthers ()

The Browns are likely to line up against the Panthers with Jacoby Brissett under center, as Deshaun Watson will be suspended for the first 11 games of the season. Cleveland had been favored in most books until Watson's decision. Meanwhile, the Panthers are a close favorite in most sportsbooks.

Mayfield will have revenge on his mind as he tries to revive his career in Carolina.

Baltimore Ravens () to the New York Jets ()

Last year's Ravens team looked doomed after suffering major back injuries before the season started. Runner J.K. Dobbins should be ready for action in Week 1 against the Jets, and Lamar Jackson is getting his share of MVP buzz.

Coach Robert Saleh faces a critical second season as the Jets coach. He has to try to win Week 1 with Joe Flacco in the middle.

New England Patriots () at the Miami Dolphins ()

It's always difficult to predict how a team will react to a first-time coach. New Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has the luxury of coaching a very talented group, most notably WR Tyreek Hill, but whether McDaniel is the right fit as South Beach's coach remains to be seen.

To McDaniels' benefit, Miami is Kryptonian compared to Bill Belichick in the past whenever the Patriots have played at Hard Rock Stadium. Belichick's Patriots have won just once in their last five attempts in Miami.

Philadelphia Eagles () at the Detroit Lions ()

The Lions were far from a pushover last season as they were competitive in most games, outscoring the team 11-6. Jared Goff will also get help on offense as the Lions signed WR DJ Chark in the offseason.

The Eagles also filled an obvious need last spring, signing elite forward Haason Reddick to a three-year, $45 million deal. This was in addition to the trades they made for WR A.J. He made. Brown and CB Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.

Jacksonville Jaguars () at the Washington Commanders ()

Doug Pederson has done wonders in Philly for Nick Foles and once had Carson Wentz in his MVP speech. Pederson will now look to turn former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence into an elite quarterback. NFL planners aren't stupid, and there's a little spice to this otherwise mundane matchup as Pederson takes on Wentz.

Washington's defense has to deal with a surprisingly strong offense from the Jags. Jacksonville added WR Christian Kirk, WR Zay Jones and Pro Bowl G Brandon Scherff. They also bring back 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne from injury.

Indianapolis Colts () and Houston Texans ()

The Colts are less than 130 points from winning the AFC South this season despite collapsing late last season. Indianapolis general manager Chris Ballard acted with conviction when he traded Carson Wentz for Matt Ryan. Ryan's MVP years are likely behind him at 37, but a steady, experienced arm under center will help the Colts rest. Indy entered the playoffs with an 11-5 record last season, centered around the old Philip Rivers. There's no reason to believe Ryan can't lead the Colts to double-digit wins again.

Ryan's first Test as a Colt is against the Texans. Houston is about a +8 underdog in most books. New Texans coach Love Smith hasn't led the league since 2015 with the Buccaneers, a stretch in which he went just 8-24 over two seasons. The Texans' defense should improve, with No. 3 overall pick Derek Stingley Jr. leading the charge.

San Francisco 49ers () via the Chicago Bears ()

Kyle Shanahan will get a shot in 2022 by promoting Trey Lance to be the 49ers' starting QB. Lance has already brought a different feel to San Francisco's offense in training camp, as the team is taking a lot more shots down the field, something it hasn't been often with Jimmy Garoppolo in the middle. Lance faces a Bears team in Week 1 that allowed the third fewest passing yards per game in the NFL last season.

The Bears will also get a new look this season with former Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus taking over as head coach. Bears quarterback Justin Fields will improve after an often difficult rookie season. Fields will be coached by former Packers linebackers coach Luke Getsy. Getsy, 38, is playing in the NFL for the first time.

Update Sunday 9/11: George Kittle of the 49ers is out with a groin injury, but the 49ers remain heavy favorites against perhaps the least talented team in the league.

Pittsburgh Steelers () and Cincinnati Bengals ()

The AFC North once again looks to be one of the most competitive divisions in all of football. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati kick off at 1 p.m. on the first Sunday of the season, with a -6.5 favorite at home to the Bengals. The total is 44 points, with the Steelers starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky won the starting job ahead of freshman Kenny Pickett.

The Bengals certainly know who their franchise QB is for the foreseeable future as Joe Burrow amazingly led the team to a Super Bowl berth last season. However, Barrow had his appendix removed in late July and missed much of preseason. The Bengals' main concern in recent years has been keeping Burrow on his feet. Cincy's front office invested in the team's offensive line last spring, adding La'el Collins, Ted Karras and Alex Cappa.

New Orleans Saints () at the Atlanta Falcons ()

The Falcons are entering a new era after trading Matt Ryan to the Colts this offseason. Veteran shortstop Marcus Mariota is slated to serve as a placeholder for rookie third-round pick Desmond Reeder. Despite the demotion of center, Atlanta is optimistic about how first-round receiver Drake London can work with Kyle Pitts and running back Cordarrelle Patterson.

The Saints also open a new chapter in their franchise history with Dennis Allen taking over as head coach from Sean Payton. Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael will now be the primary voice for quarterback Jameis Winston, who hopes to continue last year's encouraging eight-game hitting streak as New Orleans' starting quarterback. The return of Michael Thomas (ankle) and first-round pick Chris Olave will help Winston.

It's no surprise that the Saints are considered away favorites at this ground after each team recorded a win on the other's home turf last season.

New York Giants () via the Tennessee Titans ()

Big Blue starts back at the helm with Brian Daboll, most recently known for leading the Bills' dynamic offense. In theory, the offensive guru's signing should be a boon to the development of Daniel Jones, who will play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2022. Even a supposedly fully healthy Saquon Barkley should improve his chances. New York. , as will first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux, who he'll count on to fuel a rush that totaled 34 sacks a year ago.

Tennessee is looking to bounce back from a hugely disappointing postseason last January, in which the Titans earned AFC No. The offseason was an especially big turning point for Mike Vrabel's team as A.J. Brown was traded to the Eagles and Trayvon Burks was selected in the first round as his backup. Derrick Henry is back to health after a foot injury that limited him to eight regular-season games in 2021. Veteran Ryan Tannehill will once again lead the offense, but newcomer Malik Willis is already on the team to replace him . below the waist.

Tennessee's initial spot as the favorite to finish wasn't a surprise given that the Giants went 3-6 ATS last season. The spread was Titans -5.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook the day after Tennessee star linebacker Harold Landry suffered a torn cruciate ligament in practice.

Green Bay Packers () and Minnesota Vikings ()

Another team poised to break new ground in the Week 1 contest is the Packers, who traded star receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders this offseason, leaving future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers with a somewhat makeshift group of receivers to work with to open the season. Other key offensive players, such as the backfield tandem of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon remains, as does a defense that ranked No. 8 with 321.7 total yards per game.

The Vikings feel like they're starting over as former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell takes over from Mike Zimmer, who was fired after eight seasons as head coach. Otherwise, Minnesota has its critical core on offense and is poised to adopt the teachings of O'Connell and his staff as the Super Bowl winner and eventual coach looks to maximize his new team's impressive arsenal of talent at quarterback , turning back. and especially the recipient.

The two teams split the 2021 season, with the Vikings winning at home, and with some key changes for both teams this season, the team is currently a slight favorite in a game with a line that could change a bit closer to the start. .

Kansas City Chiefs () via the Arizona Cardinals ()

Both teams will go into this game without some of last season's crucial receiver firepower, but for distinctly different reasons. The Chiefs made perhaps the most surprising trade of a busy offseason when they sent Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins and the multi-million dollar question of whether their effort to replace their production with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster will succeed. begins to be answered with this week 1 matchup.

On the other hand, the Cardinals will lose DeAndre Hopkins when his six-game PED suspension begins earlier in the season. Arizona acquired a nice backup in Marquise Brown via a trade from the Ravens just before Day 1 of April's draft, and he can be counted on to immediately show renewed chemistry with former college teammate Kyler. Murray, who got his long-awaited rookie contract extension this offseason.

While this game may not have the luster that Hill and Hopkins would otherwise have been involved in, it should be one of the key matchups of the season opener. The Chiefs, who went 4-4 ATS as road favorites last season, currently have a projected lead of about a field while their projected total of 52.5 to 53.5 points is unsurprisingly one of the highest in Week 1. .

Las Vegas Raiders () at LA Chargers ()

The Raiders enter the season with a lot to look forward to after the aforementioned Adams trade, which they naturally believe could be the deciding factor that could propel them to the forefront of their plans for a damn good AFC West and overall conference. The rest of the key pieces from last year's playoff team, including Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller, also return, and Las Vegas will undoubtedly be instrumental in setting the right tone early against a division opponent. who has accomplished just as much, according to the press, as this offseason.

The Bolts are considered one of the favorites to leave the AFC if the Bills fail, considering the work Justin Herbert has done in his first two seasons and the fact that he brings back players like Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen. and Mike Williams as key players at the skill position. Meanwhile, the defense has seen a huge influx of talent, led by players like cornerback J.C. Jackson and linebackers Khalil Mack and Kyle Van Noy.

The Raiders won these clubs' Week 18 clash in overtime last January, but understandably enter the season opener as more than a one-goal underdog.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers () bei den Dallas Cowboys ()

As the regular season begins, a potential storm is building in Tampa Bay that will be greater than usual summer afternoon flooding in Florida. Tom Brady is leaving the team for personal reasons as the second preseason game approaches, and coach Todd Bowles' recent statement about a possible return date is decidedly vague. If Brady is out of the team during the Buccaneers' final preseason, his availability is in question, at least for Week 1. If things get back to normal and he does take center stage in that rematch of last year's TNF opener, Brady will likely be working with a wide-open corps that likely won't feature Chris Godwin (knee) but rather Mike Evans and newcomer Russell Gage leads the way.

The Cowboys are always full of anticipation and this year is certainly no different. A potentially pivotal season lies ahead for coach Mike McCarthy and will begin with a revamped receiving corps that will be significantly underperforming as the season begins. Michael Gallup is expected to be sidelined as he is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL last January, while rookie free agent James Washington will miss the first games of the season with a broken leg in camp.

This line will definitely be one to watch as kickoff nears, but for now the bettors seem to be locking in a projected slim margin of 1.5 points for Tampa Bay pending further developments from Brady.

The first Monday night contest of the season is a great one when new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson takes on his old team, the Seahawks, in Seattle.

Denver Broncos () and Seattle Seahawks ()

It won't be a good day for Geno Smith in his first start as QB for the Seahawks, as he faces a Broncos defense that allowed the third-fewest points in the league (18.9) last year. The main story in this case is of course Wilson, who knows better than anyone how to win at Lumen Field and win big. Wilson will have plenty of targets available, including Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler. Javonte Williams is also coming off a monster season in his second year.

Denver opened as a -4 favorite, and that line now sits most places with the Broncos at -6.5.
