NFL Week 1 Tips

Friday 6/9/24

10:20am Baltimore Ravens vs Kansas City Chiefs @ GEHA Field

The Chiefs are the Super Bowl champions, but we think the Ravens will prove tough to handle in the opening game.

Lamar Jackson comes off an MVP year, and although betting confidence isn’t there with the Ravens, we’re backing them to win.

Getting $2.27 for a team that we think wins the Super Bowl is too good to pass up.

Betting tip: Ravens @ $2.27

Saturday 7/9/24

10:15am Green Bay Packers vs Philadelphia Eagles @ Corinthians Arena

This game is played in Brazil, but it shouldn’t have too much of an effect on the outcome.

We’re backing the Eagles to have a big year, and they should start their 2024 campaign with a win over the Packers.

Both teams have upside, but the Eagles usually get their year off to a fast start, so take the –3 line.

Betting tip: Eagles -3 @ $1.90

Eagles by 7

Monday 9/9/24

3:00am Pittsburgh Steelers vs Atlanta Falcons @ Mercedes-Benz Stadium

There is positivity coming out of the Falcons camp with Kirk Cousins taking over at the quarterback position.

We think that’s enough to see them compete in their division, and under the dome, we’re backing them to beat the Steelers.

Atlanta is the favourite to win, and rightfully so.

Betting tip: Falcons –2.5 @ $1.81

3:00am Arizona Cardinals vs Buffalo Bills @ Highmark Stadium

It should be a long year for the Cardinals, despite being only +5.5 underdogs against the Buffalo Bills.

With Josh Allen at quarterback, we expect the Bills to come out firing on Monday, and we would have been happy to take a much higher line.

Back the Bills –5.5 with confidence in their season opener.

Betting tip: Bills –5.5 @ $1.90

Bills by 7

3:00am Tennessee Titans vs Chicago Bears @ Solder Field

Boasting number one NFL draft pick Caleb Williams, the Bears could make a good start to their season.

We’re not fully sold on Williams, but there is plenty of hype around the college star, and the Bears are in need of something positive.

We don’t see many positives for the Titans, who could struggle to impress in 2024.

Betting tip: Bears –3.5 @ $1.90

Bears by 10

3:00am New England Patriots vs Cincinnati Bengals @ Paycor Stadium

It’s going to be a long season for the Patriots, who are tipped to finish with the least number of wins.

Expectations are high for the Bengals, and in particular Joe Burrow, who could win Comeback Player of the Year.

A fast start is expected for the home team, so we’re backing the Bengals to run up a big score and cover the –8.5 line.

Betting tip: Bengals –8.5 @ $1.90

Bengals by 14

3:00am Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts @ Lucas Oil Stadium

The Texans should be in for another impressive year, and we don’t have high expectations for the Colts.

Most of the early money has come for the Texans, who are the $1.68 favourites, and although they’re playing on the road, it’s a fair price.

Their offence should be too much for the rebuilding Colts to handle.

Betting tip: Texans –2.5 @ $1.90

Texans by 7

3:00am Jacksonville Jaguars vs Miami Dolphins @ Hard Rock Stadium

We fancy the Jaguars and Dolphin having successful years, but we’re happy to take the odds with the Jaguars.

They should be starting to show their best now after a few rebuilding years, and the Dolphins could take a few games to get going.

Getting $2.40 for a team like the Jags is too good to pass up.

Betting tip: Jaguars @ $2.40

Jaguars by 3

3:00am Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints @ Caesars Superdome

We predict the Panthers to be one of the worst NFL teams in 2024, so we’re naturally backing the Saints to win and cover.

With both teams expected to miss the playoffs, it’s not our most confident bet, but there is more upside with the Saints.

We’re happy to include the –4.5 line in our NFL picks.

Betting tip: Saints –4.5 @ $1.97

Saints by 7

3:00am Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants @ MetLife Stadium

There isn’t much between the Vikings and Giants in betting markets, but the Vikings have a better team on paper.

Despite Sam Darnold playing at quarterback, they have Justin Jefferson, and he could make the difference for this team.

New York is likely to struggle, especially with Saquon Barkley leaving.

Betting tip: Vikings –1.5 @ $1.90

Vikings by 7

6:05am Las Vegas Raiders vs Los Angeles Chargers @ SoFi Stadium

Another tight game is predicted for the Raiders vs Chargers, and we’re backing the Chargers at –3.5.

Winning by more than a field goal could prove tricky, but they’re playing at home, and Justin Herbert could have a big game at quarterback.

They just need to start well to cover the number.

Betting tip: Chargers –3.5 @ $1.90

Chargers by 6

6:05am Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks @ Lumen Field

Beating Seattle at Lumen Field isn’t easy, and we can’t see the Broncos providing much of a threat on Monday morning.

The hype around the Seahawks isn’t there anymore, but we think they’ll exceed expectations, so we’re happy to include them in our NFL picks.

Playing at home adds a few points, so that’s in their favour.

Betting tip: Seahawks –6.5 @ $1.90

Seahawks by 10

6:25am Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns @ Cleveland Browns Stadium

Getting $2.18 for a team like the Cowboys is generous, and they’re Super Bowl contenders.

There is a lot of hype around the Browns, which is fair, but the Cowboys are offensive machines, and they could put up a big score.

Take the $2.18 before money comes for them on game day.

Betting tip: Cowboys @ $2.18

Cowboys by 7

6:25am Washington Commanders vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Raymond James Stadium

This won’t be the most-watched game of the week, and we don’t have a strong angle on either team.

However, betting on the Commanders is usually a sure-fire way to lose money, so include the Buccaneers in your NFL multis.

They are paying $1.58 to win outright.

Betting tip: Buccaneers @ $1.58

Buccaneers by 3

10:20am Los Angeles Rams vs Detroit Lions @ Ford Field

Punters should be confident with the Lions, who were a surprise package in 2023.

Led by Jared Goff and a good defence, they should prove tough to beat against the Rams, who are always tough to predict.

Given home field advantage, take the Lions to win and cover the spread.

Betting tip: Lions –3.5 @ $1.90

Lions by 7

Tuesday 10/9/24

10:20am New York Jets vs San Francisco 49ers @ Levi’s Stadium

Aaron Rodgers returns for the Jets after lasting 90 seconds last year, but we don’t think the Jets will win for him.

The 49ers come off a loss in the Super Bowl, and with Christian McCaffrey looking stellar at running back, he could run all over the Jets.

Market confidence is with the 49ers, and we’re happy to back them at the price.

Betting tip: 49ers –3.5 @ $1.90

49ers by 10
