NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 1

Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears Odds

• Opening point spread: Bears -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Bears -115/Vikings -105
• Opening total: Over/Under 45 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, Sept. 8 (ABC/ESPN)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Vikings vs. Bears prediction.

GAME DAY LATE UPDATE: With 65 minutes until kickoff, the Bears are -1 (-105) in BetMG's NFL Week 1 odds. That's a flip from this morning, when the Vikings were -1.5.

In digital action (mobile/online) at BetMGM, it's two-way spread play, with tickets almost dead even and 58% of money on host Chicago. On the moneyline, there's more of a Bears lean, at 64% of bets/68% of money.

"It's looking like we'll be rooting for the Vikings tonight. And of course, a nice low-scoring game after last night's outcome," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollin said, alluding to the 81-total-points shootout between the Ravens and Bills.

The Vikes-Bears total opened at 44.5 and is now 43.5, with 53% of bets/64% of money on the Over at BetMGM. And almost certainly, the Over is in a lot of parlays.

GAME DAY EARLY UPDATE: ESPNBET opened Vikings-Bears as a pick 'em in NFL odds Week 1, and Minnesota is now 1.5-point road chalk. Spread ticket count is running dead even, but interestingly, 65% of money is on Chicago.

In a coin-toss game, moneyline action is almost perfectly split, in tickets and money.

The total is down to 43.5 (Under -115), though 62% of tickets/66% of cash is on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: This line jumped the fence a month ago at DraftKings Sportsbook, going from Bears -1.5 (-105) to Vikings -1.5 flat. Minnesota briefly touched -2.5 (-105) in mid-August and is now -1.5 again.

Line flip aside, it's two-way action with a lean toward Chicago, at 52% of tickets/56% of money for the Monday night game.

The total opened at 45.5 (Under -115) and got as low as 42.5 (Over -118) multiple times in late August. It's since rebounded to 44.5 (Under -115) a couple times and is now 43.5 (Over -115). Ticket count is literally dead even, and 68% of money is on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Minnesota (14-4 SU/11-6-1 ATS) had a surprisingly strong 2024-25 season, contending with Detroit for the NFC's No. 1 seed throughout. The Vikes settled for a Wild Card bid and saw their season end with a 27-9 neutral-site loss as 2.5-point favorites vs. the L.A. Rams.

That ended a surprisingly successful one-year stint for QB Sam Darnold in Minnesota. The Vikings are moving on to J.J. McCarthy, the former Michigan standout who missed last year's rookie season due to a knee injury.

Chicago (5-12 SU/9-7-1 ATS) had another dismal season, firing coach Matt Eberflus the day after Thanksgiving. But there's optimism with new coach Ben Johnson, who left his post as Lions offensive coordinator to take the reins in Chicago.

This line jumped the fence early on at The SuperBook. The Bears opened -1.5 on May 14, and the number went to pick on June 4. Since Aug. 5, the spread has toggled between Vikings -1/-1.5 a couple times, and it's now Minnesota -1, on the evening of Aug. 24.

"We opened the Bears as a favorite and took a sharp bet on the Vikes +1.5," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "Since then, the Vikings have moved to a favorite and are taking more bets and money.

"As of now, we're rooting for the Bears. But I would not be surprised if we start to see more Bears money as we get closer to kickoff."

The total is down to 43 from a 45 opener.

"This game is all Under money so far," Degnon said..

Completed Games for NFL Week 1

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -120/Ravens even
• Opening total: Over/Under 53.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (NBC)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Bills vs. Ravens prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: At 7 p.m. ET, BetMGM has Baltimore -1.5 in NFL Week 1 odds. This line jumped the fence over the past few days, from Bills -1 to Ravens -1, then the current Ravens -1.5.

"This will be the most-bet game of the day, for sure," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "Bills money is coming back a bit, but it's looking like we'll be rooting for a low-scoring Bills win."

The total opened at 51.5 and is now 50.5. But the public is no doubt on the Over for a battle between Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and Bills QB Josh Allen.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Borgata Sports has hovered around pick throughout the summer. Buffalo opened -1.5, and as of Wednesday afternoon, it's Baltimore -1.

"It's a very evenly bet game, and that will probably remain the case. These are two of the premier teams in the AFC. Even with Buffalo having home field here, I don’t see us having a big decision in this game," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total inched from 51.5 to 51.

PRIOR UPDATE: DraftKings has spent the past three months bouncing between Bills -1.5 and -0.5, at various juice. Buffalo is now -1.5 (-102) on Monday night, six days out from this huge game.

Baltimore is netting 61% of early spread bets at DK, but early spread money is dead even for this Sunday night showdown. On the moneyline, it's 55% of bets/65% of dollars on the short 'dog Ravens.

DraftKings opened the total at 51.5, the highest of all matchups in the NFL odds Week 1 market. It peaked at 52.5 (Under -115) on Aug. 18, but it's now down to 50.5, reaching that point this morning. The Over is landing 60% of bets/77% of cash.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Buffalo (15-5 SU/12-8 ATS) reached the AFC Championship Game, but again found Kansas City to be its nemesis. The Bills were 1.5-point road underdogs and fell 32-29 on a Chiefs field goal with 3:33 remaining.

Baltimore (13-6 SU/11-7-1 ATS) gets a speedy rematch with the Bills, who ended the Ravens' 2024-25 season in the Divisional Round. Lamar Jackson & Co. were actually 1.5-point road favorites, but lost 27-25. The Ravens got a late TD to pull within 27-25, but the 2-point attempt failed.

As of Aug. 26, the Ravens-Bills line is actually moving toward Baltimore in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 1 market. Buffalo opened -1.5, and on July 9, the number dipped to -1. It stuck there until Aug. 18, when The SuperBook moved to pick 'em, where the line remains on Aug. 24.

"Ticket count is about even, but there's more money on the Ravens so far," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said of spread action. "I think the public will be split on this game. But I anticipate the bigger bets will continue to be on the Ravens, and we'll need the Bills."

The total opened at 53.5, spent most of the summer at 52.5 and went to 52 Aug. 20.

"More tickets and money on the Under, and we also took a respected bet on Under 53.5," Degnon said.

Tennessee Titans vs. Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening point spread: Broncos -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Broncos -380/Titans +320
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Titans vs. Broncos prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: Thirty minutes from kickoff, the Broncos are -8.5 at BetMGM. And Denver is a very popular play, taking 72% of tickets and a whopping 91% of money in digital straight bets (online/mobile).

"The Titans are one of our biggest needs of the day," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is at 42.5, up from a 41.5 opener. But it's two-way play, with 51% of bets on the Over/56% of cash on the Under.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: On Tuesday morning, BetMGM data showed this matchup seeing the most lopsided action of all games in NFL Week 1 odds. The Broncos are up to 8-point home favorites, from a -7 opener.

Denver is attracting 84% of early spread bets and a whopping 95% of early spread money.

The total opened at 41.5 and is now 42.5 on mixed action, with 53% of bets on the Over/67% of money on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Denver went 10-7 SU and a solid 12-5 ATS – second-best in the NFL – in the 2024-25 regular season. That earned the Broncos an AFC Wild Card bid, but they unfortunately got sent to Buffalo for that game. Denver got thumped 31-7 catching 7.5 points.

Tennessee tied for the league's worst SU record last season, at 3-14, and was the worst ATS team, at 2-15. The Titans finished with an 0-6 SU and ATS nosedive.

Tennessee quarterback Will Levis underwent offseason shoulder surgery and is currently on injured reserve. So rookie Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, is No. 1 on the Titans' depth chart.

Correspondingly, Denver is 7.5-point chalk in The SuperBook's Week 1 NFL odds. As of Aug. 24, this number hasn't moved since opening on May 14.

The SuperBook's total did move in the early going, from 43.5 to 42.5/42, but it's been stable at 42 since May 19.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks Odds

• Opening point spread: 49ers -1
• Opening moneyline: 49ers -125/Seahawks +105
• Opening total: Over/Under 46 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive 49ers vs. Seahawks prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: With kickoff approaching, the Niners are laying 1.5 points in BetMGM's NFL Week 1 odds. That matches the opening number, but spread play is solidly on San Fran, at 61% of bets/85% of money.

The total opened at 45.5 and is down to 43.5, with 57% of bets/58% of cash on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: San Francisco (6-11 SU/5-12 ATS) has been a perennial NFC and Super Bowl contender. But injuries killed the Niners last season. Most notably, stud running back Christian McCaffrey missed 13 games, and wideout Brandon Aiyuk tore an ACL in Week 7.

McCaffrey is now healthy, but Aiyuk is expected to miss the first five games, at least. Further, star wideout Deebo Samuel was traded to Washington in the offseason.

Seattle (10-7 SU/6-10-1 ATS) had a respectable 2024-25 campaign. The Seahawks actually tied the L.A. Rams atop the NFC West, but lost the tiebreaker and failed to make the playoffs.

Seattle will usher in a new quarterback this season. The Seahawks signed Sam Darnold, as Geno Smith moved on to the Raiders. Darnold is coming off his easily his best season, guiding Minnesota to a 14-3 SU/11-4-1 ATS mark and a Wild Card appearance.

San Francisco opened -1 and spent a chunk of the summer at -1.5 in The SuperBook's NFL odds for Week 1. On July 29, the 49ers went to -2/-2.5, and as of Aug. 24, there's been no further movement.

The total toggled between 46/45.5 a couple times early on, and it's been stable at 45 since June 19.

Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -1
• Opening moneyline: Packers -120/Lions even
• Opening total: Over/Under 49.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Packers vs. Lions prediction.

GAME DAY LATE UPDATE: Thirty minutes pre-kick, BetMGM has the Packers -1.5 in NFL Week 1 odds. Months ago, Detroit opened -1.5, but this line jumped the fence early, with Green Bay a short favorite much of the summer.

That said, in digital wagering (online/mobile) at BetMGM, spread tickets and money are 2/1 on the Lions. Further, Detroit is popular on the moneyline as a road underdog, with tickets 4/1 and money 2/1.

The total is down to 47.5 from a 49.5 opener, but tickets and dollars are in the 2/1 range on the Over.

"We'll want a low-scoring Packers win right now," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

GAME DAY EARLY UPDATE: With six hours until kickoff, the Packers are -1.5 (-105) at ESPNBET. As is the case at several sportsbooks, this line jumped the fence over the summer, after opening at Lions -1.5.

It's interesting point-spread play at ESPNBET, with 68% of tickets on Detroit/73% of money on Green Bay. The moneyline is more defined, with 70% of tickets and money on the Lions.

The total opened at 49.5 and is down to 47.5 (Over -120). Still, the Over is seeing 60% of tickets/72% of money.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: A major NFC North clash highlights Sunday's late window of kicks. This line jumped the fence at multiple sportsbooks, including Borgata Sports in Atlantic City. And Green Bay got more popular with last week's acquisition of Micah Parsons from Dallas.

"This was another game impacted by the Parsons trade," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "However, even before the trade, there was quite a bit of line movement with this game. Detroit actually opened -1.5, and the favorite flipped a few times through the summer.

"Prior to the Parsons trade, Green Bay was sitting as a 1.5-point favorite. We bumped the Packers to -2.5 after the trade was announced. This has been a relatively evenly bet game overall."

Borgata's total is down to 47.5 from a 49.5 opener.

PRIOR UPDATE: Green Bay made a huge trade splash Thursday evening, acquiring standout edge rusher Micah Parsons from Dallas. And oddsmakers responded in both the NFL odds Week 1 and Super Bowl odds markets.

Prior to the trade, DraftKings Sportsbook was at Packers -1.5 (-112). Afterward, DK moved straight to Green Bay -2.5 flat, then to -2.5 (-115), where the line remains Friday afternoon.

That said, it's heavy Detroit play on the spread with early bettors. The Lions are taking 79% of tickets/66% of money, and they're similarly popular on the moneyline, at 71% of tickets/75% of money.

The Packers landing a stud defender also impacted the Dallas-Green Bay total. DraftKings initially held firm at 48.5, with just a juice adjustment from Over -115 to the flat -110 price. But this morning, the number dipped 2 points, to 47.5 (Under -118), then 46.5 (Over -118).

The Over is netting 63% of bets/67% of dollars.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Last season, Detroit (15-3 SU/12-5-1 ATS) earned the NFC's No. 1 seed, a bye and home-field advantage. Then the Lions threw it away, getting trashed by Washington 55-23 as 8.5 point favorites in the Divisional Round.

Still, Detroit has been among the best teams in the league for 2.5 seasons now, particularly at the betting window. The Lions are 37-11 SU/35-12-1 ATS in their last 48 games.

Green Bay (11-6 SU/9-8 ATS) also had a solid 2024-25 campaign, earning an NFC Wild Card bid. But the Packers couldn't keep it going in the playoffs, losing at Philadelphia 22-10 as 5.5-point underdogs.

On May 14, The SuperBook opened Detroit -1 in 2025 NFL Week 1 odds. Within a couple days, the line moved to pick, then to Green Bay -1. The Packers advanced to -2 June 2 and -2.5 June 25, then returned to -2 July 29. As of this update on Aug. 24, there's been no further movement.

"Ticket count is 2/1 in favor of the Lions, but those are mostly smaller tickets. We have more money on the Packers and actually need the Lions right now," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "Another game where I think the action will be pretty split.

"There are some smaller bets on the Lions moneyline, but not enough money to really effect the decision."

The total hasn't budged off 49.5 all summer, despite what Degnon termed "one-way traffic on the Over."

Houston Texans vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -3
• Opening moneyline: Rams -155/Texans +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Rams vs. Texans prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: The Rams are -3 (-115) about an hour before kickoff in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 1 market. That's up a notch from the L.A. -2.5 opener. The Rams are getting 61% of spread tickets/87% of spread money.

BetMGM's total is down to 43.5 from a 45.5 opener on surprisingly heavy Under play: 77% of bets/80% of money on the Under.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: As of Thursday afternoon, the Rams are 3-point chalk in DraftKings' NFL Week 1 odds. That matches the May 23 opener, and L.A. had multiple stints at various iterations of -2.5 over the summer.

So far, it's two-way spread play with a lean toward Houston, at 56% of bets/54% of money.

The total is at 43.5, down 2 points from the 45.5 opener. The Over is seeing 63% of bets, while 74% of money is on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Los Angeles (11-8 SU and ATS) won the NFC West and nearly got to the NFC Championship Game. The Rams rolled over Minnesota 27-9 as 2.5-point neutral-site underdogs on Wild Card Weekend.

Then L.A. gave eventual Super Bowl champ Philadelphia all it could handle, but lost 28-22 getting 7 points on the road.

Similarly, Houston (11-7 SU/9-10 ATS) won the AFC South, got a Wild Card victory over the L.A. Chargers, then bowed out in the Divisional Round. The Texans were 9.5-point road 'dogs vs. Kansas City and lost 23-14.

Los Angeles opened as 3-point chalk in The SuperBook's odds for NFL Week 1. In mid-June, there was a juice adjustment to Rams -3 (even) and on Aug. 6, L.A. ticked down to -2.5. That's where the line remains as of Aug. 24.

The total opened at 46.5, went to 46 within a few days, then over the past three weeks dipped to 45/44.5/44.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Bengals -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Bengals -250/Browns +210
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: With kickoff 45 minutes until kickoff, this line remains on the move. Earlier this morning, Cincinnati was -5.5 (-105) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 1 market. Now, the Bengals are down to -4.5, on a line that opened -5.5 months ago.

Still, spread tickets are running 2/1 and spread money 3/1 on Cincy.

The total opened at 45.5 and is now 47.5 (Over -115), with 68% of tickets/60% of money on the Over.

LATEST UPDATE: For most of the past three-plus months, the Bengals have been -5.5 in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Week 1 odds. Cincy went to -6 on Aug. 24 and -6 (-115) a day later, then on Friday returned to -5.5.

That's where the line stands Monday night, six days ahead of kickoff. It's all Bengals early on the spread, at 76% of tickets/83% of money.

DK's total is up to 47.5 (Over -115) from a 44.5 opener. The Over is netting 64% of tickets/74% of dollars.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Cleveland (3-13 SU/5-12 ATS) is coming off a dismal campaign and isn't exactly stable at quarterback. Joe Flacco was named the Week 1 starter, in a locker room that includes Kenny Pickett and a pair of rookies: Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

Then there's Deshaun Watson, who tore his Achilles in action last October, then re-tore it January during rehab. He's currently on the physically unable to perform list.

The Browns finished last season on an 0-6 SU and ATS purge, with all six losses by nine points or more.

Cincinnati (9-8 SU/10-7 ATS) made a late playoff push last season, winning their final five games. But it was too little, too late, to reach the postseason.

That's two straight 9-8 campaigns, with Cincy missing the playoffs both years. In 2022-23, the Bengals lost to Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game, and in 2021-22, they lost to the L.A. Rams in the Super Bowl.

The SuperBook opened Cincinnati -4.5 in its NFL odds Week 1 market, and literally within minutes on May 14, the number jumped to -5.5. It stuck at Bengals -5.5 all summer, then today – Sunday, Aug. 24 – bumped to -6.

The total opened at 46.5, bottomed out at 45 June 19 and in the past week rebounded to 45.5/46.5.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets Odds

• Opening point spread: Steelers -3
• Opening moneyline: Steelers -155/Jets +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 39 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: With 75 minutes until kickoff, the Steelers are 3-point home favorites in BetMGM's NFL Week 1 odds. That matches the opening number, even though Pittsburgh – with Aaron Rodgers making his debut today – is a popular play.

In digital action (mobile/online), the Steelers are No. 1 in spread tickets and spread money at BetMGM.

"We're not writing a ton of Jets action. It's probably 75% to the Steelers," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

Pittsburgh is popular on the moneyline, too, with bettors willing to lay -155 or so.

BetMGM opened the total at 39.5 and is down to 38. In mobile/online betting, tickets and money are solidly on the Under.

"It's a rare time where we would want an Over," Cipollini said.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Borgata Sports hasn't moved off Steelers -3 throughout the offseason, instead making only juice adjustments. As of Wednesday afternoon, it's Pittsburgh -3 (even).

"We’ve written about two times more tickets on the Steelers than we have on the Jets," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "But we won’t be hurting for Jets money, as they are one of the local teams who always draw money early in the season, no matter how bad they are projected to be.

"I think the 3 is relatively solid at this point, unless we take something really significant on one side."

The Steelers opened as 3 point road favorites here for week 1 and it hasn’t moved off the 3, but the juice has been adjusted a few times and now the Jets are juiced to +3 -120.  The total has come down a point from the opener of 39.5. 

PRIOR UPDATE: This line has been at various versions of Steelers -2.5/-3 since opening in May at DraftKings. The latest move came early Monday morning, from Pittsburgh -2.5 (-120) to -3 (-102).

Early spread ticket count is 2/1-plus and early spread money 4/1 on the Steelers. On the moneyline, it's 5/1 tickets and 2/1 money on Pittsburgh.

The total opened at 39.5, bottomed out at 37.5 on Aug. 22 and went to 38.5 on Aug. 25. Ticket count is almost dead even, but money is 3/1 on the Under so far.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Pittsburgh (10-8 SU/11-7 ATS) got an AFC Wild Card bid last season. But that's as far as the Steelers could stretch it, losing at Baltimore 28-14 as 9-point underdogs.

This season, Pittsburgh trots out Aaron Rodgers in what he said will likely be his final campaign.

Speaking of Rodgers, New York (5-12 SU/6-11 ATS) moves on from the veteran QB, though it's not necessarily an upgrade this season. Justin Fields, playing on his third team in three seasons, is No. 1 on the Jets' depth chart.

New York's 2024-25 season got blown up by losing streaks of five and four games.

The SuperBook opened the Steelers -3 in Week 1 NFL odds. As of Sunday, Aug. 24, Pittsburgh is -3 (even), where the line has been stuck since late May.

"Currently more tickets on the Steelers, but more money on the Jets, on straight bets and parlays," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said of early point-spread play. "I think we will continue to see split action on this game. I'm not sure we will know the need until right before kickoff.

"Nothing to the moneyline right now, just some smaller tickets on the Jets at plus money. Same with the total. Not a real decision, but some sprinkles on the Under."

The total opened at 39, nudged to 38.5 July 24, then this morning dipped to 38.

New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders Odds

• Opening point spread: Commanders -7
• Opening moneyline: Commanders -380/Giants +320
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Giants vs. Commanders prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: Three-plus hours ahead of kickoff, Washington is 6-point chalk in BetMGM's Week 1 NFL odds. That's down a point from the Commanders -7 opener.

It's two-way action on the spread, with a lean toward the underdog Giants, who are taking 52% of tickets/55% of money.

BetMGM opened the total at 45.5 and it's now 46.5, with tickets dead even and 74% of money on the Over.

LATEST UPDATE: As of Monday night, DraftKings is down to Washington -6, after opening at -7 (-105) and going to -6.5 a couple times over the summer. The Commanders moved from -6.5 to -6 on Aug. 19 and haven't moved off that number since.

Washington is drawing 62% of early spread bets, but early spread cash is running dead even.

The total hasn't budged off 45.5 all summer, though the juice adjusted a couple times. It's two-way action, with 54% of bets/55% of money on the Over.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Washington (14-6 SU/12-7-1 ATS) made a surprising run to the NFC Championship Game, behind Rookie of the Year QB Jayden Daniels. The Commanders shocked No. 1 seed Detroit in the Divisional Round, winning 45-31 as 8.5-point 'dogs.

But Daniels & Co. had no answer for Philly a week later, getting blown out 55-23 as 6-point road pups.

New York (3-14 SU/5-12 ATS) tied for the worst record in the league last season. From Weeks 6-16, the Giants lost 10 consecutive games. This season brings a new quarterback, with Russell Wilson moving on from Pittsburgh to the Big Apple.

Washington opened as 7-point chalk in The SuperBook's NFL Week 1 odds. The line spent most of the summer at various iterations of Commanders -6.5, then dipped to -6 on Aug. 20, where it remains on Aug. 24.

The total opened at 46.5, bottomed out at 45.5 and peaked at 47.5, all by early June. This morning, the total moved from 45.5 to 46.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons Odds

• Opening point spread: Pick
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers -125/Falcons +105
• Opening total: Over/Under 49.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: This NFC South clash hasn't seen much movement over the past three-plus months. Tampa Bay opened -1.5 and is now -1 in BetMGM's NFL Week 1 odds. The Bucs are netting 64% of spread bets, while 52% of spread money is on the host Falcons.

The total opened at 48.5 and is down to 47, with 61% of bets/57% of money on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: With three days until kickoff, the Bucs are down to -1.5 (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook. Back on May 23, Tampa opened -2.5 (-115), and the past month has seen this line make multiple trips to -1.5.

The latest move came Wednesday night, from Bucs -2.5 (-105) to the current -1.5 (-115). Tampa Bay is taking 70% of early spread tickets/56% of early spread money at DK. Somewhat similarly, moneyline action shows the Buccaneers with 75% of tickets/61% of money.

DraftKings' total stands at 46.5 (Over -118), after opening at 48.5 and spending the past couple weeks toggling between 47.5/46.5. The Over is drawing 65% of tickets/70% of money.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Tampa Bay (10-8 SU and ATS) won the NFC South last season to get a home game on Wild Card Weekend. But the Bucs didn't advance, losing 23-20 as 3-point favorites vs. Washington.

Atlanta (8-9 SU/7-10 ATS) had a shot at the division title late in the season. But the Falcons dropped their final two contests, both in overtime. The season ended with a 44-38 OT loss laying 7.5 points at home vs. Carolina, in a game that had big Circa Survivor implications.

This game opened at pick in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 1 market. By May 23, the Bucs were up to 2.5-point road favorites, but on July 9, the line backed up to -1.5/-1. Tampa returned to -1.5 Aug. 4 and this morning – Sunday, Aug. 24 – went to -2.

The total opened at 49.5 and slowly made its way to down to 47.5, a low point reached this morning.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. New England Patriots Odds

• Opening point spread: Patriots -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Patriots -160/Raiders +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 44 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Months ago, BetMGM opened the Patriots as 2.5-point home favorites. With kickoff three-plus hours out, New England is -2.5 (-115).

Point-spread play is two-way with a lean toward the favorite, at 57% of tickets and money.

The total opened at 43.5 and is now 44, with 71% of bets on the Over, but money running almost dead even.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: New England made multiple moves this week between -3 (-102) and -2.5 (-118) in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 1 market. On Thursday afternoon, it's Patriots -2.5 (-118), on a game that opened Pats -3.5 (even) back in May.

Spread play is two-way so far, with ticket count dead even and 56% of money on New England.

DK's total is at 43.5, matching the opener, one point off the low mark of 42.5 – where it spent much of the summer – and a point off the 44.5 high mark Monday. The Over is getting 52% of tickets/69% of money.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Las Vegas (4-13 SU/7-10 ATS) had yet another disappointing season. The Raiders lost 10 in a row from Weeks 5-15, leading to the firing of coach Antonio Pierce.

Pete Carroll is the new coach, and he tapped his Seattle roots by trading to acquire quarterback Geno Smith, who is No. 1 on the depth chart.

New England (4-13 SU/7-9-1 ATS) sent coach Jerod Mayo packing after a poor 2024 campaign. The Patriots endured two six-game losing streaks last season. In Mayo's place, another former Patriots star stepped in, with Mike Vrabel taking over as coach.

Back on May 14, The SuperBook opened New England -3.5. Within minutes, the Pats dipped to -3, and they stuck at that number all summer. The Patriots went to -3 (even) on June 18, and they remain there tonight, Aug. 24.

The total opened at 44, slid to 42.5 within three weeks and hasn't moved since June 2.

Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds

• Opening point spread: Pick
• Opening moneyline: Dolphins -110/Colts -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: This line jumped the fence twice this morning at ESPNBET. Indianapolis opened -1.5 and was sitting at -1.5 a couple hours ago. Then the number flipped to Dolphins -1.5, but it's now sitting at Colts -1.5 (even).

Spread tickets and money are in the 3/1 range on Miami.

ESPNBET's total is at 46.5 (Over) -115, up from a 45.5 opener. It's two-way play, with 53% of bets/58% of cash on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: This matchup has almost exclusively been at either Colts -1.5 or -0.5 – ostensibly a pick 'em – since opening in DraftKings' Week 1 NFL odds. There were two brief visits to Indy -2.5 (-105) on Aug. 23.

As of Thursday afternoon, it's Colts -1.5 (-102). Spread tickets are running 3/1 and spread money 4/1 on visiting Miami. Early bettors are also favoring Miami moneyline, with tickets and money 2.5/1.

DraftKings' total is at 47.5 (Under -120), after opening at 45.5 and going to 46.5 on Aug. 12 before reaching 47.5 Monday. Still, 62% of tickets and dollars are on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Miami (8-9 SU and ATS) needs to find a way to keep Tua Tagovailoa in the lineup. Last year, Tagovailoa missed six games: four after a Week 2 concussion and the final two due to a hip injury. Miami was 2-4 SU without its No. 1 quarterback.

Indianapolis (8-9 SU/9-8 ATS) drafted QB Anthony Richardson No. 4 overall in 2023, in hopes he'd be the long-term starting quarterback. Two seasons later, it was announced last week that offseason acquisition Daniel Jones will be the Week 1 starter, with Richardson the backup.

Dolphins vs. Colts opened as a pick 'em at The SuperBook, and Miami spent much of the summer as 1-point chalk. On Aug. 18, the line jumped the fence to Indy -1.5, then briefly went to Colts -2 Aug. 19, before reverting back to -1.5. That's where it sits on the evening of Aug. 24.

The total nudged from 46.5 to 47 back on May 23, and it hasn't budged since.

Carolina Panthers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Jaguars -3
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars -150/Panthers +130
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (FOX)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Panthers vs. Jaguars prediction.

GAME DAY UPDATE: As of 10 a.m. ET, the Jags are out to 4.5-point favorites in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 1 market. That's already up a point from -3.5 earlier this morning, and Jacksonville opened -2.5.

The Jaguars are drawing 72% of spread bets, but spread money is closer to two-way.

BetMGM's total is at 46.5 (Under -115), after opening 46.5 flat. The Over is drawing 54% of tickets, while 56% of money is on the Under.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: The Jaguars are -3.5 (-105) in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 1 market. That nearly matches the opener back in May of Jacksonville -3.5 (even). Over the summer, the Jags spent time at -3 and -2.5, but they've been steady at -3.5 since Monday.

Jacksonville is netting 58% of spread bets/61% of spread money.

DraftKings' total is at 46.5 (Over -115), up from the 45.5 (Over -115) opener, but down from Sunday's high point of 47.5 (Under -118). The Under is getting 61% of bets, while 79% of cash is on the Over.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Much like Miami, Jacksonville (4-13 SU/10-7 ATS) really needs to keep its quarterback upright. Trevor Lawrence played just 10 of 17 games last season, including missing the final five after a concussion.

Carolina (5-12 SU/8-9 ATS) is coming off another subpar season, but at least finished on an upward swing. The Panthers won two of their last three, including a 44-38 overtime victory as 7.5-point underdogs at Atlanta in Week 18.

Jacksonville opened -3 and spent much of the summer at -2.5 (-120) in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 1 market. The Jags went to -3 (even) on Aug. 15 and moved to -3 flat just before this update, on Aug. 24.

The total hasn't moved off 46.5 all summer.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Odds

• Opening point spread: Cardinals -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Cardinals -220/Saints +190
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Sept. 7 (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: By ticket count percentage and money percentage, this is BetMGM's most lopsided game in NFL Week 1 odds. Arizona opened -4.5 and is now -6.5 (-105), while attracting 76% of spread tickets/85% of spread money.

The total opened at 42.5 and was at 43.5 earlier this morning, but has since jumped to 44.5 (Under -115). Ticket count is close, but 90% of dollars are on the Over.

LATEST UPDATE: This might be among the least-anticipated matchups in NFL odds Week 1. That said, early action at BetMGM shows Cards-Saints to be among the most lopsided games.

Arizona is out to 6.5-point chalk from a -4.5 opener. The Cardinals are nabbing 77% of spread tickets/87% of spread money.

The total is up a tick from 42.5 to 43. Ticket count is dead even, while 61% of cash is on the Over.

PRIOR UPDATE: New Orleans (5-12 SU/6-11 ATS) looks as if it'll have a quarterback problem this season. Derek Carr surprisingly retired in the offseason. Now, Spencer Rattler is No. 1 on the depth chart, followed by second-round draft pick Tyler Shough.

Arizona (8-9 SU/11-6 ATS) was actually one of the better spread-covering outfits last season. QB Kyler Murray played in all 17 games, following an injury-plagued three-season stretch in which he played 14, 11 and eight games.

With the Saints' dubious QB situation, The SuperBook opened the Cardinals -4.5 back on May 14. Arizona went to -5 May 23 and -6 May 25, and through Aug. 24, there's been no movement in the NFL Week 1 odds market.

The total opened at 43.5, quickly went to 42.5 and hasn't moved in the three-plus months since.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -140/Chargers +120
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Friday, Sept. 5 (YouTube)

Check out our full game preview for a comprehensive Chargers vs. Chiefs prediction.

GAME DAY LATE UPDATE: Prime Sportsbook, which often sees sharper action at its markets in New Jersey/Ohio/Kentucky, has the Chiefs as 3-point chalk 40 minutes before kickoff. That's up from a K.C. -2.5 opener and a very brief stint at -2, with the number sitting at -3 for a while now.

"There isn't a doubt about how the public and pros see this game going. Taking the spread on the Chiefs is a favorite among both parties leading into tonight's game," a Prime spokesperson said. "Something that's jumping off the page for us is that money is split on who wins outright in New Jersey, but Ohio is Chiefs all the way.

"The Chargers winning and the Under would be a decent night for the book. There's a little bit of uncertainty on the total. But the public is feeling a shootout."

Prime's total is up to 47 from a 44 opener.

GAME DAY EARLY UPDATE: As of 11:30 a.m. Friday, Kansas City is 3-point chalk in BetMGM's NFL Week 1 odds. Over the course of three-plus months, the number is up half a point from the Chiefs -2.5 opener.

Spread ticket count and spread dollars are both 2/1 on the Chiefs for this neutral-site clash in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The moneyline, however, is more balanced, with 52% of tickets on K.C./55% of money underdog L.A.

The total opened at 44.5 and was at 46.5 earlier this morning. It's now at 47 (Under -115), with close two-way action on the Over/Under.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: This divisional battle in Sao Paulo, Brazil, opened with Kansas City a 2.5-point favorite at Borgata Sports.

"We have seen the Chiefs take money, and they now sit as 3-point favorites," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said Wednesday afternoon. "I believe you’ll probably see this number toggle between 3 and 3.5 before kickoff on Friday night.

"There are a lot of parlays running through the Chiefs, both on the spread and on the moneyline."

PRIOR UPDATE: Back in May, K.C. opened -3 (-105) in DraftKings Sportsbook's Week 1 NFL odds. The Chiefs bottomed out at -3.5 in mid-July, then spent all of August toggling between various iterations of -3/-3.5.

On Monday, four days from kickoff, Kansas City is -3 (-115). It's two-way point-spread play with a lean toward the Chiefs, at 58% of tickets and money. DraftKings' moneyline action is more pronounced on K.C., at 77% of tickets/73% of money.

DK's total bounced between 44.5/45.5 a few times over the summer, and it's been stable at 45.5 the past week. The Over is seeing 59% of tickets, while 60% of cash is on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Kansas City (17-3 SU/9-11 ATS) has won five of the past six AFC titles, along with three Super Bowls. But the last time we saw the Chiefs, they were getting thumped by Philadelphia 40-22 in Super Bowl 59.

K.C. closed as 1.5-point chalk in that game and was never in it, trailing 34-0 at one point late in the third quarter.

Los Angeles (11-7 SU/12-6 ATS) had a relatively successful first season under coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers landed a Wild Card berth, but lost to Houston 32-12 as 2.5-point road favorites.

Chiefs-Chargers is a neutral-site matchup, taking place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Kansas City opened -2.5 in The SuperBook's Week 1 NFL odds and didn't budge for nearly three months. On Aug. 5, the Chiefs went to -3, and the line adjusted to -3 (-120) on Aug. 7, where it remains on Sunday, Aug. 24.

"Action here is pretty split moneywise, but more than double the tickets on the Chiefs," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said of spread play. "Moneyline, on straight bets and parlays, is all Chiefs right now, as well.

"I would be surprised if we don't need the Chargers when they kickoff.

The total opened at 44.5, peaked at 46.5 in mid-June and is now 45.5.

"Tickets on the total are 50/50, but there's more money on the Over, and I think the public will continue to bet that way," Degnon said.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -7
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -330/Cowboys +270
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Thursday, Sept. 4 (NBC)

GAME DAY LATE UPDATE: An hour before kickoff, BetMGM has the spread at Eagles -8 (-102)/Cowboys +8 (-102), offering reduced juice on the game. Months ago, Philadelphia opened -7, and over the past week, the line climbed to -7.5/-8/-8.5.

It was Philly -8.5 this morning, but the number has since dipped a half-point.

"We saw some buyback on the Cowboys this morning. But the last couple hours have been one-way traffic on Philly," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said. "Over 48.5 is a popular play, as well. So hopefully we can see a low-scoring affair in tonight's opener.

"Cowboys +7.5 to +8.5 and Under 48.5 is the best outcome for the house tonight. There's great handle on the game, and hopefully there'll be another late push by kickoff."

GAME DAY EARLY UPDATE: DraftKings Sportsbook has the Eagles out to -8.5 (-105), as of 11:30 a.m. ET, about nine hours before kickoff. Philly has toggled between -7.5/-8.5, at various juice, throughout this week.

Back on May 23, the Eagles opened -7, and they bottomed out at -6.5 on Aug. 21, before Dallas traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay.

Action on spread straight bets isn't as tilted as the odds moves might indicate. Philadelphia is landing 63% of tickets/57% of money. However, there's almost no question that the Eagles are in countless parlays/moneyline parlays to kick off the season.

DK's total is at 47.5, moving there from 46.5 last week after the Parsons trade.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: As of 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, about 28 hours before this game kicks off, Borgata Sports has the Eagles out to -8.5. Philly opened -7 and stretched out over the past few days after Dallas traded star edge rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay.

With Borgata sitting in Atlantic City, not far from Philadelphia, this matchup is particularly popular.

"This will be a significant game for us locally, and we will probably be skewed in terms of the betting handle, compared with some of the national books," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "We have seen significant Eagles money since the Parsons trade was announced.

"I can't say all of that came in due to the trade. But within the last week, it's been nothing but Philly money. We initially went from -7 to -7.5 when the trade was announced. But the money keeps coming in, driving this number higher."

Borgata opened the total at 46.5 and is now 47.5.

PRIOR UPDATE: Thursday's news of Dallas trading star edge rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay made a dent in the Cowboys-Eagles line. DraftKings Sportsbook first made a couple juice adjustments, from Eagles -7 (-108) to -7 (-118), then to -7 (-122).

But in fairly short order, Philly advanced to -7.5 (-105), where the line stood as of 12:30 p.m. ET Friday.

No surprise, the Super Bowl champion Eagles are popular and will likely only get more so as Thursday night nears. Spread tickets are running 2/1 and spread money 3/1 on Philadelphia at DraftKings.

DK's total also moved following the Parsons trade news, from 46.5 (Over -115) to 47.5 (Under -118). Early tickets and money are in the 2.5/1 range on the Over.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia went 18-3 SU and a stout 14-7 ATS last season. The Eagles were 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS in the playoffs, capped by their impressive 40-22 rout of Kansas City as 1.5-point underdogs.

Dallas (7-10 SU and ATS) missed the playoffs last season, but managed to go 5-2 ATS in its last seven games. In the regular-season finale, the Cowboys were 7-point home underdogs vs. Washington and nearly got the upset, losing 23-19 on a final-seconds touchdown.

One potentially notable issue for Dallas as of Aug. 24: With 11 days until the season opener, star defensive end Micah Parsons still doesn't have a new contract.

The SuperBook first posted NFL Week 1 odds on May 13, installing the Eagles as 7-point home favorites. That line stuck most of the summer, dipping to -6.5 for literally two hours on Aug. 11, before returning to -7.

On Monday, Aug. 25, The SuperBook went to its now standard reduced juice on all NFL games. So, as of Wednesday, Aug. 27, the line is now Eagles -7 (-108)/Cowboys +7 (-108).

"There are more tickets and money on Cowboys spread. Not much on the moneyline yet, but I anticipate the Eagles being involved in a million different parlays and teasers," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said tonight. "It feels like we'll be rooting for Dallas to spoil the Eagles' banner night."

The total opened at 47.5 and went to 47/46.5 July 9. On Aug. 11, it bottomed out at 45.5 for a couple hours, then returned to 46.5.

"Some action on the Under has dropped us a point from the opener," Degnon said.
