Writer’s NFL Over/Under Picks for the First Week of the Season
Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs – 46.5
Thursday, September 5th, 2024
Ravens versus Chiefs has the makings of a shootout.
Both teams can move the football and pile up points.
But in the first game of the season, we shouldn’t expect much from either team.
There is a legit question mark regarding the Chiefs defense.
KC lost key players.
So expect Mahomes and his mates to eat up clock in an attempt to keep the ball out of Lamar Jackson’s hands.
Under is the play.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Under
Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles – 48.5
Friday, September 6th, 2024
The game counts as a home contest for the Eagles.
The matchup, though, happens in Brazil at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo.
It doesn’t seem fair that Philadelphia, a team coming off a tough season, has to play a home game in Brazil.
No matter the location, the offenses could struggle because Vic Fangio will make sure Philly’s defense is up to the task and the Packers’ defense should be better.
48.5 points are too many for an NFL Week 1 game.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Under
Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta Falcons – 42.5
Sunday, September 8th, 2024
This looked like an over game for sure.
The line, 42.5, isn’t too high.
Also, the Steelers upgraded their offense and so did the Falcons.
Atlanta should field one of the top offenses in the NFC this season.
Over looked good but then the ATL decided to make a play for not one but two stellar defenders.
Linebacker Matthew Judon and strong safety Justin Simmons should rock Justin Fields or Russell Wilson.
Go under.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Under
Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants – 41.5
Sunday, September 8th, 2024
Oddsmakers look at the Giants’ and Vikings’ offenses and think there’s no way either team approaches 20 points.
However, neither team has fantastic defense.
Both teams have good defensive players but the overall defenses aren’t great.
So there is a chance for Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold, who has had his moments as a starter, to get it done.
The Giants won’t cover Justin Jefferson with success.
The Vikings won’t cover rookie Malik Nabers with success.
Over is the play.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Over
Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks – 41.5
Sunday, September 8th, 2024
Here’s another over under total that looks off.
Seahawks versus Broncos should go over by a mile.
Denver already has a rookie quarterback star in Bo Nix.
Sean Payton had Nix at the top of his big board.
He drafted Nix in the first round while everybody thought Bo would go in the second.
So far, Payton has proven to be right as Nix has had a fantastic preseason.
Geno Smith has proven he can post 300 yard games.
As long as DK Metcalf is healthy, Smith should have a fantastic game versus a hard trying but suspect Denver defense.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Over
Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions – 51.5
Sunday, September 8th, 2024
Although the line is massive and it’s always tough to go over huge totals early in the NFL season, it’s difficult to go under when the Rams head to the Lions.
No doubt, both teams have decent defenses.
But the offenses are stellar in this matchup.
Both teams are good for at least 27 points.
Rams versus Lions has the makings of a classic where a team wins by scoring a late field goal in a 34-31 game.
NFL Week 1 O/U Pick: Over
