Week One comes with even more anticipation this season on the heels of a drama-filled offseason, with bettors&#8217; minds running rampant with scenarios that play out across the league. The magic of 7 HOURS OF COMMERCIAL FREE FOOTBALL, the brand new couch prints waiting for creation, and NFL intro theme music that sends chills down your spine. We are BACK, and it is absolutely time to dive into the week one NFL board.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AP22232747132127.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153500\/AP22232747132127.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153500\/AP22232747132127-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153500\/AP22232747132127-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153500\/AP22232747132127-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(AP Photo\/Ed Zurga)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-headliners\"><strong>THE HEADLINERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday Night Kickoff: The defending champion Rams (-2.5) get their rings, take their victory lap, and host the Buffalo Bills to start us off. A coin flip of a game that features one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFC against one of the most hard-hitting defenses in the AFC. It\u2019s Hard not to like the Rams here, but more notably, I like this game to start slow and go <strong>Under 53 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-early-slate\"><strong>Early Slate:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dolphins (-3) vs. Patriots: With questions looming in every direction of the Patriots coaching staff, this is quite the opener for New England. They have historically bad performances under their belt in the heat and humidity of Miami. The key matchup is how Tua and the new look Fins offense perform in the opener. Staying away from this one and praying Mac Jones has it figured out under center?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panthers (-2.5) vs. Browns: Baker Mayfield\u2019s returns to his old house and life as the scorned ex-girlfriend. He\u2019s on a path for revenge and hosts his former team in week one \u2013 what a team to be alive. I love the <strong>Panthers -2.5<\/strong> to steamroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bengals (-6.5) vs. Steelers: The defending AFC champions and Cool Kid Joey Burrow host their in-division rival, who appear to be going with Mitch Trubisky at QB over their rookie draft pick Kenny Pickett. Give me the <strong>Bengals -6.5<\/strong> at home to tame Mitch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AP22232687484793.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153523\/AP22232687484793.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153523\/AP22232687484793-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153523\/AP22232687484793-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153523\/AP22232687484793-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> (AP Photo\/AJ Mast)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-late-window\"><strong>Late Window:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chiefs (-4.5) at Cardinals: Lots of firepower here as Patty Mahomes clashes with Call of Duty savant Kyler Murray. It will be brutally tempting to bet over 53.5 points here, but as the number rises, I would <strong>look at the under<\/strong> for a week one slow starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chargers (-3) vs. Raiders: A rematch of an epic season-ending duel between these division rivals. Lucas Herbert and Derek Carr continue to clash in the AFC West, but which QB will take the next jump in their careers this season? I\u2019m taking Carr for this week one duel and <strong>Raiders +3<\/strong> or even 3.5 if you\u2019re fortunate enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-night-pick-of-the-week\"><strong>Night pick of the week:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Russ Wilson return to Seattle on MNF is juicy, the Sunday Night Football matchup of Tom Brady\u2019s Bucs vs. Dak Prescott\u2019s Cowboys is a point explosion waiting to happen. Even with a slow start, I like this game going <strong>over 50 points<\/strong> in the end. There is too much talent at QB to carve up these defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-who-cares-game\"><strong>THE \u201cWHO CARES?\u201d GAME<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commanders (-3) vs. Jaguars: I know it\u2019s only week one, but PEE-YEW, this one stinks out loud. The now Carson Wentz led Commanders (sigh) play host to the Jaguars, who are on year two of being let down by Trevor Lawrence. This game should get little to no play on Redzone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AP22239044621663.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153553\/AP22239044621663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153553\/AP22239044621663-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153553\/AP22239044621663-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/08153553\/AP22239044621663-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> (AP Photo\/Ashley Landis)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WEIRD VIBE PREDICTION OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like in college football, there\u2019s no shortage of foul NFL lines that have you questioning everything you know and have seen.
