Top 5 NFL Early Week 1 Expert Picks & Predictions
1. Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans: Baltimore -9.5
There aren’t many predictions that our BettingPros experts are in lockstep with one another, but Baltimore taking care of business at home against a rookie in Week 1 is definitely one.
2. Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: UNDER 43.5
Andrew Erickson: Against the Packers’ defense in 2022, Justin Fields was pressured on 40% of his dropbacks, posting a 0-3 TD-INT ratio.
3. Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Cincinnati -2 (Alt Spread)
With the news that Joe Burrow was back at practice Wednesday and the expectation that he will play in Week 1, all BettingPros experts agree that Cincinnati will squeak out a win on the road.
4. Minnesota Vikings vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tampa Bay +6.0
Cumulatively, the BettingPros experts’ numbers came to Minnesota -5.5, so it’s worth it to take the Tampa Bay road dogs at +6.
5. Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders: UNDER 44.5
All of our experts project either a slugfest or a struggle fest from two teams looking for new identities. In 2022, the game in the Mile High City ended with a 22-16 Vegas victory. Expect much of the same in 2023’s Week 1.
