By Hank Blaine

Odds for NFL Week 1 are out. Top matches include the Ravens versus the Chiefs, Packers against Eagles, Rams at Lions, and on Monday night, Jets versus 49ers. Check out early NFL odds, analysis, and free picks for every game on the NFL Week 1 schedule.

A Look at Every Game for 2024 NFL Week 1

Baltimore Ravens vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are at home, which should give KC an edge. But last season, Kansas City fell to the Detroit Lions in NFL Week 1. Expect a similar result in this because the Ravens will be motivated after bombing in last year’s AFC Championship.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Ravens

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

How good is Green Bay? That’s the question heading into their first game versus the Eagles. The Packers offense is plenty good. That we know. So even if the defense performs below expectations, the offense should surge ahead of the Eagles, whose defense doesn’t look great, and grab the straight-up win.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Packers

Tennessee Titans vs. Chicago Bears

Although the Bears should be the better team, the bottom line in this game is that Chicago starts a rookie quarterback and a lot of young players versus a Tennessee team with some veteran talent. The spread is too large to back Da Bears.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta has the edge because of Kirk Cousins, a decent defense, and the fact this happens on the road. Still, the Steelers will boast one of the league’s top defenses and has a resurgent Russell Wilson in their corner. Give Pittsburgh a big chance to take it to the ATL.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Miami Dolphins

Jacksonville isn’t a good road team. Miami’s offense should be unstoppable early, and the defense will be improved. Jags fall.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Dolphins

New England Patriots vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Patriots are a disaster. Not only that, but in this game, the Bengals will absolutely dominate New England’s defense, which is almost as bad as the Pats’ offense.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Bengals

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts have home field, which is one of the reasons the betting line is so low. Still, the Texans have a deep and talented roster. It’s going to be difficult for Indianapolis to win this, given that they can’t compete with Houston from a roster standpoint.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Vikings

Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Giants

As bad the Vikings are, the Giants are worse. Minnesota does have some talent, including the great Justin Jefferson. The Giants don’t have much talent. Vikings roll.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Vikings

Arizona Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bills

The Bills are much, much better than the Arizona Cardinals. Still, the line is high, Zona has improved, and Buffalo sometimes blows it in the first game of the season. Take the points.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Cardinals

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers

There is no way Jim Harbaugh loses his first game as the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach. Not only that, but the Bolts have the deeper talent pool. Chargers cover.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Chargers

Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

Denver isn’t a good team, but neither are the Seahawks. The line feels like it’s too much, given that these two teams are similar in talent. Denver has a real shot of winning this straight up, which means taking the points is the play.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Broncos

Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns

The Browns will be tough to beat on the road. But Dallas has a massive edge at the quarterback position. Deshaun Watson, when he hasn’t been hurt, has struggled.

Dak Prescott should find success, even though Myles Turner will be in his face. Gack the Boys to win straight up.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Cowboys

Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Veteran team gets it done. Tampa will confuse Jayden Daniels, who should get the start in D.C. Not only that, but Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans have developed a nice rapport. Tampa scores the cover victory.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Buccaneers

Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions

The hook is going to be meaningful. Detroit and the Rams have talent to win the NFC and possibly the Super Bowl. The difference is that the Lions take on the Rams at Ford Field. Detroit wins, but a 3-point victory is the ceiling.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Lions

New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers

The line is too high to back the Niners. No doubt, San Francisco should win this, but the Jets will be strong on both sides of the football this season.

The J-E-T-S defense will be particularly excellent. If Rodgers and Garrett Wilson click, the offense will also be one of the better units in the NFL. 49ers win, but don’t cover.

2024 NFL Week 1 Pick: Jets
