Week 1: NFL Picks

 Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season is here, and with the rapid growth of the sports betting industry it must feel like Christmas for bettors everywhere - especially in states where sports betting is already legal.

In fact, a recent survey suggest an increase of 36 % in American adults looking to bet on sports. And with plenty more spirals, fumbles and touchdowns coming our way, soon, that percentage is likely to go up.

 So, let's not waste anymore time and hopefully get you to the cash window with our best NFL bets for Week 1:

49ers vs. Lions (+7.5): San Francisco at plus a touchdown on the road appears to be very appealing to the general public. The 49ers, who took a step backwards in 2020 because of countless injuries, for the most part, return a slew of options on offense, while holding steady on defense. But I'm not buying a west coast team lacking depth along their offensive line can cover the tricky number to open their season vs. a former division foe (Jared Goff), respectable running game and improved roster. Grab the points and roar on your way to the money cage.

              

Jets QB Zach Wilson will make his regular season debut vs. the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Jets vs. Panthers (under 45): So, the Jets, who have suffered several crushing blows to their defense without playing a regular season down, come in a bit undervalued. For one, the Green Planes now have a defensive -minded head coach (Robert Saleh) who has preached a more aggressive approach all summer. Add a rookie QB (Zach Wilson) making his first career regular season start to a kind-of-vanilla style offense courtesy of Carolina QB Sam Darnold, who will likely be reigned in by a conservative Matt Rhule who has RB Christian McCaffrey in his back pocket to boot - and putting more than six touchdowns on the board might be too much of an ask from these two offenses. Bet its a sloppy and slow-moving game all the way to the betting window.
