Betting the NFL Line: Week 1

As is customary in Week 1 of the NFL, because teams haven’t shown much in the preseason, point spreads are tight and home teams are favored.

Of the 16 games on the schedule, 13 of the games have a point spread of four points or less and 14 of the favored teams are the home teams. Don’t get used to it, because after strengths and deficiencies become clear, you won’t see so many close games or home favorites happen later in the season.
