Week 1 NFL Opening Odds Report: Line Moves That Bettors Need To Pay Attention To
We have known about the opening odds and lines for Week 1 of this 2019 NFL season for a while now but now that we’re in the home stretch to football, it is time to test out how some noteworthy spreads have moved and what we could decipher from them.
Take a look at our NFL chances page to find the updated chances for all 16 games of Week 1.
Back at the start of the summer, oddsmakers figured this game would be a battle as both teams bet darlings in the AFC. Once his retirement was announced by Andrew Luck , sportsbooks had no option but to move this line to a touchdown. The Chargers might be getting more of their money at this point (57%) but there are??still bettors who believe that??Luck’s substitute, Jacoby Brissett, will keep the??Colts??aggressive. This spread should move to -7.5 or -8 from kickoff.

Also how the Bengals roster is shaping up and the Seahawks have a great betting history of masking spreads, it could be a blowout in Seattle. The Seahawks started as 7.5-point favorites and after Bengals WR AJ Green went down with the injury, the books needed to shift this line by 2 points to decrease exposure. The chances of Seattle can’t hurt and look for this spread for to double digits with 60% of their cash currently on the Seahawks.

The Hard Knocks factor functions in the favor going into Week 1 of the team however, the Raiders’ spread has dropped three points because the lines opened. Divisional games are close along with the Broncos have been a team that has rewarded bettors 1 because they’re 5-0 SU at the past five years in the opener. Fifty-seven??percent of the cash is currently on the Raiders and I expect this line to stay at a select ’em or Raiders -1 simply because they’re the home team.

No team has gotten more hype that this offseason than the Cleveland Browns. But despite their acquisitions and the discussion in the talking heads from the press, they’re only getting 58% of spread bets.
It’s likely because they’re??still the Browns until they fully jump on board with 27, and a lot of bettors are carrying a wait-and-see strategy. I believe this line gets up to -7 from Sunday and that I would think about a Titans wager unless it had been +8 or better since the Titans have been 7-11 ATS in their last 18 road games and are currently lacking their starting left tackle.

This game might be a show in a rush and I think this line is really low. The Ravens are consistently one of the Week 1 teams with three years with a triumph plus a pay. Last year, they played with a team that was similarly inept on crime vs Buffalo and proceeded to thrash them 47-3. The Dolphins are punting over the 2019 year after trading off almost any time you are able to bet using a touchdown or not against them and their starting left tackle, you have to carry it. I visit that this spread going to or -8 by kickoff.
