Week 1 NFL Betting Previews for Sunday

If you missed yesterday’s blog, I previewed every FBS matchup. On Friday, I’ll preview Sunday’s NFL games with key injuries, last year’s meetings, odds, TV networks/streams, and more. I’ll preview the MNF game on Monday morning. Early Sunday games Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers 1:00 PM ET — FOXCurrent range: Chicago -3; Total: 47 Open: -2.5/45.5. Quarterbacks: Caleb Williams vs. Bryce Young. This is an interesting measuring-stick game for both former No. 1 picks. Williams enters Year 3 in Ben Johnson’s offense, while Young is coming off a much more encouraging 2025 season in which Carolina won the NFC South despite finishing 8-9. The Panthers were only 27th in total offense last season, so Young’s ability to create explosive passes remains important. Key injuries: Chicago WR Rome

Betting Approach to Week 1 of the NFL

Week 1 of the NFL kicks off on Thursday, September 9!! ATS Football offers many winners in Week 1 of College Football, including UMass (+29) outright over Rutgers! UFC Wins 7 of the last 9 weeks. Is now on a 35-unit run! Week 1 is one of the most dangerous—and potentially exploitable. The best approach is to be selective rather than aggressive. The 2026 Week 1 board has 16 games, and many spreads are relatively short, which makes price discipline especially important. Best approach to NFL Week 1 betting 1. Don’t overreact to last season. Personnel, coordinators, schemes, offensive lines and defensive rotations can change dramatically. Downgrade 2025 ATS records compared with current roster strength, coaching changes and matchup advantages. 2. Make your own number

FRIDAY San Jose State at Eastern Michigan — 6:30 ET Line: Eastern Michigan -3 | Total: 56. Open: 3/53.5. This is one of the more interesting Friday MAC/Mountain West crossover games. Eastern Michigan gets home field, but San Jose State has the more intriguing defensive challenge after coming off a 2025 season that produced enough competitiveness to make this a dangerous number. The key handicap is whether EMU can establish the run and
