NFL Week 1 Trend Says Fade These Heavy Favorites in Opening Odds

It may be early to start thinking about betting on NFL Week 1, but that doesn't mean that we can't find some trends to support some early bets this offseason.

With the NFL schedule release happening last week, we now have spreads for every Week 1 matchup, and there are three that fit a surprising trend since 2005.

Teams that are favored by six or more points in Week 1 are just 40-52-2 against the spread, meaning they have a hard time starting off the season with a big blowout win.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers all fall into this boat in the 2024 season.
