The NFL<\/strong> season is still months away, but that hasn\u2019t stopped oddsmakers from putting line\u2019s on the board for the opening week of play. For bettors willing to peer into the future, these lines can provide a great opportunity to find value by attacking lines before the general public moves them around.<\/p>\n Cappers Picks is your source for betting & ATS NFL handicapping insight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We KNOW you will find our FREE weekly nfl football predictions, tips and plays help make you more money all season long.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at five favorites and five underdogs worthy of a closer gambling eye in Week 1.<\/p>\n Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears<\/strong> The Packers embarrassed the Bears in a prime time showdown last season, and have been the class of the NFC North division for years now. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n A coaching change in Chicago likely isn\u2019t what the Bears needed to stop Aaron Rodgers and co., as their suspect defense still figures to have trouble against Green Bay\u2019s aerial attack.<\/p>\n Carolina Panthers at Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong> The Jaguars have been making strides in the right direction in recent years, but they still aren\u2019t ready to hang with a division winner like the Panthers. Carolina may have its flaws, but early in the season is a good time to fade bad squads like Jacksonville before the lines get inflated.<\/p>\n Detroit Lions at San Diego Chargers<\/strong> The Lions took a big step forward last season and revealed themselves a playoff contender, but this is a team that still needs a lot of work. The Chargers faded down the stretch a year ago, but they\u2019re back and healthy and that figures to mean a good showing on their home turf.<\/p>\n Cincinnati Bengals at Oakland Raiders<\/strong> When it comes to betting the Bengals, it\u2019s all about deciphering which Andy Dalton will show up. Cincinnati\u2019s a complete squad from top to bottom with the exception of its two-faced quarterback. There\u2019s no reason for the bad Andy Dalton to be showing up in Oakland.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints at Arizona Cardinals<\/strong> The Saints bring some name value into the opener, but they\u2019re a team that shed a lot of talent in the offseason, and even though Sean Payton and Drew Brees are still in place, this New Orleans team is effectively in a quick rebuild. Going on the road to visit a Cardinals team that\u2019s coming off back-to-back double-digit win seasons and returns a healthy Carson Palmer isn\u2019t a recipe for success.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots<\/strong> The Patriots don\u2019t miss the mark on a lot of personnel decisions, and while they\u2019ll likely win out with those decisions in the long run, it\u2019s tough to ignore how much talent will be playing elsewhere this coming season. The Steelers will be without Le\u2019Veon Bell, but Ben Roethlisberger can still keep that offense moving.<\/p>\n Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans<\/strong> The Chiefs continue to get no respect from oddsmakers, and they have a chance to earn their supporters an easy win to start the season. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Texans still have some quarterback issues to sort out, and doing so against the Chiefs\u2019 pass rush is hardly a recipe for success.<\/p>\n Cleveland Browns at New York Jets<\/strong> The Jets have a new coach in place, but it\u2019s another defensive mind who isn\u2019t going to help Geno Smith and that offense figure things out. The Browns were a sneaky good team last season and have many of the same faces in place.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams<\/strong> The Seahawks were stunned in their last trip to St. Louis, and in what could be the final home opener at the Edward Jones Dome, don\u2019t be surprised to see Jeff Fisher pull out all the stops to get his team into the win column out of the gates.<\/p>\n Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills<\/strong> Rex Ryan knows when he\u2019s on the big stage, and getting his coaching tenure in Buffalo off on the right foot will be way atop his list of priorities. The Colts have had trouble when making the step up in class during the regular season, and a trip to face the Bills will be no walk in the park.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63706&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Expert NFL Cappers \u2013 Week 1 Projections The NFL season is still months away, but that hasn\u2019t stopped oddsmakers from putting line\u2019s on the board for the opening week of play.
