Buccaneers -1.5 vs. Falcons
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and veteran wide receiver Mike Evans are going to be a significant challenge for Atlanta’s young defense to contain. The Falcons ranked No. 31 in the NFL in sacks last season, causing them to invest heavily in improving their defense. However, it is going to take time for them to get into a rhythm, while Tampa Bay’s offense should be firing right from the start. Mayfield became the fourth player in NFL history to throw for at least 4,000 yards with 40 touchdowns last season. The model has the Buccaneers covering the spread in 64% of simulations.Â
Over 42.5 points in Broncos vs. Titans
Denver is entering its second season with quarterback Bo Nix at the helm after he had an impressive rookie campaign. Nix had 3,775 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns, leading Denver to a surprise playoff appearance. Wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims are back, while J.K Dobbins takes over as the starting running back. Tennessee should be significantly better offensively with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward on the field, especially since the Titans added wide receiver Tyler Lockett in the offseason. The model has these teams combining for 47 points in a game that goes Over in 61% of simulations.Â
Packers -1.5 vs. Lions
Green Bay will be playing in front of a raucous crowd on Sunday afternoon, as it opens an anticipated season against a division rival. The Packers added star edge rusher Micah Parsons to their defense last month, while the Lions lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to Chicago. Detroit swept the season series last year and is 6-2 in the rivalry since Dan Campbell was hired in 2021, so Green Bay is extremely motivated to pick up a season-opening win. The model has the Packers covering the spread 57% of the time to provide value on this line at DraftKings. Â
