Week 1 NFL 2022: Odds, TV Schedule, Best Bets
The NFL 2020 season kicks off tonight when the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. While the Rams dominated the NFC last year on their way to winning the Super Bowl under new QB Matt Stafford, they find themselves as a Vegas underdog in their home opener vs. Buffalo.
The Bills are a great team, however, it does seem a bit odd to see the defending champs as the home dog in Week 1. Nevertheless, we are hoping to start off hot with our NFL picks!
Last week, our NCAA picks finished a stout 4-1 and should have been a perfect 5-0 if OSU didn’t pull a 4th quarter disappearing act vs. Central Michigan.
While we love to break down games with stats, commentary, and other figures every week here at SOD, this week we aren’t wasting any time with chit-chat! Just like Week 1 for our college picks, we are diving right in!
