Best Bets Monday Night Football: Giants vs Rams
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS BACK. And prime-time football heads out west as two teams looking to make a statement under the lights collide at SoFi Stadium. The Giants head into Los Angeles as 7-point underdogs facing a Rams team hungry to bounce back on their home turf. New York relies heavily on their physical ground game with rookie Cam Skattebo alongside standard full-house packages, using physical football to control the tempo and keep opposing offenses off the field. Malik Nabers remains a lethal weapon on the outside, while edge-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and the defense aim to disrupt rhythm upfront. On the other side, Matthew Stafford leads a dynamic Rams offense looking to unleash its high-powered potential. With Puka Nacua battling through a late-week injury designation, Los Angeles may lean heavily on their backfield split featuring Kyren Williams and Blake Corum to set the tone against New York's front. Defensively, the Rams' secondary will look to capitalize on forcing mistakes in prime time. 8:15 p.m. ET. ESPN and ABC. SoFi Stadium. Two teams trying to establish their identity early in the season. The Rams laying a full touchdown with the total sitting around 48 points. Week 2 Monday Night Football under the lights. We give our pick for Giants–Rams, our same-game parlay, and two sneaky player props to close out Week 2. No more waiting around for kickoff. Matthew Stafford and the Rams under the lights, Malik Nabers and the Giants trying to pull off the road upset. Somebody leaves SoFi with a major statement win.

Best Bets NFL Week 1: Game Picks, 6 Leg Parlay, $500 TD Scorer

Eagles at Titans is Philly -7 and a 39.5 total — Nashville as a hostage situation. Patriots are laying 5.5 to Pittsburgh. Packers are laying 4.5 at the Jets. Bucs are laying 8.5 to Cleveland. Ravens are laying 8.5 to the Saints. Texans are 2.5-point home favorites over Cincinnati a week after Buffalo just hung 36 on them in their own building. That’s eight games and about three you actually want to watch. The late window is where the board gets honest. Jaguars at Broncos is Denver -2.5 in the altitude. Chargers are laying 6.5 to Las Vegas. Cowboys are 4.5-point favorites over Washington after the Giants walked into MetLife last Sunday night and took their lunch. Seahawks are laying 4.5 in Arizona with Darnold’s status hanging over the whole thing. Then San Francisco is laying 13.5 to Miami because somebody had to be the biggest favorite on the board. Sunday night is the AFC doing AFC things. Colts at Chiefs. Kansas City -6.5. Total around 46.5. Arrowhead. Prime time. Indianapolis coming off a loss in Baltimore. Mahomes at home. No grace period.We give our pick for Colts–Chiefs, our same-game parlay, and two sneaky props to start the Sunday slate. Fourteen games. One night game. The season is actually here.Don’t take a single game for granted because somehow we’re going to blink and it’ll be Week 14.

Best Bets Thursday Night Football: Bills-Lions (Same Game Parlay, First TD Scorer, Player Props)
WE ARE SO BACK. 13 games on a Sunday. Who has it better than us? Lions at Bills. First regular-season game in the new $2.2 billion Highmark Stadium. Prime Video. 8:15. Both teams 1-0 after they refused to play defense in Week 1. Buffalo escaped Houston 36-31. Detroit needed overtime and a failed two-point try to beat New Orleans 31-30. Now they get four days and a short week on the road. Bills are a 4.5-point home favorite. Total sitting at 53.5 like somebody already decided this is going to look like the 48-42 game from 2024. Moneyline Buffalo around -225. Josh Allen just dropped 334 passing yards, two passing scores, two rushing scores, and a 96-yard winner. DJ Moore is in Buffalo now. James Cook is still James Cook. Joe Brady is in Year 1 as head coach and already has a road win in a house that used to haunt this franchise. Detroit is coming in without Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch (both PUP). The offensive line is a short-week problem: Christian Mahogany and Blake Miller have been DNP, Juice Scruggs limited, Cade Mays already on IR. Jahmyr Gibbs just touched the ball 34 times and ran for 156 and two scores. Jared Goff still has Amon-Ra and Jameson. Dan Campbell is asking that group to fly east, play in a brand-new stadium full of people who have been waiting years for this building, and cover 4.5 after overtime. That is the spot. This is the points game of the week because both defenses just gave up 30-plus and neither secondary is whole. Buffalo’s new place opens with fireworks or it opens with a hangover. There is no third option. We give our pick for Bills–Lions, our same-game parlay, and two sneaky props to start the Thursday slate. No more Week 1 film-room cope. No more “it’s only one game.” One night. New stadium. The season is actually loud now. Don’t take a single snap for granted because somehow we’re going to blink and it’ll be December and this building will already feel old.

Best Bets Monday Night Football: Chiefs vs Broncos
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS BACK. And apparently the NFL decided Patrick Mahomes’ first game back should be against the team that stole his division. The Broncos walk into Arrowhead on Monday night as the defending AFC West champs after going 14-3, taking the No. 1 seed, and sweeping Kansas City for the first time since 2014. Denver has now won four of the last five against the Chiefs. Kansas City went 6-11, missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and watched its nine-year run atop the AFC West officially die. Now everybody gets a clean slate. And Patrick Mahomes is back. Nine months after tearing his ACL and LCL, Mahomes has been a full participant in practice and is on track to start under the lights at Arrowhead. Kansas City added Kenneth Walker III, brought L’Jarius Sneed back, and gets Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy into Week 1 as full practice participants. The problem: starting left tackle Josh Simmons hasn’t practiced, meaning an already terrifying Denver pass rush could spend Monday night staring at an inexperienced replacement protecting Mahomes’ blind side. On the other side, Denver basically brought everybody back. Bo Nix returns healthy. Jaylen Waddle makes his Broncos debut. Denver returns 21 of 22 starters from a team that won 14 games, and the defense is coming off a season in which it piled up 68 sacks. Sean Payton is also 3-0 on Monday Night Football since taking over in Denver. 8:15 p.m. ET. ESPN and ABC. Arrowhead. AFC West champs against the team that owned the division for nearly a decade. Mahomes’ comeback against one of the nastiest defenses in football. Bo Nix trying to prove last year wasn’t a one-off. Kansas City is laying about 2.5 with the total sitting around 43.5. One possession. Divisional game. Week 1. We give our pick for Broncos–Chiefs, our same-game parlay, and two sneaky props to close out the first week of the NFL season. No more preseason reports. No more “he looks great in camp.” Patrick Mahomes is back. The Broncos have the crown. And somebody has to leave Arrowhead 0-1. Don’t take Monday Night Football for granted because somehow we’re going to blink and it’ll be Thanksgiving.
