The Jets had high hopes heading into the 2023 season, but their Super Bowl chances ended abruptly when quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in the first quarter of the opener. He will return when the Jets face the 49ers during the Week 1 NFL schedule. San Francisco is coming off a Super Bowl appearance last season and is a 3.5-point favorite in the Week 1 NFL odds. Which side of that game should you target with your Week 1 NFL score predictions and NFL bets?
Every game on the NFL Vegas odds board in Week 1 features single-digit NFL spreads, with seven of them featuring NFL lines of three points or fewer. Notable season-openers include Chiefs vs. Ravens, Eagles vs. Packers and Browns vs. Cowboys. Before you make any Week 1 NFL picks, be sure to see the exact score predictions from SportsLine expert Eric Cohen.
Cohen, a SportsLine NFL expert and host of the Friday NFL props show on SportsLine’s YouTube page, evaluated the entire Week 1 NFL slate and delivers score predictions and analysis for each matchup. He finished last season on a 39-28 roll on NFL picks and was profitable for bettors. His exact score predictions were a hit on social media last year and he even hit an exact score in the playoffs, Kansas City’s 27-24 upset victory in Buffalo in the AFC Divisional Round. Anyone who followed Cohen’s NFL predictions was profitable. You can only see Cohen’s Week 1 NFL exact score predictions at SportsLine.
Top Week 1 NFL picks
After diving into all 16 games from the NFL’s opening week, Cohen is high on one of those Week 1 home upset picks, the Indianapolis Colts over the Houston Texans, 29-26. Indianapolis is looking forward to having young quarterback Anthony Richardson back on the field this season after his rookie campaign was cut short after just four games. Richardson flashed his potential in limited action, scaring opposing defenses with his dual-threat ability.
He is backed up by a strong rushing attack that is spearheaded by running back Jonathan Taylor, who is playing behind an elite offensive line that returns all five starters. Indianapolis has the tools to control the tempo and the clock, which will keep the ball away from Texans quarterback CJ Stroud and allow the Colts to stay fresh defensively. The Colts have gone 1-9 in Week 1 since 2014, but Cohen expects a different outcome this year. See his other Week 1 football score predictions at SportsLine.
