First look: Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams odds and lines, LA is big home favorite

Looking at Sunday Night Football’s Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams Week 1 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams will kick off their seasons at SoFi Stadium this week, squaring off on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff in Inglewood, Calif., will be at 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bears vs. Rams odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears open the season on the road against a team that could contend for a Super Bowl in the same building come February. After an 8-8 season in 2020, the Bears have two new quarterbacks in Andy Dalton and rookie Justin Fields, though it’ll be the former starting against Los Angeles.

The defense still boasts OLB Khalil Mack, DT Akiem Hicks and LB Roquan Smith, but it’s the offense that faces several questions.

The Rams also have a new quarterback in Matthew Stafford, who came over in a trade with the Detroit Lions. RB Cam Akers is out for the year, which has RB Darrell Henderson Jr. taking over as the lead back alongside RB Sony Michel. On defense, it all starts with All-Pro DT Aaron Donald and CB Jalen Ramsey.

Bears at Rams head-to-head

The Rams and Bears have squared off three times since 2018 and not one of those matchups was particularly close. In 2018, the Bears stunned the Rams 15-6 in Chicago, which was one of the worst games of head coach Sean McVay’s tenure in Los Angeles.

The following two years, the Rams avenged that loss with two double-digit victories over Chicago. They won 17-7 in 2019 and 24-10 last season, both of which were at home for Los Angeles. The winner covered the spread each time and the Under connected in all three games.

All-time, the Bears are 54-38-3 against the Rams, including a recent stretch of 6-3 in the last nine meetings.

First look: Minnesota Vikings at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, Vikes road faves in interconference battle

Looking at Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings at Cincinnati Bengals Week 1 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Minnesota Vikings visit the Cincinnati Bengals in their regular-season opener Sunday. Kickoff at Paul Brown Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Vikings vs. Bengals odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The Vikings suffered a key injury during the preseason, as promising young TE Irv Smith Jr. sustained a knee injury and is out indefinitely. Former New York Jets TE Chris Herndon will try to fill Smith’s shoes.

The Bengals are ready to welcome back QB Joe Burrow after a season-ending knee injury ended his rookie campaign prematurely. He made only a cameo in the third and final preseason game, but indications are that all systems are a go for the opener.

First look: New York Jets at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, Panthers, Darnold favored

Looking at Sunday’s New York Jets at Carolina Panthers Week 1 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The New York Jets visit the Carolina Panthers in their regular-season opener Sunday. Kickoff at Bank of America Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Jets at Panthers odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The visitors call on an old friend as they meet former Jets QB Sam Darnold in Week 1. New York traded the former USC quarterback to Carolina in the offseason for three draft picks. The Jets finished the preseason 3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS and recorded a 2-1 O/U mark.

The Panthers look to get off on the right foot with Darnold as they hope their new quarterback and another former Jet, WR Robby Anderson, can rekindle their tremendous relationship as the regular season begins. Carolina wrapped up its preseason 1-2 SU, 1-1-1 ATS and with a 2-1 O/U record.

First look: Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons odds and lines, hosts favored in Week 1

Looking at Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons Week 1 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Atlanta Falcons in their regular-season opener Sunday. Kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Falcons odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The Eagles really struggled during the preseason, although they looked a little better in a 31-31 tie against the New York Jets in the final game to quell some of the fears of their fanbase. Philadelphia appears to be especially deep at the running back position.

The Falcons begin the post-Julio Jones era in Week 1. They might have traded the prolific wideout to the Tennessee Titans in the offseason, but the cupboard is anything but bare. They drafted TE Kyle Pitts in the first round, and he joins WR Calvin Ridley to give QB Matt Ryan a couple of top-notch targets.

First look: Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, Defending champs open as heavy favorites

Looking at Thursday’s Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 1 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Dallas Cowboys visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the regular-season opener Thursday. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Cowboys at Buccaneers odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The big question for the Cowboys heading into the 2021 regular season is how healthy QB Dak Prescott is after a gruesome lower-leg injury ended his 2020 campaign prematurely. The Dallas offense could be quite prolific if he is back to his pre-injury form. Dallas finished the pre-season 0-4 SU/ATS with a 1-3 O/U mark.

The defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers have all 11 starters back on offense. Tampa Bay was the league’s second-best passing team with 289.1 yards per game in 2020 and they were seventh in total offense with 384.1 yards per game. The Bucs finished the pre-season 1-2 SU/ATS and with a 2-1 O/U mark.
