On the whole the NFL week one schedule is so attractive that some strong matchups can get lost in the shuffle. Today we are going to take a look at some of the best Pro football betting pairings in the opening week. These are games that may not make the main marquee. Yet they are matchups that offer the combination of contenders and betting angles. If ever there was a 2020 season that demands a strong start this is it!

Last year quarterback Russell Wilson powered the Seahawks offense to a wild card playoff berth. Seattle’s NFC divisional playoff loss at Green Bay exposed its subpar defense. More emphatically it was discovered that Wilson can’t alone carry Seattle to Super Sunday.
In like manner, Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was not enough for 2019. Head coach Dan Quinn barely escaped the firing squad. He was saved by a strong finish that featured Online betting success. However, another slow start by the Falcons will doom Quinn for good. Atlanta’s defense was among the worst in the NFL last year. Have the Falcons improved enough for a big leap forward?
New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills
Date and Time: | Sunday, September 13, 2020, 1 p.m. ET |
Location: | New Era Field, Buffalo, New York |
Jets vs. Bills TV Coverage: | CBS |

Fashion that the Bills are coming off a rare playoff season. Buffalo sees an AFC East opening now that Tom Brady has left the Patriots. Quarterback Josh Allen lacked a good supporting cast in 2019. Defense carried the team. Accordingly, the arrival of wide receiver Stefon Diggs may lighten Allen’s load.
New York remains damaged goods in the eyes of the public. Namely head coach Adam Gase arrived in 2019 with damaged credibility. He has done little to change that.
Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens
Date and Time: | Sunday, September 13, 2020, 1 p.m. ET |
Location: | M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland |

Since 2004 the Browns have had a total of ten head coaches. Now patrolling Cleveland’s sideline is rookie Kevin Stefanski. Problematic is the common denominator. Owner Jimmy Haslam has been the one constant through all the failures. Correlate the major setback season of quarterback Baker Mayfield. Stefanski’s first priority is to get Mayfield’s mind right.
Baltimore is a top Pro football betting favorite to win the AFC. Last year the Ravens were the top seed in the AFC playoffs. But against the upstart Tennessee Titans, they were rendered helpless. Cause by this failure is the question of if it was a one-off or portent of things to come. 2019 NFL’s most valuable player Lamar Jackson is likely to keep Baltimore on the plus side. Additionally, it is the fact that the Ravens had the top-ranked 2020 NFL Draft.
Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions
Date and Time: | Sunday, September 13, 2020, 1 p.m. ET |
Location: | Ford Field, Detroit Michigan |
Bears vs. Lions TV Coverage: | FOX |

Lions | -2.5 | 43.5 | – | |

Account of two abysmal seasons did many expect Lions head coach Matt Patricia to face the firing squad. Yet Patricia survived. Detroit will begin its coach’s win or else season against Chicago.
Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky suffered a bad setback season. As a result, head coach Matt Nagy will give Nick Foles a shot at taking the job. Philadelphia’s Super Bowl hero will try and restart his career after missing 2019 on the Jacksonville injured list. Commencing with a nasty defense do the Bears bring potential value.
