NFL Odds Totals Week 1: Sunday Football Betting

The afternoon NFL week 1 Sunday football games will feature some of the more high profile teams and will offer some of the most intriguing over/under betting opportunities in NFL odds for totals. The main Sunday game on FOX at 4:20pm EST will match-up the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, for a prime example. With Green Bay’s explosive attack and leaky defense the first reaction might be for the game to soar OVER the opening total of 47.5 at online sportsbooks but these two teams have actually gone UNDER the football betting total in 5 out of their last 6 games at Philadelphia. Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams will host the Arizona Cardinals, who cut projected starter Matt Leinart for Derek Anderson at 4:20pm EST on FOX.

The over/under NFL odds total has opened at 39 for the Cardinals vs Rams week 1 match-up while the two teams have gone OVER the total in 5 out of their last 8 games in St. Louis while the last 2 games went UNDER the NFL betting total. Seattle will host San Francisco in another 4:20pm EST on FOX and has an opening NFL odds total of 37. Both of these NFC West rivals are not known for explosive offensive play although that may change in San Francisco this year. The two teams have gone UNDER the NFL total in 2 out of their last 3 meetings in Seattle.

The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins will be looking for an old fashioned NFC East shootout with a NFL total of 40 in week 1 odds but the two have gone UNDER the total in 6 out of their last 9 match-ups in the nation’s capital including 3 straight. The Monday night football double header on ESPN begins at 7:05pm EST as the Jets host the Baltimore Ravens with an opening total of 35.5 in NFL odds. The two defensive powers have gone UNDER in 2 out of their last 3 games at New York. The Chiefs will host the Chargers in the nightcap with an opening NFL total of 45. Just 1 out of their last 4 meetings in KC has gone UNDER.
