Here is our NFL parlay Week 1. The NFL season is already underway as the Buffalo Bills blew out the Los Angeles Rams in the season opener. That game looked like a tough bet to make, but that isn’t the case for other games in Week 1.
Putting together an NFL four-team parlay in Week 1 looks like the best betting strategy to use, as there are some great betting opportunities. Here is a look at four of the best games to focus on in Week 1 of the NFL season.
Betting on NFL games isn’t always straight forward but these selections will help you out. We had a very profitable season last year and we are aiming for even better this year.
New Orleans Saints -5.5 at Atlanta Falcons
The first leg of your parlay should feature a pick from a game between AFC South rivals. The Atlanta Falcons host the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, and it’s hard to get a good read on either of these teams.
The Saints are hoping that quarterback Jameis Winston can bounce back in a big way in 2022 and lead that offense. One thing that the Saints do have is a solid defense, and that unit could have a big day in this one.
No one expects the Atlanta Falcons to be a playoff contender this season, but they can be dangerous at home. The Falcons are lacking talent on both sides of the ball, but they always play the Saints tough.
Ultimately it will be the Saints offense that makes enough plays to pull away in this game and covers the 5.5-point spread.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals -6.5
The Cincinnati Bengals begin their AFC North title defense at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is another great rivalry game to kick off the season, and the Steelers would love to pull off an upset.
A lot of people are predicting a letdown for the Bengals in 2022, but they just have so much talent on offense. Joe Burrow is going to have a huge game in this one, and the Steelers will struggle to slow them down.
Pittsburgh is going with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, and he is going to have to show a lot to keep that job. The Steelers can run the football effectively, but they can’t keep up in this game.
Take the Bengals -6.5 as they pull away from the Steelers.
Philadelphia Eagles -4.5 at Detroit Lions
The Philadelphia Eagles begin their 2022 season in Detroit against a Lions team that will be much improved. Philadelphia has the much better offense in this game, while the Lions should be strong on defense.
Jalen Hurts is set to have a big year for the Eagles on offense, and they should be explosive in this game. Philadelphia does have some questions on defense, but that offense can take over this game.
Detroit should be improved on offense but not good enough to win games against playoff contenders. The Lions will keep this one close, but adding the Eagles -4.5 to your NFL parlay is the best move to make.
Cleveland Browns EVEN at Carolina Panthers
One of the most intriguing matchups in Week 1 is a game set to take place between the Cleveland Browns and the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers opened up as 2.5-point favorites, but the line has now moved all the way to even.
This game will feature Baker Mayfield playing quarterback of the Panthers against his former team. Cleveland won’t have Deshaun Watson available in this game as he has been suspended for the first 11 games.
Mayfield will be fired up to play well in this game, but he is facing a great Browns defense in this matchup. Cleveland can also run the football effectively, and that is another reason to believe in the Browns.
This game should be a battle, but taking the Browns to win on the moneyline is the final leg to add to your NFL parlay.
