Moneyline Underdogs for Week 1 NFL Betting. PLUS: Keeping It Simple in NFL Survivor Pools

Week 1 of the NFL is here, which means it's time to lock in for a small handful of official plays.

Thursday Night Football odds for Week 1: Lions at Chiefs (-4.5). With Chris Jones and Travis Kelce both potentially missing the NFL opener, a torrent of action has pushed the line from Chiefs -6.5 to Chiefs -4.5. Should you chase the movement, counter with the Chiefs, or stay away completely? (There's a case for all three.)

This week's official Week 1 NFL bets include the following games:

Bengals at Browns (+2.5)
49ers at Steelers (+2.5)
Panthers at Falcons (-3.5)

Other leans and notes from this episode include the following games:

Cowboys at Giants (+3)
Raiders at Broncos (-3.5)
Eagles at Patriots (+4.5)
Jaguars at Colts (+5)
Cardinals at Commanders (+7)

NFL Week 1 Survivor Pick: Baltimore Ravens (-500)
