It all kicks off on Thursday, September 4th, when the Dallas Cowboys (+8.5) hit the road to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (-8.5).
Then the Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) and Los Angeles Chargers (+3.5) are heading to Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the league's first international game of the season on Friday, September 5th (read here for the full international schedule).
Sunday night will be a rematch of last year's AFC Divisional Round as the Baltimore Ravens (+1.5) head north to take on the Buffalo Bills (-1.5). The last time these two teams met, Baltimore lost after failing to convert a crucial two-point conversion. But it's a new season and nobody knows who will come out on top.
Monday night will see an NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings (-1.5) and the Chicago Bears (+1.5). Minnesota won both matchups against Chicago last season and have taken eight of the last 10 matchups dating back to 2020. It's also worth noting that the Bears lost every home game in that span - but will that stop our experts from picking them this season?
