SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

Colts vs Texans

With two of the league’s elite passing offenses going head to head, sports betting sharps shouldn’t be surprised to learn that the OVER is 9-1 over the last 10 meetings between these AFC South rivals. The Colts are strong within the division, going 4-1 ATS over their last five in the South, whereas the Texans are just 1-4 ATS over their last five divisional matchups.

Browns vs Buccaneers

Who will cover the spread in the Toilet Bowl? On paper, the Browns look like an amazing play; they’ve beaten seven straight spreads. But bettors should remember that the streak is a product of their improbable late-season run. Cleveland is still 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 Week 1 games. Tampa seems to crumble at home, going 1-10 ATS over its last 11 games there.

Bengals vs Patriots

Could this be the week’s first sportsbook upset? While Cincinnati is 1-7 ATS over its last eight, it tends to surprise early, going 11-5 ATS in its last 16 September games. The road team has also beaten the spread in four of the last five Bengals/Patriots meetings.

Raiders vs Titans

While the Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last six against Tennessee, they’re slow starters, beating the spread just once in their last five Week 1 games. Tennessee is the stronger early-season betting play, going 9-2 over its last 11 September games, but it enters the matchup having lost five of six against the spread. Maybe the OVER is the better play; it’s 5-1 in Oakland’s last six in Week 1 and 4-1 in Tennessee’s last five at home.

Broncos vs Jaguars

Could bettors win some cash on Denver here? The Broncos are 7-3 ATS over their last 10 in Week 1 – remember the wild finish to open the season against Cincy last year? The underdog has also beaten the spread five straight times in this rivalry history. The Jags are ugly bets at home, losing 13 of 16 ATS. Will Denver put some points up? Its last five games have gone OVER the total.
