NFL Predictions Week 1: Odds, Picks and Projections for Opening Schedule

There are few experiences more exhilarating than following your bets on the first Sunday of the National Football League season.

A bettor's fortune could change fast on Sunday afternoon, but if the right bets are made, you'll look like a genius, at least for one week.

Week 1's slate of games features a handful of heavy favorites, and four road teams with positive odds, but the real money will be made on the close lines.

Eight of the 16 contests played from Thursday to Monday possess favorites of three points or less, while three teams are favored by more than one touchdown.
