The Bucs retained every key player of their championship who could have gone elsewhere. Tom Brady was clicking in Bruce Arians’ system by the end of the season and should be in full command of the playbook by now.
Pick: Bucs.
Steelers vs. Bills Odds by MyBookie.ag
| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Steelers | +6½ ( -110 ) | 48½ ( -110 ) | +235 | |
| Buffalo Bills | -6½ ( -110 ) | 48½ ( -110 ) | -290 | |

Jets vs. Panthers Odds by MyBookie.ag
| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York Jets | +5 ( -110 ) | 44½ ( -110 ) | +195 | |
| Carolina Panthers | -5 ( -110 ) | 44½ ( -110 ) | -245 | |
|
||||
The Jets will start out a rookie QB. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold goes against his old teammates. Carolina went just 2-6 at home SU and ATS in 2020.
Pick: Panthers.
Jaguars vs. Texans Odds by MyBookie.ag
| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville Jaguars | -2½ ( -125 ) | 44½ ( -110 ) | -150 | |
| Houston Texans | +2½ ( +105 ) | 44½ ( -110 ) | +130 | |
|
||||
Both teams’ defenses were among the NFL’s worst last season. There’s quite a bit of uncertainty about Deshaun Watson’s situation. The narrow number favoring Jacksonville at NFL gambling sites isn’t too surprising.
Pick: Texans.

| Atlanta Falcons | -3½ ( -105 ) | 48 ( -110 ) | -185 | |
|
||||
A new head coach, the offensive-minded Arthur Smith, should be a much-needed shot in the arm for Matt Ryan and Co.
Pick: Falcons.

| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minnesota Vikings | -3 ( -115 ) | 48 ( -110 ) | -170 | |

The opening spread at NFL gambling sites appears to be a sign of respect for Coach Stefanski’s squad. It’s worth noting the Chiefs lost two games SU at Arrowhead last season.
Pick: Chiefs.

| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Dolphins | +2½ ( -105 ) | 44 ( -110 ) | +130 | |
