It’s finally here - the first big NFL newsletter of the season! I have dabbled in some NFL futures, previewed Week 1, and dropped some bets for last night’s game, but in today’s newsletter, I will feature my top bets ATS (against the spread), game totals, player props, teasers, and parlays!

There are some great promos being offered by all the sportsbooks this weekend. I do the majority of my betting on the FanDuel and DraftKings Sportsbooks, so I am using a lot of those boosts and specials, but I would encourage you to make sure you check all the books in which you have an account to see what kind of specials they are running.

DK offered Amon Ra St. Brown over 15 yards receiving in the first quarter at +150 last night, so I hit that for a max bet of $25 and was pumped to see it cash.

If you haven’t already hit the other boosts they’ve offered, I think they are worth it. There is Fields OR Hurts to score a rushing TD at +100 (max bet $25) and Chase AND Jefferson to both have 50+ receiving yards at +100 (max bet $25).

These are bets the books now they are likely to lose, but they WANT you to win so that you continue to bet with your winnings with them the rest of the season. Take advantage of the “not totally free, but pretty close” money in Week 1, and then let’s see if we can keep building that bankroll with it for the rest of the season.
