NFL Week 1 odds, betting lines, predictions, and picks for spreads announced: Model favors Bengals and Packers for 2025 season starts.

As the NFL season kicks off, predictions are swirling about the upcoming games. One model, called NFL Model 32, has been making waves in the football community, earning over $7,000 for $100 players since its introduction. Let's take a look at some of the key predictions this model has made for Week 1.

Pressure Cooker: Packers vs. Lions

Green Bay's defense, which ranked fourth in turnovers created and seventh in sacks last season, is expected to put pressure on Detroit's offense. The Packers' defense has more sacks and takeaways than Detroit's, and the model predicts a home victory for Green Bay (-1.5, 49.5).

Underdogs to Watch

Three underdog teams are predicted to pull off surprising victories, but the model has kept its cards close to its chest, not revealing which teams these might be.

High-Flying Offenses

After signing Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to extensions this offseason, the Bengals' offense, which was the league's No. 1 passing offense last year, returns intact. The model projects a double-digit victory for Cincinnati (-5.5), which covers well over 50% of the time.

Close Contests Galore

Nearly a dozen games have a line of a field goal or less for Week 1. Among them are the Jets vs. Steelers (-3), 49ers vs. Seahawks (+2.5), Packers vs. Lions (+1.5), and Rams vs. Texans (+2.5).

Titans Face Tough Odds

The Titans are 7.5-point underdogs to the Broncos in Week 1. Cam Ward will make his pro debut for the Titans in this matchup.

Model's Picks Revealed

The model has made predictions for every game on the Week 1 NFL schedule, including some strong picks. One such pick is that the Bengals (-5.5, 46.5) cover the spread on the road versus the Browns. The model's picks for the Bears and Bills games will be found on its website on Monday.

Struggling Cleveland Browns

Cleveland struggled in all facets in 2024, ranking dead-last in scoring, last in third-down offense, committing the second-most turnovers, and having bottom-five rankings in both rushing offense and redzone scoring.

The Model's Success

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. If you're looking for insightful predictions for the Week 1 NFL schedule, be sure to check out the NFL Model 32's picks on its website.
