NFL Week 1 Betting Odds, Trends: Regular Season Will Start With Record 10 Home Underdogs

The NFL kicks off Week 1 with 16 games to open up the 2022 regular season.

The defending champion Los Angeles Rams start it off listed as a 2.5-point home underdog against the Super Bowl-favorite Buffalo Bills, and it bookends with Russell Wilson returning back to Seattle with the Denver Broncos, who are 5-point road favorites in the Pacific Northwest.

When analyzing the full Week 1 schedule and lines, the first thing that pops out is the fact that 10 of the 16 home teams are listed as underdogs.

If Week 1 kicks off with 10 home underdogs, it would be the most such games in an opening week since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule in 1978.

  • Bills at Rams (+2.5)
  • Ravens at Jets (+7)
  • Saints at Falcons (+5)
  • 49ers at Bears (+6.5)
