How’s your NFL Betting? The Dallas Cowboys have locked up star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with a four-year, $136 extension, ending his holdout.
However, quarterback Dak Prescott remains without a deal going into his contract season.
Kirk Cousins has turned that experience into two big contracts now, leaving Washington for Minnesota and then leaving Minnesota for Atlanta.
If Prescott enters the open market in March, he would still count for $40 million against the 2025 salary cap for Dallas.
What will Jerry Jones do? We will see, and we will see if the uncertainty influences the Cowboys’ chemistry.
NFL Betting Analysis: Top Regular Season Games You Should Bet Now
Looking at the sports betting lines for the regular season, there are some imbalances that you can leverage now, so read on to find our top wagers.
Dallas Cowboys (+2.5) at Cleveland Browns (O/U 42.5)
Week 1 | Sunday, September 8, 4:25 pm ET
The Browns might have the best defense in the AFC. They can shut down the run, and their pass rush, led by Myles Garrett, makes it hard for opposing quarterbacks to get comfortable in the pocket.
The Cleveland offense won’t have Nick Chubb carrying the ball for four weeks, but they do have Amari Cooper running routes, and the expectation is that Deshaun Watson is healthy and ready to live up to the reputation for excellence he built in Houston.
I see the Browns’ defense shutting down a Dallas running game that relies on two aging veterans (Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook) who combined for 3.3 yards per carry with New England and the Jets, respectively.
Dallas also has a stout defense, but they are vulnerable up the middle against the run, and their secondary can get torched.
NFL Regular Season Pick: Cleveland to win and cover.
^NFL Betting N.Y. Jets (+3.5) at San Francisco 49ers (O/U 43.5)
Week 1 | Monday Night Football, September 9, 8:15 pm ET
Aaron Rodgers is set to return to play for the Jets after spending almost all the 2023 campaign rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon.
He has tailback Breece Hall ready to pound the ball on the ground, and he has quality targets at wide receiver.
The Jets’ defense will rival the Bills’ for primacy in the AFC East this year.
However, the San Francisco 49ers have some frustrations to work out after making it to the Super Bowl only to see the Kansas City Chiefs come back and swipe the championship away from them in overtime.
Now that the 49ers have locked down star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk with a contract extension, the last distraction is off the radar, so the team can get down to business.
Playing at home in prime time, the 49ers should open with an emphatic message.
NFL Regular Season Pick: 49ers to win and cover.
^NFL Betting Buffalo Bills (+1) at Miami Dolphins (O/U 50.5)
Week 2 | Thursday Night Football, September 12, 8:15 pm ET
The Buffalo Bills have gone through a lot of turnover on both sides of the ball in the off-season.
They still have Von Miller in the pass rush, and Josh Allen is still at quarterback, but new talent at tailback and wide receiver will make the team much different.
The Dolphins just extended coach Mike McDaniel, and the offense returns Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
In the early going, the Bills may struggle to get consistent secondary play after losing some veterans, including Tre’Davious White, and the Dolphins should be able to take advantage of that.
Josh Allen has an extremely high ceiling in terms of production, but his propensity for the untimely turnover increased last season. Can he manage ball security more effectively?
NFL Regular Season Pick: Miami to win and cover.
