2021 NFL Week 1 Odds Reveal Quarterback Question Marks
Despite not knowing the playing statuses of Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers, the oddsmakers have set a spread for every Week 1 game after the schedule was released this morning.
The most interesting line comes from an AFC South matchup where the Jaguars are 1.5-point road favorites at Houston. This number suggests that the books don’t think Watson will be under center to start the season. The Texans would be small favorites if he weren’t a question mark.
The Packers-Saints spread is somewhere in between assuming Rodgers’ status. If he was committed and ready to go, the Packers would be 1.5- to 2-point underdogs. The bookie is playing it safe here.
