NFL Betting Analysis 2025 Week 1 Sunday Late Games
Gambling911.com looks at potential value in NFL betting lines and totals based on a number of factors for games played Sunday September 7, 2025 (late games).
Sunday September 7 (Late)
Betting Volume Saturday Evening (Kalshi) - As of Sunday AM
Titans vs. Broncos - $801,000
This one featured a line of Denver -9 with greater than 83% of the spread action on Denver early.
Texans vs. Rams - $779,000
Lions vs. Packers - $776,000
This one dropped from Green Bay -2.5 to -1 with greater than 65% of the spread action on Detroit.
The -1 number is more accurate and exactly what we get whereas the -2.5 presented us with a bit of an overlay.
Our model has accurate lines in the 2.5/3 range seeing the favorite win at a 70% clip, however, the model doesn't really account for the -1 line that has been dominant throughout the week.
49ers vs. Seahawks - $675,000
The line on this game came in at 49ers -1.
Ravens vs. Bills - $558,000
This game will see much heavier action as we inch closer to the starting time.
The steady line had Baltimore as a -1 point favorite.
Sunday September 7 (Early)
Betting Volume Saturday Evening (Kalshi)
Dolphins vs. Colts - $1 million
Indianapolis has been a -1.5 favorite with that number dropping to a PICK'EM by Saturday evening. 78% of the backing was on Miami in this game even at even odds.
Cardinals vs. Saints - $891,000
Action was greater than 88 percent on Arizona as a -6.5 favorite. The number has not moved all week.
Steelers vs. Jets - $688,000
The Steelers line has sat at -2.5 all week with lopsided action coming their way. This number we've determined to be on the money, which bodes well for Pittsburgh as our model has the favorite going 70% with an accurate number that sits just below the 3.
From Winners and Whiners:
The Steelers will come into this game with swagger. Their starting quarterback will look for revenge of his old team in the Jets. The Steelers have always found ways to win close games, especially with head coach Mike Tomlin leading the way. Last season, the Steelers were 5-3 against the spread as favorites. They may not have the most dynamic offense, especially if Rogers cannot throw the ball deep this season, but they do return one of the top defenses led by T.J. Watt. Pittsburgh’s defense will be able to shut down a revamped Jets offense with new quarterback Justin Fields and a new head coach. There are too many new things happening with the Jets for them to contend against a Steelers team that is the epitome of consistency over the course of the past decade. In a super low scoring game, I’m taking the Steelers thanks to defensive turnovers and strong special teams play.
Bengals vs. Browns - $595,000
Cincinnati is a -5 point favorite against Cleveland.
Giants vs. Commanders - $469,000
Washington comes into this game as a -6 point favorite vs. the Giants.
Buccaneers vs. Falcons $456,000
The Falcons come into this game as a -1 point favorite.
Atlanta is a top capper consensus play on this day.
Raiders vs. Patriots - $332,000
The line on this one moved from New England -3 to -2.5.
This number appears to be accurate.
Our model has the favorite going 70% with an accurate number that sits just below the 3.
Panthers vs. Jaguars - $256,000
The number here moved from Jaguars -2.5 to -3.5 over the course of this week.
Friday September 5
The Chiefs-Chargers game will be played in Brazil and, as such, will not incorporate any home field advantage.
Our number here comes out to 5.44 or Chiefs -5.5.
The action number was listed at Chiefs -3.
Our model sampling has a limited number of flat/steady 3-point lines (this one hasn't moved in weeks) where there is an underlay and the favorite has covered in each of these (9-0).
As with most lines where the number comes in at 3 with little to no movement, action is steady.
The Chiefs have won the last seven in this series while either failing to cover or pushing in three of those using the current spread. Another went into OT but KC ultimately covered with a six-point victory.
It would be a disservice not to back Kansas City here at -3.
Thursday September 4
This one could get real ugly real fast if the initial power ratings hold up.
We detect an underlay of as much as 7 points.
Interestingly, our model sampling has the underdog going 10-4 where there is an underlay or a line on the money with the number 7 to 7.5.
This underlay is a little too large for our comfort zone.
Winners and Whiners had this to offer:
Divisional games are usually entertaining and tend to be a bit chippy. This one is likely to be no different, especially after the Eagles won both meetings last season by a combined 75-13 margin. Dallas is trying to rebuild on the fly and fixing a defense that was second-worst in the league in scoring defense is going to be a challenge after dealing Parsons away. The Cowboys couldn’t slow the Eagles a season ago and with question marks on both sides of the ball, it’s tough to like their chances here. Look for Philadelphia to take care of business and roll to a victory here, starting their title defense off on the right foot.
It's tempting to fade the big public favorite here, the Eagles, but we have more reason to worry about Dallas, per The Action Network:
Jalen Hurts now has his full arsenal of weapons healthy. A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert were on the field together for only 18% of Hurts' dropbacks last season.
Factor in Saquon Barkley, who posted 2,005 rushing yards in his first year with the team — running behind one of the best offensive lines in football — and this attack is as dangerous as it gets. The “tush push” wasn’t banned either, which means Philadelphia still has the league’s most unstoppable short-yardage play.
The real storyline is obvious: the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers.
Our model likes Dallas but doesn't necessarily take into account significant underlays like what we have here, nor is this one of the most convincing model outputs.
Oddsmakers have reacted to the action coming in on Philadelphia by moving the line off the 7 to 8.5.
Most of the top handicappers we are on are backing the Eagles here.
