NFL betting<\/a> is finally back and it\u2019s time to get the upper hand with our picks right away. Here\u2019s a look at some trends to consider for the Thursday nighter and some of this week\u2019s early games.<\/p>\n

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vikings vs Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n

As much as Brett Favre got rattled in the Superdome during the playoffs last year, the Vikings don\u2019t hate the road environment this week; they\u2019re 6-1-1 against the spread over their last eight games on field turf. In fact, almost all the major sportsbook<\/a> trends point Minnesota\u2019s way this week. The Saints are 2-5 ATS over their last seven at home and 1-6 ATS over their last seven against the NFC. Minnesota is also 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings with New Orleans.<\/p>\n

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12<\/p>\n

Panthers vs Giants<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Panthers are under the radar on that role and sports betting<\/a> sharps may capitalize on that status this season. Carolina is 5-0 ATS over its last five games, 8-0 ATS over its last eight against the NFC and 5-1 ATS over its last six road games. These guys don\u2019t get any respect. Meanwhile, the Giants have lost nine of 11 ATS overall. Two noteworthy head-to-head stats: the OVER is 5-1 over the last six meetings and the road team has beaten the spread in four of the last five meetings.<\/p>\n

Dolphins vs Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dolphins have fared well within their own division of late, going 7-1 over their last eight ATS. But few teams help bettors less than the Dolphins in September. Miami is just 3-12-2 ATS over its last 17 September games. Meanwhile, the Bills are 5-0 in their last five Week 1 matchups. The home team is 5-1-1 ATS over the last seven meetings \u2013 though bettors should remember that Miami often visits Buffalo in the cold months. That won\u2019t be the case this time.<\/p>\n

Falcons vs Steelers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oddsmakers apparently struggle to figure out Atlanta early in seasons. The Falcons are 10-2 ATS over their last 12 games in Week 1. Facing a backup quarterback with no Ben Roethlisberger, can they do it again? The Steelers have struggled to cover at home of late, going 0-3-1 ATS over their last four at Heinz Field.<\/p>\n

Lions vs Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lions are a perennial whipping boy, going 8-20-2 over their last 30 ATS versus the NFC. But their vaunted offense, not to mention the mighty struggles of Chicago\u2019s O-line, could make them a sleeper in Week 1. The Bears have lost four of their last five ATS at home. The underdog is also 15-7 ATS over the last 22 Lions\/Bears games. This sports betting blog<\/a> will watch the line closely on this matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
