NFL Week 1 betting picks, odds: Derrick Henry anytime touchdown (-125 or better)

Derrick Henry has a knack for finding the endzone. Since entering the league in 2016, Henry’s 78 rushing touchdowns are the most in the NFL. Trailing distantly in second is Ezekiel Elliott with 68 touchdowns.

Despite being 29 years old and going into his eighth NFL season, King Henry isn’t slowing down. In 2022, Henry had the third-most rushing yards and touchdowns of his career.

Plus, the New Orleans Saints were one of the NFL’s worst rushing defenses last year, surrendering 130 yards per game. Expect Henry to start 2023 with a bang, scoring in the Titans Week 1 matchup vs. New Orleans.

NFL Week 1 betting picks, odds: Jalen Hurts to throw no interceptions (-140 or better)

In 2022, Jalen Hurts set career highs in passing attempts, passing yards, and touchdown throws. Despite a massive increase in usage, Hurts managed to limit his interception total to six, tied for the second-fewest among QBs that played 15 or more games.

Hurts is set up extremely well in Philadelphia’s offense. The Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the league, clearing lanes for Philly’s ball carriers to bust big runs, which opens things up for Hurts in the passing game.

Philadelphia also boasts the NFL’s top pass-catching group, led by A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert. It was rare for Hurts to force passes into tight windows last season, thanks to the separation each player created.

The Eagles offense is running it back with mostly the same players from last year, meaning a similar season with few interceptions is the expectation for the 2022 MVP runner-up.

NFL Week 1 betting picks, odds: Bryce Young over 225 passing yards (+150 or better)

The Atlanta Falcons had one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL in 2022, allowing 231 yards per game through the air.

While Atlanta struggled to limit opposing QBs, Bryce Young was one of the most dominant passers in college football, throwing for 8,200 total yards in 2021 and 2022.

Young isn’t working with a top-end receiving core, but veterans Adam Thielen, D.J. Chark, and Hayden Hurst will suffice as the 22-year-old learns the ropes. Young’s WR3 is former Ole Miss Rebel Jonathan Mingo, who tallied 861 yards in 2022, the seventh-most in the SEC.
