The NFL betting season has begun.

Week 1 is loaded - even beyond the season-opener on Thursday and Game 2 Friday in Brazil. 

The national game of the week on FOX (CBS doesn't have a doubleheader this week) serves as the debut of Tom Brady in the broadcast booth as the network's senior NFL analyst. 

While bettors in the U.S. won't be able to legally bet on what Brady does in the booth, his game offers plenty of wagering opportunities.

NFL odds have the Browns priced at a slight discount as 2.5-point favorites at home. The total is down th 41 after opening at 43.

Best Divisional Round Player Props To Back

Best NFL Prop Bets To Back Today: Week 1 1

Here are our best Divisional Round player prop bets to back on sports betting apps today.

PlayerWagerOdds
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Under 246.5 Passing Yards -115 at DraftKings
Browns TE David Njoku Over 4.5 Receptions +108 at FanDuel
Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett Over 202.5 Passing Yards -114 at FanDuel
Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Over 57.5 Receiving Yards -115 at DraftKings
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers Under 235.5 Passing Yards -114 at FanDuel

The betting odds might have changed since the time of publication. For the most updated odds, please check the betting apps.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott: Under 246.5 Passing Yards 

Odds: -115 at DraftKings

Best Bet: There are few forces at play hear pushing us in this direction. The Browns defense is stout at home. Dak Prescott's numbers of the road are bit lacking. The track is slow, nothing like the turf at Jerry World. Offenses traditionally take time to gel early in the season. Especially on the road. The Browns play the pass tightly, especially at home, where they allowed just 4.0 yards per attempt last season. Opposing QBs had the lowest completion attempt ratio against the Browns in the league in 2023.

Browns TE David Njoku: Over 4.5 Receptions 

Odds: +108 at FanDuel

Best Bet: In addition to the price on this over, the Browns will be leaning on Deshaun Watson to both run with and throw the ball often Sunday. TE David Njoku offers a steady and secure target. The Browns ran the most plays per game last season (63.8 PG) and that means lots of touches for everyone. Njoku enjoyed a 22.2% target rate last year. Njoku can carry a heavy load and he'll get the chance in Week 1. 

Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett: Over 202.5 Passing Yards

Odds: -114 at FanDuel

Best Bet: Each year, Week 1 offers up a few upsets. This will be one, at least in terms the Patriots being able to move the ball. QB Jacoby Brissett got plenty of reps in training camp this season. He didn't win the starting job as much as kept it away from rookie QB Drake Maye. But he surprisingly was voted a captain by his teammates. The Bengals secondary yielded 7.6 yards per attempt last season, most in the NFL. The Patriots WR core has some base talent and if they are behind late, as many expect, Brissett could surge late to hit this number. 

Best NFL Prop Bets To Back Today: Week 1 2

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin: Over 57.5 Receiving Yards

Odds: -115 at DraftKings

Best Bet: Tampa Bay brought the band back together this offseason, keeping QB Baker Mayfield, WR Mike Evans, and WR Chris Godwin in the fold. These three have a full year together. The Buccaneers face a rebuilding Washington Commanders defense, who ranked last in the NFL in passing allowed last season at 262.2 YPG. Evans draws the most attention, which will open up touches for Godwin and the Buccaneers. Godwin averaged 60.2 YPG receiving last season. Those numbers should hold this week at home. 

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers: Under 235.5 Passing Yards

Odds: -114 at FanDuel

Best Bet: As much as we like the Jets to cover the 4.5 points in this game, they'll keep it close with ball-control and making sure Aaron Rodgers gets rid of the ball quickly. Rodgers enters the 2024-25 season as the oldest player in the NFL for the second straight season. He yards-passing-per-game total in 2022 (his last full season) is 18.1 yards below this number. And he's facing what could be the best defense in the NFC on the road on a Monday night.
