NFL odds: Week 1 parlays featuring favorites, underdogs include Eagles-Commanders, Broncos-Chiefs

The NFL campaign opened on Wednesday with the Seattle Seahawks securing a narrow 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots. Slate action accelerates on Sunday with 13 matchups, leading into a Monday night clash pairing the Denver Broncos against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Analyst Mike Tierney has highlighted that Monday contest among his three-team moneyline selections for the opening week, arranging two different tickets that split between high-confidence chalk and all-underdog combinations. Tierney, who has attended seven Super Bowls over decades of league reporting, brings a four-year NFL mark of 320-271-16 (worth $1,867 for $100 bettors) and a 130-101 record against the spread over the previous two seasons.

His recommended slate of favorites includes backing head coach Ben Johnson's Chicago Bears against the Carolina Panthers, using peak values drawn across six tracked sportsbooks.
