Moneyline Underdogs for Week 1 NFL Betting. PLUS: Keeping It Simple in NFL Survivor Pools

Week 1 of the NFL is here, which means it's time to lock in for a small handful of official plays.

Thursday Night Football odds for Week 1: Lions at Chiefs (-4.5). With Chris Jones and Travis Kelce both potentially missing the NFL opener, a torrent of action has pushed the line from Chiefs -6.5 to Chiefs -4.5. Should you chase the movement, counter with the Chiefs, or stay away completely? (There's a case for all three.)

This week's official Week 1 NFL bets include the following games:

• Bengals at Browns (+2.5)
• 49ers at Steelers (+2.5)
• Panthers at Falcons (-3.5)
