Week 2: Washington Commanders at Green Bay Packers (-1.5, 48.5) - Prime Video
This game features two up-and-coming QBs, Jordan Love and Jayden Daniels, squaring off at Lambeau Field. The Commanders are looking to step up their game and make a statement in Green Bay. The Packers had a solid 2024 season, going 6-3 straight-up and 5-4 against the spread at home.
Week 3: Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-8.5, 48.5) - Prime Video
A fierce AFC East showdown! The Dolphins are looking to end their frustrating winless streak against the Bills in Buffalo, where they haven't won since 2016. However, Miami has covered in three of its last four trips to Buffalo and Tua Tagovailoa can relax knowing he won't have to deal with the freezing cold[4].
Week 4: Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals (-2.5, 46.5) - Prime Video
The Seahawks have dominated this series, winning seven straight games and covering in six of them. The Seahawks even defeated the Cardinals by 10 points in their desert trip last year. We'll have to wait and see if Sam Darnold can continue the momentum in the Seahawks quarterback position.
Week 5: San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams (-1.5, 47.5) - Prime Video
San Francisco has struggled against the Rams lately, losing the last three games and failing to cover in four straight. With improved rosters on both sides, this game promises to be a nail-biting affair[5].
Week 6: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants - Prime Video
The Giants will need to win at least one home game against an unlikely opponent if they want to surpass their win total of 5.5. But beating the Eagles, who are 7-2 straight up and 5-3 against the spread in their last eight games against New York, seems like a tall order[6].
Week 7: Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5, 46.5) - Prime Video
The Bengals struggled at home in 2024, going 3-5 both straight-up and against the spread. One of their losses came against the Steelers, who won a shootout (44-38) against Cincinnati on December 1st. The Steelers have now won and covered in three straight road games against the Bengals[7].
Week 8: Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers (-3, 44.5) - Prime Video
The Chargers should continue improving under Jim Harbaugh, but they'll face tough competition in Minnesota, which boasts a stronger defense and a more talented offense[8].
Week 9: Baltimore Ravens (-5.5, 47.5) at Miami Dolphins - Prime Video
Lamar Jackson always loves a night game, and this one could be a barn-burner. The Dolphins' defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver, was previously an assistant head coach and defensive line coach for the Ravens. Will he have a plan to slow down the Baltimore offense, or can Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken torch his former colleague's defense[9]?
Week 10: Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos (-6.5, 43.5) - Prime Video
The Broncos obliterated the Raiders twice in 2024, winning 34-18 at home on October 6th and 29-19 in Vegas on November 24th. The Raiders may have a slightly better team with Pete Carroll on the sidelines and Geno Smith at quarterback, but the Broncos should continue to improve now that they're deeper into Sean Payton's offense[10].
Week 11: New York Jets at New England Patriots (-5.5, 42.5) - Prime Video
The Jets broke their 12-game road losing streak against the Patriots with a win on January 7th, 2024, but New England rebounded with a 25-22 home win against the Jets last year. The 2025 game should be a fun one, as we're unsure of either team's capabilities[11].
Week 12: Buffalo Bills (-3.5, 46.5) at Houston Texans - Prime Video
The Texans upset the Bills last year, winning 23-20 as 1-point home favorites on a game-winning 59-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn. The Bills, with Josh Allen seeking revenge, should take the win this time around[12].
Week 13: Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles (Black Friday) - Prime Video
This is one of the most exciting games of the year, pitting Ben Johnson's Bears against the defending Super Bowl champions. The Eagles, armed with Jalen Hurts, will face off against a retooled Bears team, with Caleb Williams expected to make big strides in Johnson's offense[13].
Week 14: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions (-6, 48.5) - Prime Video
The Cowboys will be out for revenge after losing to the Lions by 38 points in their home game last season. However, the Lions remain the more talented team, making another blowout victory difficult for Dallas, despite Johnson leaving the Lions for the Bears[14].
Week 15: Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-5.5, 47.5) - Prime Video
The Falcons are trying to end the Buccaneers' four-year reign as NFC South champions. Michael Penix Jr.'s Atlanta offense will face a tough task against Baker Mayfield and a high-powered Tampa offense[15].
Week 16: Los Angeles Rams (-1.5, 44.5) at Seattle Seahawks - Prime Video
The Rams have covered in eight of their last nine games against the Seahawks, winning six of those nine contests. However, the Seahawks are seeking significant improvement under Mike Macdonald, despite shaking up their offense[16].
Week 17: Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5, 44.5) (Christmas) - Prime Video
The Broncos shocked the Chiefs with a 38-0 win in Denver last season, resting Kansas City's starters. In their other contest, the Broncos almost defeated the Chiefs, losing 16-14 when the game-winning field goal was blocked. This year's matchup should be intriguing[17].
