Planet Sport has picked out four top tips for week one of the 2023-24 NFL season with a focus on betting the underdog.

NFL week one betting tips

Cleveland Browns +2.5

New York Giants +3.5

Pittsburgh Steelers +2

Miami Dolphins +3.5

 

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns

How healthy is Joe Burrow? Not 100%, we know that. The Browns have lots of weapons, particularly Nick Chubb, to hurt Cincinnati and a very capable pash rush that could expose any lingering weakness.

San Francisco 49ers @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are pretty good at being the underdog. They’re 49-28 ATS as an underdog since Mike Tomlin took charge, which includes a 25-11-2ATS run over the past five seasons.

Miami Dolphins @ Los Angeles Chargers

With a healthy Tua Tagovailoa, a dangerous run game and an improved defensive situation thanks to new co-ordinator Vic Fangio, this is a more complete Dolphins team.

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants

The Giants' running game could trouble the Cowboy’s 20th-ranked run defence. Giants are 5-1 ATS in the last six games overall and 5-2 ATS in the previous seven home games.
