- NFL Week 1 betting lines for the matchups between the Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants, and the Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Chargers have the potential to change.
- The Dallas Cowboys are only 3.0-point favorites against the New York Giants, who may be without star running back Saquon Barkley to start the season.
- The Miami Dolphins are 3.0-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Chargers, but if they sign Dalvin Cook, that spread is likely to shorten.
NEW YORK – Betting lines for Week 1 of the 2023-2024 NFL season are available at Bovada Sportsbook, with two games currently holding their best value. The Dallas Cowboys are conservatively only 3.0-point favorites against the New York Giants in their Week 1 matchup.
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants Betting Lines
| Team: | Spread: | Moneyline: | Total: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas Cowboys | -3.0 (-110) | -150 | O47.0 (-110) |
| New York Giants | +3.0 (-110) | +130 | U47.0 (-110) |
The Dallas Cowboys are only 3.0-point favorites despite defeating their NFC East divisional opponents by an average of 7.5 points last season. Dallas only got better in the offseason, adding an offensive weapon in Brandin Cooks, and a defensive weapon in Stephon Gilmore.
Meanwhile, the New York Giants may be without their best player in Saquon Barkley, as they work out a contract negotiation. Saquon Barkley hinted at holding out when asked about his contract situation, telling reporters that sitting out for the season is an option if it comes to that.
Regardless if Saquon plays or not, the Dallas Cowboys should be closer to a touchdown-favorite against the New York Giants. With uncertainty towards Barkley’s availability for Week 1, the Cowboys current odds at football sportsbooks have great value before the line moves in favor of Dallas.
Another great Week 1 matchup at its peak value is between the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, where the Dolphins currently hold +120 moneyline odds as an underdog.
Miami Dolphins At Los Angeles Chargers Betting Lines
| Team: | Spread: | Moneyline: | Total: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Dolphins | +2.5 (-110) | +120 | O49.5 (-110) |
| Los Angeles Chargers | -2.5 (-110) | -140 | U49.5 (-110) |
Betting on the Miami Dolphins to win Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers will soon be less valuable if the Dolphins acquire Dalvin Cook. After the star running back was released by the Minnesota Vikings on June 8, Dalvin Cook odds at -300 suggest that he will join the Miami Dolphins.
Miami was a 3.0-point favorite when they faced the Los Angeles Chargers last season, which resulted in a 6-point Chargers victory. However, the Dolphins have since added Jalen Ramsey and could potentially also add Dalvin Cook, which would likely shorten their Week 1 moneyline odds against the Los Angeles Chargers.
