ASA’s NFL Free bet – UNDER 16.5 Titans TEAM TOTAL vs. Broncos, 4:05pm ET
We don’t see the Tennessee Titans exceeding 16.5 points against the Denver Broncos in their Week 1 matchup.
Denver’s defense, which led the NFL with a franchise-record 63 sacks in 2024, is a nightmare for Tennessee’s shaky offensive line.
Rookie QB Cam Ward, making his NFL debut, faces a brutal test against a unit that ranked 3rd in scoring defense allowing 19.0 points per game, top 10 in nearly every passing defense category and were near impossible to run on allowing 4.0 yards per rush (2nd).
On average it took teams 17.1 yards gained to scored 1-point which was 2nd best in the NFL last season. Denver also had the best red zone defense allowing opponents to score a TD on just 44.44% of their attempts.
The Broncos also allowed the second-fewest yards per play (5.0) last season, stifling offenses in all facets.
Tennessee (Cam Ward) will be better offensively as the season progresses but to start it’s going to look like the offense that average just 18.2ppg a year ago (26th).
Denver’s home-field advantage and aggressive blitz scheme is going to make it extremely tough for the Titans to get to 17-points. Bet the Titans team total under 16.5.

#324 ASA Free CFB PLAY ON Texas -36.5 over San Jose State, Saturday at 12 PM ET
The Spartans could be in for a long day in Austin on Saturday. Texas lost 14-7 @ Ohio State last week but they outplayed the Bucks on the field with a +133 total yard advantage.
They also dominated the Buckeyes on the ground averaging 4.5 YPC to just 2.3 YPC for OSU. The Longhorn defense was stellar limiting Ohio State to just 203 total yards on 3.7 YPP on the road.
San Jose State lost at home 16-14 last weekend vs a Central Michigan team that was traveling across the country with entirely new systems on both sides of the ball. How is this SJSU offense going to put up points on the road vs one of the best defenses in the country, and with extra motivation coming off a loss?
Defensively, the Spartans allowed the brand new CMU offense to average 5.7 YPP and put up 247 yards on the ground last week. Now they face an angry offense that is ready to blow someone’s doors off after last week.
While only scoring 7 points last week, Texas did put up 336 total yards and 170 yards rushing on one of the best defenses in the country. Huge step down here taking on SJSU’s stop unit.
The Longhorns similar type opponent non-conference home games last year vs Colorado State, UTSA, and UL Monroe, they outscored those 3 opponents 159-10!
After hearing all week how they blew last week’s game vs OSU, they’ll want to run this one up and get QB Manning rolling with confidence. Texas has UTEP on deck so no lookahead for them. Lay it.

ASA Breaks down NFL Player Prop bets on the AFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs game, Friday September 5t. Hook these three into 2-team player prop parlays on your fantasy betting sites. Watch for more winning NFL player prop bets weekly.
LA CHARGERS vs KANSAS CITY CHIEFS – PLAYER PROP BETS
1. Isiah Pacheco (Chiefs) – OVER 9.5 Receiving Yards Pacheco, Kansas City’s dynamic RB, is a solid bet to exceed 9.5 receiving yards. In 2024, he averaged 15.2 receiving yards per game, catching 37 passes for 259 yards across 17 games. With Rashee Rice suspended for six games, the Chiefs will lean on Pacheco’s versatility in the passing game, especially on check-downs and screens. Patrick Mahomes targeted RBs on 18% of his throws last season, and Pacheco’s 7.0 yards per catch make this a low bar to clear. Bet: OVER 9.5 receiving yards (-110).
2. Justin Herbert (Chargers) – UNDER 21.5 Passing Completions Herbert’s arm is elite, but the Chargers’ run-heavy scheme under Jim Harbaugh and a thin WR corps make the UNDER 21.5 completions appealing. In 2024, Herbert averaged 20.8 completions per game (354 completions over 17 games) on 34.1 attempts, with a 60.8% completion rate. The loss of key defensive personnel could lead to game scripts favoring the run, and rookie RB Omarion Hampton’s addition supports a ground-focused approach. Bet: UNDER 21.5 completions (-105).
3. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) – OVER 0.5 Interceptions Mahomes is a wizard, but the OVER 0.5 interceptions is a sneaky play. In 2024, he threw 11 interceptions across 17 games (0.65 per game), with a tougher 2025 schedule (Eagles, Bills) likely forcing riskier throws. Without Rashee Rice early, Mahomes may press, targeting less reliable options like Xavier Worthy. His 2.1% interception rate last season supports this prop, especially against aggressive defenses. Bet: OVER 0.5 interceptions (+120).

ASAwins breaks down the Thursday Night NFL game and player prop bets – Cowboys vs Eagles
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb – OVER 6 Receptions
In 2023 the Cowboys threw the football 37.4 times per game, most in the NFL. Last season with Cooper Rush under center for 12 games (Prescott injured) they still attempted 37.5 per game. The Cowboys will struggle to run the football in this one so expect a 40+ drop backs for Prescott. Lamb should get plenty of opportunities in this game against the Eagles secondary, which is their defensive weakness. Lamb averaged over 10 targets last season and 6.7 receptions per game with a journeyman QB playing half the season.
Dallas Cowboy TE Jake Ferguson – OVER 3.5 Receptions
We know Dallas is going to throw the football a lot in this game and probably for the season. They lack a consistent running game and will rely on their passing attack with Prescott, Lamb and Pickens. The one guy that is going to benefit with the Pickens addition is Jake Ferguson. Ferguson is Prescott’s safety blanket or check down option when pressured. In 2023, Ferguson averaged 4.1 receptions per game and was targeted 102 total times. Last year he battled some injuries and played in just 14 games but still averaged 4.2 receptions per game.
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley – OVER 18.5 Rush Attempts
In the two games against the Cowboys last year Barkley had just 14 carries in the first meeting, then 31 in the second. We expect this game to be much more like the second clash from a year ago. In 16 games last season Barkley averaged 21.5 carries per game and the Eagles led the league in rush attempts per game at 36.7. The Cowboy’s defense was run on last season 28.4 times per game which was the 21st highest number in the NFL. Dallas also gave up the 4th most rushing yards per game so you can bet the Eagles game plan will be a heavy dose of the ground game.

NFL Week 1 Betting Trends: Underdogs Continue to Dominate
By ASAwins
As the NFL season kicks off, bettors are diving into Week 1 with a wealth of historical data pointing to one clear trend: underdogs have been a goldmine in the opening week. Since 2016, underdogs in Week 1 have posted an impressive 78-62 record against the spread (ATS), translating to a 56% success rate and an 8% return on investment (ROI). This trend highlights the value of betting on teams overlooked by oddsmakers early in the season, when uncertainty about team performance is at its peak.
Road Dogs Pave the Way Drilling down further, road underdogs have been even more profitable. Since 2016, Week 1 road dogs have gone 52-36 ATS, a 59% clip that delivers a robust 14% ROI. Teams playing away from home, often underestimated due to the perceived disadvantage, have consistently outperformed expectations in the season opener. Bettors looking for an edge might find road underdogs to be a key piece of their Week 1 strategy.
Teams That Missed the Playoffs Bounce Back Another angle to consider is teams that missed the postseason in the previous year. These underdogs have a strong track record in Week 1, going 59-45 ATS (57%) since 2016, with a 10% ROI. Teams coming off a disappointing season often enter the new campaign with a chip on their shoulder, making them dangerous bets against the spread in the opening week.

We will deliver the winning action to you via email and text messaging to make things as simple and easy as possible. Pick up a package that best suits your needs this football season.
Divisional Dogs: A Hidden Gem Divisional underdogs in Week 1 are a particularly hot commodity. Since 2016, these teams have gone 31-16 ATS, an eye-popping 66% success rate that yields a 26% ROI. Familiarity within divisions can level the playing field, and oddsmakers may overvalue favorites in these matchups, creating opportunities for savvy bettors to capitalize on underdogs.
Big Dogs Bark Loudest For those willing to take on more risk, big underdogs—those getting 6.5 or more points—have been a revelation. Since 2016, these teams have posted a 25-12 ATS record in Week 1, a 68% success rate with a massive 31% ROI. These high-upside bets can pay off handsomely when oddsmakers overestimate the gap between teams early in the season.
Division Home Underdogs Hold Strong While road dogs shine, don’t sleep on divisional home underdogs. Since 2010, Week 1 home underdogs playing within their division have gone 23-7 ATS, a remarkable 76.7% success rate. Playing in front of their own fans, these teams often defy expectations, making them a reliable option for bettors looking to back the underdog at home.
Conclusion Week 1 of the NFL season is a bettor’s paradise, with underdogs consistently delivering value across multiple categories. Whether it’s road dogs, divisional underdogs, teams coming off a non-playoff season, or big dogs getting 6.5+ points, the data since 2016 points to a clear strategy: don’t be afraid to back the underdog. Add in the strong performance of home underdogs since 2010, and bettors have a wealth of angles to explore. As you finalize your Week 1 bets, keep these trends in mind—history shows the underdog often has its day in the NFL’s opening week.

Jordan Pope (ankle) has been deemed a "true game-time decision," but it looks like he's going to give it a go for Texas and try to at least gut it out.
Gotta love the @CBSSports "expert" analysts talking about the brackets with Clark Kellogg saying that High Point has experience and good size. Experience yes. Size what? They rank 329th in average height and don't have a single guy over 6'8 in their rotation #NCAAtourney
