NFL Prop Bets | MNF Vikings vs Bears | Sep 8 2025

Caleb Williams Player Prop Bet: Over 4.5 Rush Attempts (-115) vs. Vikings

In 2024, Caleb Williams was the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, taking 68 sacks across 17 games. His mobility was a necessity, as he scrambled or ran on designed plays frequently, finishing with 489 rushing yards on 81 attempts (6.0 yards per carry). Notably, Williams had 4+ carries in 14 of 19 games and averaged 4.8 per for the season, including 10 carries in each of his two matchups against the Vikings last season. These games highlight his tendency to run when pressured by Minnesota’s defense, which led the NFL in quarterback pressures in 2024.

Aaron Jones Player Prop Bet: Over 2.5 Receptions (-110) vs. Bears

In 2024, Aaron Jones recorded 51 receptions on 67 targets over 17 games, averaging 3.0 receptions per game with the Vikings. He surpassed 2.5 receptions in 12 of 17 games, showcasing his reliability as a pass-catching back. Facing the Bears in 2024, Jones had 4 receptions for 46 yards in Week 12 and 3 receptions for 28 yards in Week 14, clearing the 2.5 mark in both games. With McCarthy, a rookie, starting under center, expect head coach Kevin O’Connell to lean on short, safe check-downs to Jones to ease the quarterback into the game. Minnesota’s offense in 2024 ranked 7th in passing yards (4,123), and Jones was a key outlet, with a 7.6% target share in the passing game.

NFL Player Prop Bets | Sept 7th 2025 | 3 Bets

ASAwins has 3 NFL player prop bets for you today, Sunday September 7th 2025. We have sifted through all the NFL games and have come up with our three best bets for today. Enjoy the games Sunday.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku – Anytime TD scorer +250

Passing Touchdowns Allowed: The Bengals allowed 29 opponent passing touchdowns during the regular season, ranking them 30th out of 32 NFL teams in passing touchdowns allowed per game (1.8 per game). Receptions Allowed to Tight Ends: The Bengals allowed 111 receptions to tight ends over the season, averaging 6.53 receptions per game. This placed them 31st in the NFL.  The Bengals defense surrendered the second-most TE touchdowns last season. Cincinnati’s offense, sharper after preseason reps, will likely push Cleveland to keep passing all game. Njoku could cash in on an anytime TD early or late.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner Over 15.5 Carries -130

James Conner is set to clear 15.5 carries against the Saints in Week 1. In 2024, he averaged 14.8 carries per game (236 carries over 16 games), hitting 16+ in 7 games. Conner, who thrives on volume and ranks second among RBs in rushing avoided tackles per game (4.5) and yards after contact per attempt (3.6) over the last two seasons. The Saints’ run defense ranked 28th last year, allowing 118.5 rushing yards per game and were 25th in opponents rushing attempts per game (28.8). With a competitive game script and Conner’s workhorse role, he should see enough volume to hit the over

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson Under 4.5 Receptions -135

The New York Jets, with Justin Fields as their quarterback, are expected to lean heavily on a run-first offensive approach. Fields, known for his inconsistent passing accuracy (career 60.3% completion rate and 38.7% on-target throw percentage in 2024), struggled to connect with receivers, especially under pressure. This limits Wilson’s target volume (9 per game in 2024), as Fields often opts for scrambles or checkdowns to running backs like Breece Hall. Wilson averaged 5.9 receptions per game in 2024, but reaching today’s O/U is going to be difficult.

NFL Free bet | Titans vs Broncos prediction | Sep 7 2025

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.

NFL Week 1 Betting Trends: Will the Dogs be barking?

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.

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.

ACC Win Total Prediction | Duke Blue Devils | 2025

duketotalwins

ASA’s ACC FOOTBALL WIN TOTAL PREDICTION – 2025

Duke Blue Devils OVER 6.5 Wins

The Blue Devils finished last season with a 9-3 regular season record and one of those losses came in OT vs SMU.  While we do not expect them to reach 9 wins again this season, their total is set at 6.5 which is too low in our opinion. 

They lose starting QB Murphy, who is now at Oregon State, however the Devils have added one of the top freshman QB’s in the nation from last season.  Their new signal caller, Mensah, started for Tulane last season who threw for 2,700 yards and 22 TD’s for the Green Wave in 2024. 

He’ll operate behind a very good offensive line with 4 starters back and the 5th spot being filled by an experienced transfer. 

Defensively they should be strong in the trenches as well with some key starters back from a team that finished #2 nationally in tackles for loss and #4 nationally in sacks per game.  Head coach Manny Diaz is one of the better defensive minds around so we expect them to be solid on that side of the ball once again this season. 

Speaking of Diaz, he’s done well with the continuity on his coaching staff returning both their offensive and defensive coordinator. 

Our power ratings have Duke favored in 8 games this season and the only game we have them a dog of more than 4 points is @ Clemson.  The Devils also avoid 2 of the top 4 teams in the ACC as they miss Miami FL and SMU in conference play. 

We’ll call for the Blue Devils to get to at least 7 wins.
