Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will face his former team for the first time when the Carolina Panthers host the Cleveland Browns in the teams’ season opener on Sunday, September 11. Drafted No. 1 overall by the Browns in 2018, Mayfield went 29-30 as a starter at Cleveland and led the Browns to the 2020 season playoffs. In July, Cleveland traded Mayfield to Carolina. The Panthers are favored by two runs in Caesars Sportsbook’s latest NFL odds, while the over/under for total runs scored is 41.5. The game is one of 16 on a busy Week 1 NFL schedule. Other key NFL matchups include defending Super Bowl champion Rams hosting the Bills in the 2022 NFL Kickoff Game and Broncos’ Russell Wilson returning to Seattle to face his former team, the Seahawks.

Top NFL Picks of Week 1
After faking every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Indianapolis Colts to cover as eight-point road favorites against the Houston Texans. Indianapolis is coming off a 9-8 season in which the team narrowly missed out on a playoff spot. Houston has struggled the past two seasons, winning only four games each year.
Last season, the Colts completely pissed off Texans quarterback Davis Mills. In two games, then-rookie Mills completed 35 of 57 passes for 292 yards and zero touchdowns against Indianapolis. He threw two interceptions and was sacked four times. The Colts won the games by a combined 62-3. See what other NFL betting picks to make here.
