The NFL has released its entire 18-week schedule for the upcoming 2022 season and it is pulling no punches right out of the gate. The Week 1 slate is jam-packed with several high-profile matchups to get the season rolling on a high note. <\/p>\n

Some of the more notable matchups include the defending Super Bowl champion Rams taking on the betting favorite to win Super Bowl LVII this year – the Bills – in Los Angeles in the season opener. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson will immediately make his first trip back to Seattle to face his former Seahawks team as he makes his Broncos debut on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n

Of course, as we comb through this schedule, we also get our first look at the betting odds for these matchups in Week 1. Below, you’ll find the initial odds for the opening slate and our early picks for how we think each game will unfold. <\/p>\n

Bills at Rams (-1)<\/h2>\n

Both of these teams look like juggernauts and will likely be looked at as Super Bowl favorites throughout the season. That said, there does seem to be a little extra juice for the reigning champions as they begin their title defense. Dating back to Super Bowl XXXIV, the defending champions are 18-3 SU and 13-6-2 ATS in Week 1. That alone should have folks leaning towards the Rams, especially as they enter Year 2 with Matthew Stafford. <\/p>\n

Projected<\/strong> score<\/strong>: Rams 30, Bills 27
