After suffering an overtime loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, the 49ers will begin their season on Monday Night Football against the Jets. This final matchup of Week 1 features Aaron Rodgers returning from a torn Achilles, making it a possible preview of Super Bowl 59. Both teams boast strong rosters, with San Francisco being a 4.5-point home favorite according to the latest odds, despite a 9-11 record against the spread last season.
Meanwhile, the Lions, who were the NFC runners-up, will kick off their season on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams, marking a rematch of last season’s NFC wild card battle. Detroit is favored by 3.5 points in the betting lines. As you prepare for your Week 1 NFL score predictions, you might wonder which teams to back and where oddsmakers might have erred. Before finalizing your picks, take a look at the NFL against the spread, over-under, and money line predictions powered by SportsLine AI.
Using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, the SportsLine Data Science team built these predictions. Each game’s predictions are created by analyzing historical data and evaluating the opponent’s defense strength, quantified by a score ranging from 0 to 100, known as the matchup score.
Once a prediction is made, an AI rating is assigned, taking into account the matchup score, the prediction itself, and the market odds. For instance, you might notice an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a weak defense, their prediction differs significantly from the spread, and favorable odds are offered.
Additionally, SportsLine AI represents the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine, constantly updating with the latest available data to identify significant line discrepancies. Last season alone, SportsLine’s AI PickBot celebrated an impressive 1,674 successful 4.5 and 5-star prop picks, benefiting its followers significantly.
For Week 1, the AI PickBot analyzed NFL odds and made predictions for all 16 games. You can see the AI predictions for the Week 1 NFL schedule exclusively here.
TOP WEEK 1 NFL AI PICKS
After a thorough analysis of every Week 1 game, the AI PickBot predicts that the Broncos will cover as six-point underdogs against the Seahawks, a game that has received an A-rated pick. Last year, the Broncos ranked last in the NFL for points per game, but under Sean Payton’s guidance in 2023, they improved to 19th in scoring. Conversely, Seattle’s defense struggled significantly, allowing a high conversion rate on third downs.
The Broncos’ defense excelled in forcing turnovers, ranking 12th in the league with 26 takeaways and second in opponents’ third-down conversion rate. Given these dynamics, the AI PickBot foresees a closer game than the oddsmakers anticipate, predicting an average score of Seahawks 21.86, Broncos 20.34.
