NFL Week 1 Best Bets and Predictions 2026: Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers | The Betting Show
Description
The Betting Show debuts with Nate Polvogt and Allen Sandidge of ESPN Richmond breaking down the Week 1 NFL slate and the college board. New episodes every Saturday morning through the 2026 season.
The guys open the season by grading the early Week 1 results, including the Patriots and Seahawks kickoff, the Sam Darnold injury fallout, and the 49ers' outright road win over the Rams in Melbourne. Then they turn to the Sunday card, working the SuperContest picks and the games they're circling: Packers vs Vikings, Jets vs Titans, Cowboys vs Giants, Buccaneers vs Bengals, Falcons vs Steelers, Broncos vs Chiefs, and Bears vs Panthers, plus a Week 1 survivor play. They close with the college bets of the week on the Rutgers and Ohio State boards.
Which way are they leaning? Hit play to get every pick before Sunday's kickoffs.
