Week 1 NFL Line Moves

NFL - (473) Washington at (474) Tampa Bay  Total 44
Sunday, September 8 – 4:25 p.m. ET / FOX

This is one of only two totals that rose more than two points in Week 1, jumping from 41.5 to 44. Washington has talented playmakers like RB Brian Robinson Jr. and receiver Terry McLaurin. Washington Commanders predictions Free PIckFootball bettors are trusting rookie QB Jayden Daniels to get the ball to them, along with making plays himself. Baker Mayfield might have a system and a coaching staff that brings out his best skill set. He played well in the second half of last year, under more control with less emotion. New Washington head coach Dan Quinn was brought in to improve the NFL’s weakest defense from a year ago, but it's not likely to improve that much without playing a game.Tampa Bay Bucs prediction free pick

Update: This number didn’t hold up well, and backtracked to 42.5 after the initial surge. That is backed by the lowered betting percentages. Are bettors thinking the Commandoes (can’t help myself) QB Daniels might not be as effective as first thought?

Bet Percentage: Was 80% OVER, Now 54%
