NFL bettors — start your betting engines.

With Week 1 of the 2024-25 NFL season officially here, game lines are out and on the move.

The Chiefs defeated the Ravens on Thursday night while Eagles took down the Packers in Brazil. One notable matchup to look out for is the Cowboys and Browns on Sunday, which you can watch on FOX and the FOX Sports app.

Last season, America's Team clinched a playoff berth after notching a 12-5 regular season record. Dallas faced Green Bay in the NFC wild card round and lost 48-32.

The Browns also lost in the wild-card round last season when they fell to the Texans 45-14. However, by most standards, Cleveland overachieved in 2023 by making it to the playoffs with quarterback Joe Flacco at the helm and a host of injuries throughout its roster.

As for Kansas City, they looked sharp in their opener against Baltimore, as they pursue a third straight Super Bowl this season.

Check out the lines for all of the NFL games this Sunday at DraftKings Sportsbook, as well as some early best bets from Geoff Schwartz.

Pick by Geoff Schwartz:

I have the Browns winning and covering against the Cowboys because of the line of scrimmage. The Cowboys will be starting two rookie offensive linemen in their first road start against the Browns defensive line. Myles Garrett — one of the best defensive players in the game — is going to pass rush against Tyler Guyton, a rookie left tackle who needs polish in the NFL. The Cowboys will struggle to rush the ball and Dak Prescott will get hit all game. It's worrisome for me.

On the other side of the ball, the Browns will have a healthy offensive line for Week 1. Although losing offensive line coach Bill Callahan isn't ideal for development, they have a veteran group, and they added Jerry Jeudy to the skill group. The Cowboys lost defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to the Commanders, and they are due for a regression this season on defense. I'm wagering that regression starts right away.

PICK: Browns (-1 at time of pick) to win by more than 1 point

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4:25 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports app)

Point spread: Bucs -3.5 (Bucs favored to win by more than 3 points, otherwise Commanders cover)
Moneyline: Bucs -170 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $15.88 total); Commanders +142 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $24.20 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 42.5 points scored by both teams combined

Pick by Geoff Schwartz:

Once Baker Mayfield replaced Tom Brady at quarterback, most people wrote Tampa Bay off. But as we know, the Bucs went on to win the NFC South and host a playoff game. Mayfield had a career resurgence last season and Tampa Bay is poised to compete once again for a playoff berth. The Commanders are rolling into town for a Week 1 matchup with a rookie quarterback and a questionable offensive line. Feels like a recipe for a tough matchup against Todd Bowles' defense. The Commanders are rebuilding their exterior pass rush and have added new pieces in the back end of the defense. I do believe Dan Quinn will get this unit going, but probably not right away. I like the Bucs to cover.

PICK: Buccaneers (-3.5 at time of pick) to win by 4 points or more

LOS ANGELES RAMS @ DETROIT LIONS (8:20 p.m., NBC)

Point spread: Lions -4.5 (Lions favored to win by 4 points or more, otherwise Rams cover)
Moneyline: Lions -170 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $15.88 total); Rams +142 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $24.20 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 52 points scored by both teams combined

MONDAY, SEPT. 9

NEW YORK JETS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Point spread: 49ers -4.5 (49ers favored to win by 5 points or more, otherwise Jets cover)
Moneyline: 49ers -218 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $14.59 total); Jets +180 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $28 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 43.5 points scored by both teams combined
