NFL Week 1 Best Bet

With training camp underway, NFL betting enthusiasts are foaming at the mouth in anticipation for the season to get underway. In week one there are many games on Sunday that one can look forward too. However, the best bet in week one is on the Monday night as the new look Ravens face the ever improved Jets. Here is a breakdown of the game.

Baltimore Ravens v New York Jets

On Monday September 13 in the first game of a Monday night doubleheader the AFC’s two wild card teams of a year ago will clash. During the offseason, both teams were part of a handful of squads that were rather busy.

Conversely, the Baltimore Ravens added Antoine Boldin from the Arizona Cardinals. Although a ground and pound offensive team, the acquisition of Boldin makes the Ravens just as dangerous when quarterback Flacco decides to air out the ball.

Aside from how both sides key offseason acquisitions will fare, a few other interesting storylines for NFL bettors to consider will be coming out of the New York Jets. For instance, although the Jets are a three point favorite, how will quarterback Mark Sanchez knee hold up after offseason surgery? Secondly and more importantly, will disgruntled cornerback Darrelle Revis be wearing a Jets uniform come the start of the season or will he be on a different team altogether?
