Check out more at Off Shore Gaming Association, where I chip-in initial coverage of NFL Week 1 with updates including line moves and adjustments from leading online sportsbooks.

NFL Week 1 And Fairway’s Forecast History

Bet Labs reports that since 2010, NFL underdogs of 6 or more points in NFL Week 1 have gone 41-27-1 (60%) ATS.

Recall in our 2023 season picking only NFL underdogs, our Week 14 picks went 7-0 ATS (plus a push). Many years ago, Fairway’s Forecast had 8-straight winning NFL seasons while providing picks and appearing weekly on national and Las Vegas radio. That included a perfect 10-0 ATS bankroll booster in Week 2.

Dallas at Philadelphia

The Cowboys and Eagles have plenty of personnel returning including QB’s Dak Prescott (off injury) and Jalen Hurts. Star RB and Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley is running behind Pro Football Focus’ No. 1 rated offensive line into the 2025 season. Barkley rushed for more than 2,000 yards last season and the Eagles led the NFC in rushing at 179 yards per game.

Along with top, talented receivers on both teams in CeeDee Lamb (1,194 yards), Jalen Tolbert (610) and newcomer George Pickens (900), plus Eagles stars AJ Brown (1,073) and Devonta Smith (833), more big plays and scoring is expected. The Eagles won both matchups last season 34-6 and 41-7 at home, but Cowboys QB Prescott missed both games with injury. The Eagles and Cowboys have averaged 55 points per game in their last nine meetings with the games going ‘over’ the total seven times.

Eagles Week 1 games have gone 3-0 over/under the last three years averaging 60 points per game. Over the past four years, NFC contests are 14-1 over/under when the home team is favored by -5 or more points. Also, home favorites of greater than 3 points are 14-1 over/under in Weeks 1-4 the past three years if they won 14 or more games the previous season. There are some additional strong over the total results based on other game total parameters provided by the Playbook Totals Tip Sheet.

Get ready for a shootout as the Cowboys and Eagles should put on an offensive show Thursday night as we kickoff a new season with a 2025 NFL Week 1 totals pick on the Cowboys-Eagles over 47.5.

You can bet on it.

Update: Eagles win 24-20 after leading 21-20 at halftime and zero punts either team late into 3Q before 45 minute delay for weather.

Cowboys/Eagles total was 47.5 — after 41 first half pts and just 3 second half pts, the under cashes…

Games with 40+ pts in the first half, with a full game O/U below 50, were 172-1 to the over last 20 yrs — now 172-2. pic.twitter.com/NEPtL13YTF
