Spring is in the air, the grass is growing, the leaves are budding, and the birds and bees are getting busy. A perfect time to start thinking about fall football.
The NFL dropped the 2023 regular season schedule Thursday with the hype and excitement of a Taylor Swift-Beyonce combo album, and with it came the rollout of 2023 NFL odds.
There used to be a time when a select handful of sportsbooks would open NFL spreads for every game on the schedule, but now, just about every mainstream operator is posting lines from Week 1 to Week 18 (which is madness).
Even with Opening Night still 100+ days away, I can’t help but look ahead to the Week 1 odds as well as the first three weeks of NFL betting action. I single out some of my favorite NFL bets to make now, expecting these closing numbers to look very different on game day.
