Welcome to the 2022 NFL season! We’ve got quite a debut game as the Rams host the Bills. Our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 1 covers all the fantasy football and DFS info you’ll need. Also, we will present our Best Bet for the game.

The inaugural game of the 2022 NFL season is sure to be a good one as the defending champion Rams host a Buffalo Bills squad that is favored to be their top challengers this season. With an opening over/under of 52.5, there should be plenty of fireworks in the first game of the season.

Here is our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 1 with fantasy tips, DFS picks, and our best bet.

Matchup

TEAM	OFFENSE	PASS	RUSH	YDS/PLAY	POINTS
Buffalo Bills	5	9	6	10	3
Los Angeles Rams	9	5	25	3	7

* above ranks are from the 2021 season

Too often we have subpar Thursday night matchups worsened by teams playing on a short week. That won’t be the case in the season opener. Both teams are prohibitive Super Bowl favorites and boasted top-1o offenses last season. Both squads also have deep and talented defenses, which will make every drive crucial.

Sean McVay, fresh off his first Lombardi Trophy, is one of the most innovative and intelligent coaches in the league. In McVay’s first five seasons at the helm, the Rams have made the playoffs four times and boast a 55-26 regular-season record. All of his teams have finished 11th or better in offense and 16th or better…

How will tonight’s Rams vs. Bills game go?

Super Bowl Preview: Betting & DFS Tips

Although this wasn’t the outcome most of us expected back in August, we have finally reached the final NFL game of the season and Super Bowl LVI is shaping up to be an exciting contest.

The NFC is represented by Sean McVay‘s Los Angeles Rams, who last won a title back in the 1999 season and last appeared two seasons later losing Super Bowl XXXVI 20-17. This is the Rams’ fifth overall appearance.

Making their third overall appearance, the AFC’s Cincinnati Bengals have never won an NFL championship and this is their time playing in the Super Bowl in 40 years. The Bengals are 0-2 in their previous Super Bowls.

Both teams were the respective conference’s 4-seeds, making this the first game since 1975 without at least one team being a top-3 playoff entrant.

As with any NFL finale, Sunday will be treated as a national holiday with plenty of daily fantasy and betting action taking place.

Our Conference Championships bets went a perfect 4-0, so Let’s break down how the game might go and pick our best bets for Super Bowl LVI.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Current Line: Cincinnati +4; over/under 48.5

We are down to the NFL’s final four teams after a wild Divisional round that saw all four games decided on the final play- an NFL first. Football fans are now just one afternoon away from knowing which two teams will be squaring off for Super Bowl LVI.

Both conference championship tilts this week feature rematches from the 2021 regular season, which can complicate matters from a betting and fantasy perspective.

Let’s break down the 49ers/Rams and Bengals/Chiefs games on Sunday and see how sports betting and NFL DFS fans should approach the penultimate week of football.

Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs

There isn’t much of a break to get over what was a devastating Week 15 that dragged on for what felt like six weeks but was actually just six days.

Still, for those of us still playing, we must move on and Thursday Night Football offers an intriguing intra-conference battle between the red-hot San Francisco 49ers and AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans.

With plenty of fantasy-relevant players on both sides of the ball, this game should have a ton of ramifications on season-long and best-ball lineups as well as DFS.

Here is what we can expect from Week 16’s Thursday night showdown…

Urban Meyer finally getting dismissed isn’t the only positive thing for football fans this Thursday. For a change, we get an excellent matchup on Thursday Night Football with two playoff teams armed with high-scoring offensive capabilities.

While the Chiefs aren’t putting up their normal numbers, Kansas City enters this showdown in the midst of a six-game winning streak. The Chiefs still have the NFL’s No. 4 overall offense but it’s the defense that has really stepped up over the last month to vault Kansas City back up the AFC playoff standings.

The Chargers have won 3-of-4 and have also racked up 37-plus points in those three victories. These two rivals met back in Week 3 at Arrowhead with the Chargers coming away with a 30-24 victory. Will the Chargers be able to win at home and sweep their AFC West nemesis or will the red-hot Chiefs extend their winning streak and even the series?

Last Thursday was a bit overwhelming, with three games filling up an entire day. Week 13 sees a return to normalcy as the Dallas Cowboys travel to New Orleans in our primetime showdown.

This will be the Cowboys’ second consecutive Thursday tilt and the Cowboys, losers of three of their last four games. For Dallas to get back into the conversation as the NFC’s top team they need to quickly right the ship.

New Orleans has been even worse, losing four straight and falling out of the wild-card chase. In an effort to right the ship, Sean Payton has made a quarterback change, but will it be enough to save the Saints’ season?

Traditionally the Week 12 slate has always been one of the most anticipated of the season. In many leagues, Week 12 marks the trade deadline, but normally falling on Thanksgiving, it also means an entire Thursday filled with food, family, friends, and football.

With three games filling up the entire day, we must take a different approach in our usual Thursday Night Football preview. For this week, I’ll take a broad look at all three games and make my favorite picks for each game.

Things haven’t been easy this year, so please take the time to be appreciative for what you still have, and the things that truly matter in life besides football. We wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings and hope you’re able to enjoy a full day’s worth of pigskin with those that mean the most.

Chicago Bears (-3) at Detroit Lions; over/under 41

The opening game of the slate isn’t exactly the most desirable, but there’s still plenty of fantasy ramifications on the line. Rumors are swirling that this could be Matt Nagy’s last game of the helm for Chicago, but it seems odd to let a coach prepare a team to play if his fate’s already decided and the team is still technically in the playoff hunt. It would also go against the 100-plus year history of the franchise never dismissing a coach mid-season.

Detroit won’t part ways with Dan Campbell this week but the league’s only winless team still has plenty of questions- like who will be under center?

Last week’s Thursday Night Football matchup didn’t exactly go as intended. While an entertaining, high-scoring contest would be a nice change of pace, Week 11’s game doesn’t quite project to be filled with too many fireworks.

The red-hot 6-4 New England Patriots, winners of four straight and 5-of-6 overall, have surged right back into AFC playoff contention, while the 4-5 Falcons look to regroup after a 40-point dismemberment at the hands of the Cowboys in Dallas last Sunday.

This is a rematch from Super Bowl LI, so get ready for lots of 28-3 references. Aside from that, there are plenty of sports betting, fantasy football, and DFS implications at play, so let’s preview the game…
