Our Seattle Seahawks just kicked off the 2026 NFL season with a hard-fought 13-10 win over the New England Patriots! What a way to start, right? The 12s are already buzzing from Lumen Field to the Sound after that defensive slugfest. But while we’re still soaking in that W, the smart money is already talking about a wild Week 1 parlay that’s looking at a nearly 25-1 payout.
The Model’s Big Bets and That Giant Over Pick
This monster parlay comes from SportsLine’s proven computer model, a system that simulates every single NFL game 10,000 times. You gotta respect that kind of dedication! This isn’t some shot in the dark, either; the model is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since it started. We’re talking a 53-37 run on top-rated picks dating all the way back to 2024. Talk about hitting the mark consistently! The model has scoured the Week 1 NFL odds and locked in five confident NFL best bets.
So, what’s on its mind for Week 1? One big one it’s shouting about is the Over 48.5 combined points in that Cowboys vs. Giants Sunday night matchup at 8:20 p.m. ET. The model says this hits more than 60% of the time! And honestly, the numbers back it up. The Over has hit in six of the last 10 head-to-head games between those two, including their last three meetings. Plus, the Over is 8-2 over the last 10 Cowboys and Giants games overall. Dallas was straight-up offensive fire last season, second in the league averaging 391.9 yards per game and seventh in scoring with 27.7 points. Dak Prescott was slinging it, too, with 4,552 yards, third-best in the league, 30 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions. Even New York’s offense wasn’t slouching, 13th overall with 333.5 yards per game and 17th in scoring at 22.4 points. Jaxson Dart put up 2,272 passing yards, 15 TDs, five picks, and even ran for 487 yards and nine scores! That’s a lot of offense, so an Over makes sense.
Kickoff Weekend Madness All Around the League
Beyond that big parlay leg, Week 1 is stacked with action. We’ve got the Rams and 49ers going at it on Thursday night, making history with the first-ever NFL Australia game. Talk about taking the show on the road! Sunday’s schedule is packed, too, with matchups like Bills vs. Texans, Ravens vs. Colts, Bears vs. Panthers, Saints vs. Lions, Packers vs. Vikings, and Commanders vs. Eagles all throwing down. And don’t forget “Monday Night Football” with the Chiefs and Broncos, where we’ll see Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix back from injuries. It’s awesome to see those guys healthy and ready to roll!
What a start to the 2026 season! Our Seahawks got their W, the Emerald City is hyped, and there’s serious cash on the table with this 25-1 parlay if you know where to look for the model’s full picks at SportsLine. Get ready for more gridiron action, 12s, because this season is already looking wild!
