Jets vs. Bills: In week one, the New York Jets take on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are currently favoured by 2.5 points, which translates to about a 5.5-point advantage on a neutral field. As a Jets fan, Barnaby has been eagerly anticipating this season. The team has made significant moves, and expectations are high.Rob expects a close game due to the continuity of the Bills' roster, led by star quarterback Josh Allen. On the other hand, Barnaby sees potential in the Jets, citing improvements on both offense and defense, with a strong defense and notable additions like Dalvin Cook and Garrett Wilson. Rob acknowledges the Bills' strengths but believes the Jets could have a better overall record by the end of the season. While the Bills are favoured, both experts agree that the Jets have a shot at victory in this matchup.

Cowboys vs. Giants:In the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys face the New York Giants. The Cowboys are favoured by 3.5 points, but Rob is surprised by this number. Both teams have their challenges, with Zeke Elliott's absence for the Cowboys and lingering issues around Giants' star Saquon Barkley.Despite these concerns, Rob believes the Cowboys are the better team, relying on Dak Prescott and the talents of Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb. However, he acknowledges that the game could be close due to divisional rivalry factors.

Bears vs. Packers:The Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers clash in a divisional showdown, with the Bears being favored by just one point. Rob is confident in the Bears, considering the Packers' uncertainties with Jordan Love at quarterback. He thinks Justin Fields is poised for a breakout season.

Lions vs. Chiefs:The Detroit Lions go head-to-head with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are favored by 4.5 points, though this line has fluctuated. Rob questions the widespread belief that the Lions are overrated, pointing out their improved performance last season and the potential for a shootout in this game.

49ers vs. Steelers:The San Francisco 49ers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the 49ers favoured by 2.5 points. Rob expects the 49ers to come out strong with their strong defense and offensive weapons, including Christian McCaffrey. He also anticipates rookie quarterback Sam Darnold making an impact.
