Most “How to Bet on Football” guides are going to walk you through the different options for betting on a single game. Looking at the NFL matchups and making picks is certainly one way to bet on the league, but there are other options available.
NFL odds come in many different forms, and making season-long bets is sometimes the best strategy to utilize. The Washington Commanders enter the 2022 season with some optimism, but it could also be a year that ends without a playoff berth.
The NFL odds have been set, and now is a great time to start getting those season-long futures or prop bets in.
Washington Commanders Week 1 Matchup Preview
The Washington Commanders host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, and Washington is a four-point betting favorite. If Washington wants to be at the top of the NFL standings by the end of the season, then this is a must-win game.
Jacksonville looks like a team that could become a playoff contender in future seasons, but they just aren’t at that point yet in 2022. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence can cause some problems, but the Jaguars are going to struggle to get wins.
Carson Wentz is now the quarterback in Washington, and he has had plenty of success in the NFL, especially in the NFC East. The Washington Commanders will once again have a dominant defensive line, and that unit will have a big game in this one.
Take the Commanders -4.0 as they win the season opener and cover the spread.
