- Mike Tierney released his Week 1 NFL money line parlay picks, entering the season 320-271-16 over the past four NFL seasons and 130-101 ATS (56.3 percent) over the past two.
- Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 13-10 in Wednesday's season opener, with 13 Sunday games and a Monday night Broncos-Chiefs matchup still ahead.
- Bears, Eagles, and Chargers make up Tierney's favorites parlay; Chicago ranked sixth in offense under Ben Johnson, Philadelphia is 5-0 in Week 1 under Nick Sirianni, and the Commanders fielded the NFL's most porous defense in 2025.
- Los Angeles hired offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to break through toward Super Bowl contention, while the Cardinals carry the longest Super Bowl futures odds in the league with Jacoby Brissett starting at QB.
- Texans, Jets, and Broncos form the underdogs parlay; DeMeco Ryans is 4-1 against Josh Allen-led Buffalo (Allen was 9-for-30 in their 2024 matchup and took eight sacks last year), and Denver finished eight games ahead of the Chiefs in last year's AFC West standings.
- Tennessee has lost eight straight as a narrow favorite, a trend the Jets underdog pick leans against as Geno Smith returns to his second stint in New York.
Why it matters: Tierney's 56.3 percent ATS clip over two seasons gives these picks commercial weight, and the underdogs parlay directly challenges the conventional Chiefs-favorite framing around Monday night — Denver won three straight in the series and KC went 6-8 last year with Mahomes starting, facts that complicate the standard Monday Night Football betting narrative.
