Top Week 1 NFL picks

After diving into all 16 games from the NFL's Week 1, Cohen likes the Bills (-1.5, 51.5) to narrowly win a rematch of their AFC Divisional Playoff Game victory over the Ravens in a 26-23 final. "In my opinion, these are the two best teams in the NFL and we'll see this matchup again on Sunday, January 25th, 2026 in the AFC Championship Game."

"I have Buffalo going 15-2 this season but Baltimore winning the Super Bowl. If I had to do a home field advantage ranking, the passionate Bills crowd would easily be in the top-5, if not No. 1 overall. That's the difference in a game that should be very similar to last year's playoff contest narrowly won by Buffalo." With that score prediction, Cohen likes the Bills on the money line, to cover and the Over to hit in this matchup. See his other Week 1 football score predictions at SportsLine.
