NFL Preseason Schedule 2018: Week 1 TV Channels, Start Times, Betting Odds For Every Game
For the first time in seven months, all 32 NFL teams are scheduled to play in the same week. Sure, it’s only preseason, but you can still watch and bet on every game just like you could in the regular season.
Week 1 of the 2018 NFL preseason features 16 contests over the span of three days. Five of the games will be broadcast on national TV, and the rest of the schedule can be seen on each team’s local affiliate.
Because it’s the start of the preseason and few starters will see much playing time, no betting line is higher than 3.5 points. No road team is favored. The game totals range from 34-37.
The Dallas Cowboys are the week’s biggest underdog, getting more than a field goal in their road game against the San Francisco 49ers. The contest between the Washington Redskins and New England Patriots is expected to be the week’s highest-scoring affair.
The preseason officially kicked off last week when the Baltimore Ravens beat the Chicago Bears 17-16 in the Hall of Fame Game.
Below is the complete Week 1 preseason schedule, including TV Channels and start times. Betting odds are provided by OddsShark.
