If we go by last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be decisive favorites over the Washington Commanders in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.
Washington finished 4-13 last season, while the Bucs went 9-8, won the NFC South, and soundly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round.
While the Buccaneers return many familiar faces in 2024, the Commanders do not. Washington has a new general manager, a new coaching staff and over 30 new players, including rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
So, it was no surprise when Tampa opened as the early betting favorites over Washington. When the NFL schedule was revealed in May, the Buccaneers opened as 3.5-point favorites.
With gameday here, the betting lines have primarily remained the same, according to BetMGM.
Here are the final betting lines for Washington’s Week 1 game at Tampa:
Moneyline (ML)
- Commanders +155

- Commanders +3.5 (-110)
- Buccaneers -3.5 (-110)
