Monday night NFL odds include the point spread, moneyline, and total for the week’s Monday matchup, along with available markets like player props and Same Game Parlays. Below are the current numbers, an explanation of how each market works, and background on why lines can change.

Week 1 Monday Pro Football Odds

The Week 1 Monday night NFL game is Denver at Kansas City, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 PM ET on ESPN and ABC.

Kansas City is favored by 1.5 points. Denver is +1.5 at -105, Kansas City is -1.5 at -115, and the total is 42.5, with the over priced at -115 and the under priced at -105.

These odds were captured on September 14, 2026, at 1:26 p.m. PT and can change before kickoff. Injury updates, weather, and other market information may affect the available lines and prices. Go to the Caesars Sportsbook NFL odds page for the latest numbers.

How to Read Monday Night NFL Odds

Monday night NFL odds usually center on 3 core numbers: the point spread, moneyline, and total. Understanding what each one measures is the first step to reading a matchup correctly.

• Point spread: The spread applies a margin to the matchup. For example, a favorite listed at -2.5 must win by 3 points or more for that spread wager to win, and an underdog listed at +2.5 covers by winning outright or losing by 2 points or less.
• Moneyline: A moneyline wager focuses on which team wins, with no point spread involved. At -150, a bettor risks $150 to earn $100 in profit. At +127, a successful $100 wager earns $127 in profit. Favorites usually carry negative (-) moneyline odds, while underdogs usually carry positive (+) odds.
• Total: The total, also called the over/under, is a number set for the combined score of the 2 teams. An over wager wins if the combined score finishes above the posted total, while an under wager wins if it finishes below the total. If the combined score equals a whole-number total, the wager results in a push.
• Reading the vig: The price next to a spread or total, like -103 or -118, determines the potential return and reflects the sportsbook’s built-in margin. At -103, a bettor risks $103 to earn $100 in profit. At -118, a bettor risks $118 to earn the same $100 in profit.

How Monday Night NFL Lines Are Set and Why They Move

Sportsbooks set opening lines using available information about the teams and matchup. Those lines and their attached prices can change as new information becomes available and the market develops before kickoff.

Common factors that may move a line between the open and kickoff include:

• Injury reports: A change in a key player’s status can affect the spread, moneyline, total, or available player markets
• Weather: Wind, rain, snow, or extreme temperatures may affect the total or other available markets, particularly for outdoor games
• Market activity: The available line or attached price may change as the sportsbook updates the market
• Game location: The venue and home-field context may be considered when an opening line is set
• Rest and travel: Differences in preparation time, schedule position, or travel may be considered when a market is opened or updated

No single factor guarantees that a line will move or predicts which team will win. Lines and prices can change before kickoff, so readers should use the current odds board rather than numbers captured earlier in the week.

The Main Types of Monday Night NFL Bets

Beyond the spread, moneyline, and total, available markets may include player props, Same Game Parlays, alternate lines, live betting, and futures.

• Player props: These wagers focus on an individual player’s statistical performance, like passing yards, rushing yards, receptions, or touchdowns. An Anytime Touchdown Scorer wager wins if the selected player records a qualifying touchdown during the game. Available players, markets, and prices vary by matchup and jurisdiction.
• Same Game Parlay: A Same Game Parlay, or SGP, combines multiple eligible selections from one game into a single wager. Every live leg must win for the SGP to pay out. Adding legs can increase the potential payout, but it also adds more required outcomes.
• Alternate lines: Alternate spreads and totals use different numbers from the primary posted line and carry their own odds. Availability varies by game and market.
• Live betting: Live or in-game betting may be available after kickoff, with odds and markets changing as the game progresses.
• NFL futures: Longer-term wagers focus on outcomes decided later in the regular season or playoffs, like division winners, conference winners, or The Big Game champion. These markets are separate from the week’s Monday night matchup.
