Christmas is coming early in 2026… kind of. Netflix is getting in on the NFL fun ahead of the big holiday this season, securing the rights to air the San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams game in Australia.
With more question marks surrounding the Niners, DraftKings has opened the Rams as -2.5-point favorites. The offensive minds of Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan have the books setting this total at 48.5 down under.

Adam Schefter reported on May 11 that the first SNF matchup will be between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.
After what most saw as a strong draft, Dallas opened up as a slight road favorite over its division rival. Meanwhile, the total is set at 47.5, with the books pricing the Over at -115.
Lions vs. Bills odds
The first Thursday Night Football game of the 2026 NFL season will feature the Detroit Lions visiting the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 17 in the first regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium.
