As part of the NFL's ongoing efforts to expand its global reach, the league will showcase seven international games during the 2025–26 season.

Week 1 features a Friday night banger as the Los Angeles Chargers will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings are scheduled to play back-to-back games in Dublin and then London, while the Indianapolis Colts will host the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany, and the Washington Commanders are set to face the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain.

With the full international slate now released, let’s dive into the NFL odds for each of the seven overseas matchups below.

NFL International game odds & picks

Chiefs vs. Chargers odds - Week 1

Chiefs Corinthians Arena Chargers
-144 Moneyline +122
-3 Spread +3
o46.5 Total u46.5

Vikings vs. Steelers odds - Week 4

Bears Croke Park Steelers
-122 Moneyline +102
-1.5 Spread +1.5
o42.5 Total u42.5

My pick: Vikings -1.5

As of now, this is a J.J. McCarthy vs. Mason Rudolph battle under center, which might not be the most exciting QB pairing for the Irish crowd.

Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers pick up a passer before this Week 4 showcase, but we’ll work with what we've got.

The Minnesota Vikings proved a solid roster can lift the quarterback last season, and Minnesota has plenty of weapons around McCarthy, who missed his rookie campaign due to injury.

I’ll lay Minnesota as a short neutral-site chalk.

Vikings vs. Browns odds - Week 5

Bears Wembley Stadium Browns
-298 Moneyline +240
-7 Spread +7
o41.5 Total u41.5

My pick: Under 41.5

The Vikings play their second international games, this time jumping the Irish Sea to play the Cleveland Browns at Hotspur Stadium in London.

Cleveland’s QB rotation is a puzzle box, but we do know the Browns defense will be OK, with Myles Garrett riding a new contract.

Minnesota also brings a top-tier stop unit to the UK, so this could be a defensive grinder.

Going Under 41.5 points.

Broncos vs. Jets odds - Week 6

Bears Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Jets
-265 Moneyline +215
-6.5 Spread +6.5
o42.5 Total u42.5

My pick: Broncos -6.5

The Denver Broncos are on the up and up, boasting second-year QB Bo Nix and arguably the best defense in the NFL, especially after bolstering the stop unit during free agency and the draft.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets will be a team in transition, featuring new head coach Aaron Glenn and putting all their chips in on QB Justin Fields.

I like the Broncos sitting just below the key number of a touchdown.

Rams vs. Jaguars odds - Week 7

Bears Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Jets
-205 Moneyline +170
-4.5 Spread +4.5
o47.5 Total u47.5

My pick: Rams -4.5

New Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen faces a familiar foe in Sean McVay — his former boss of four seasons.

It’s a massive time jump for the Los Angeles Rams, who will be eight hours ahead of Pacific Time in Week 7. The last time McVay’s team was in the UK, it played on the East Coast the week before and stayed out east before jumping the pond.

As of right now, I want to lay Los Angeles -4.5, but I’m curious to see what the Rams' Week 6 matchup looks like.

Falcons vs. Colts odds - Week 10

Dolphins Olympic Stadium Berlin Colts
-130 Moneyline +110
-2.5 Spread +2.5
o45.5 Total u47.5

My pick: Falcons -1.5

Given the tightness of this spread, bookies expect Anthony Richardson to get right and be the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts when Week 10 rolls around. Indy's other option is Daniel Jones, who should warrant a spread closer to the field goal.

The Atlanta Falcons seem to have their QB1 in Michael Penix Jr. after his strong finish to the season. Atlanta scored 24, 34, and 38 points in its final three games, showcasing plenty of firepower around Penix.

I'm rolling with Atlanta in Berlin. 

Commanders vs. Dolphins odds - Week 11

Bears Bernabeu Stadium Dolphins
-148 Moneyline +124
-3 Spread +3
o48.5 Total u48.5

My pick: Under 48.5

This is the first time the NFL has ventured to Madrid, and they’re giving the Spanish crowds a solid matchup — if Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy enough to see Week 11.

The dark cloud hovering over this one is the grass surface inside Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

That sod was replaced four times during Real Madrid’s most recent La Liga campaign, which was marred by injuries. Many are pointing to the integrity of the hybrid surface as the reason for all those ailments.

A shitty field could slow down both the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins offenses. I’ll go Under 48.5 points.
