With the start of NFL Football upon us, let’s take a look at the full slate of games as well as some of our top NFL picks to open the season. All odds are from our friends over at BetRivers IL. Click the banner and get in the game!
Tampa Bay Bucs -8, 51.5 vs Dallas Cowboys
The UNDER 51.5 is a tantalizing number. I am counting on the Super Bowl hangover for the Bucs and the expectations that the Cowboys will be the usual underwhelming Cowboys to keep this game well below the 51.5 total.
LA Chargers -1, 44.5 @ Washington FC
Tennessee Titans -3, 52, vs Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons -3.5, 48 vs Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo Bills -6.5, 48.5 vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Carolina Panthers -5.5, 44.5 vs NY Jets
Jax Jaguars -3.5, 44.5 @ Houston Texans
Gonna keep inconsistent and take the OVER 44.5 total. Offseason turmoil in Houston and a rookie QB with lots to prove in Jacksonville will work together to keep the scoring going.
SF 49ers -8, 45 @ Detroit Lions
Minnesota Vikings -4.5, 47.5 @ Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals are one of the favorites to be the “Last Winless Team” at odds of +800. While the Vikings aren’t the greatest team, the fact they have Kirk Cousins says they should not handle Cincinnati and will probably lose by at least a TD.
Seattle Seahawks -2.5, 49.5 @ Indianapolis Colts
Green Bay Packers -4.5, 49.5 @ NO Saints
I hate to pile on the folks at Louisiana (we picked the LSU upset loss vs UCLA!), but the Pack should capitalize on the turmoil in the NO region and cover 4.5 points. Aaron Rodgers is great when he has something to prove, especially in meaningless regular season games.
New England Patriots -3, 43.5 vs Miami Dolphins
Kansas City Chiefs -6, 54 vs. Cleveland Browns
LA Rams -7.5, 47 vs Chicago Bears
Baltimore Ravens -5.5, 50.5 @ Las Vegas
I feel compelled to make a pick on the first Monday Night game of the year, I will take Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to pour it on out in the desert.
