Tennessee Titans (0-0) at Denver Broncos (0-0) The Titans got a big boost on the eve of the season, signing edge defender Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal to give them a much needed boost on the edge. The Broncos, on the other end, were dealt a crippling blow on…

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0) at New Orleans Saints (0-0) This is the most anticipated game of the week, with Tom Brady making his debut with the Buccaneers after two legendary decades in New England, squaring off against fellow future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints,…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Rams: 2020 Week 1 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (0-0) at Los Angeles Rams (0-0) The Cowboys finished last season just 8-8, but that was primarily due to terrible luck in close games, going 0-5 in games decided by a touchdown or less. They finished 6th in point differential at +113 and 4th in first down rate…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills: 2020 Week 1 NFL Pick
New York Jets (0-0) at Buffalo Bills (0-0) I am not as high on the Bills as most, as their success last season came almost entirely against easier opponents and now they have a much tougher schedule, but I’m surprised they are only 6.5 point home favorites over the Jets.…

Miami Dolphins (0-0) at New England Patriots (0-0) These two teams went in opposite directions talent wise this off-season.

Chicago Bears (0-0) at Detroit Lions (0-0) The Bears won 12 games in 2018 on the strength of a defense that led the NFL in first down rate allowed, but in 2019 they fell to just 8-8 and were noticeably worse on both sides of the ball. Part of it…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars: 2020 Week 1 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (0-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) This is the biggest line of the opening week, with the Colts favored by 8 points on the road in Jacksonville, but I don’t think this line is high enough. Not only will the Jaguars barely have any homefield advantage with limited fans,…

Green Bay Packers (0-0) at Minnesota Vikings (0-0) When these two teams met last season, the Packers won both matchups, outscoring the Vikings by 18 points and winning the first down rate battle by 10.32% between the two games. The Packers also won more games overall, winning the NFC North…

Arizona Cardinals (0-0) at San Francisco 49ers (0-0) Every year there is at least one team that proves to be overhyped. The Cardinals seem like the leading candidate going into this season. Much of their hype is based around second year quarterback Kyler Murray, who many are expecting will follow…
