Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts: 2016 Week 1 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (0-0) at Indianapolis Colts (0-0) This line is at 3, which suggests these two teams are even. I disagree. The Lions finished last season just 7-9, but won 6 of their final 8 games and it easily could have been 7 if not for the longest game winning…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at New Orleans Saints: 2016 Week 1 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (0-0) at New Orleans Saints (0-0) Almost every season, one team goes from out of the playoffs to a first round bye. The Raiders are my pick to do that this year, or at least come close. A young team that has drafted well over the past few…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles: 2016 Week 1 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (0-0) at Philadelphia Eagles (0-0) When the Eagles traded away Sam Bradford 8 days before the start of the season last Saturday, that dropped this spread from 6.5 or 7 to 3.5, where it still stands now. Trading away Bradford definitely hurts this team, as you hate switching…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks: 2016 Week 1 NFL Pick
Miami Dolphins (0-0) at Seattle Seahawks (0-0) Most of my top picks this week are underdogs, but here’s a favorite that seems to be undervalued for some reason. The Seahawks are 10.5 point favorites, which might seem like a lot, but it’s not when you consider how much better Seattle…

Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0) at Washington Redskins (0-0) Here’s another line I don’t understand. The Steelers are favored by 3 points on the road, which might not seem like a lot, but it means they have to win by more than 3 points to cover, and 1 in 4 games are…

Los Angeles Rams (0-0) at San Francisco 49ers (0-0) The 49ers were the worst team in the league last season, finishing dead last in rate of moving the chains differential. They managed to win 5 games, but just 1 of those 5 wins came by more than 6 points, while…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs: 2016 Week 1 NFL Pick
San Diego Chargers (0-0) at Kansas City Chiefs (0-0) The Chiefs are favored here by 6.5 points at home over the Chargers. If you took these two teams’ records from last season, that makes sense, as the Chargers won just 4 games and the Chiefs won 11. However, these numbers…

Carolina Panthers (0-0) at Denver Broncos (0-0) The 2016 NFL season starts exactly the same way the 2015 NFL season ended, with the Panthers facing the Broncos. Unlike last year, this is not the Super Bowl, but this game still could have major playoff implications and it’s an early litmus…
