Kansas City Chiefs (0-0) at Arizona Cardinals (0-0) The Cardinals are one of my top picks to regress this season. They went 11-6 last season, but needed a +12 turnover margin to get to that record, which is not predictive, and they ranked just 14th in overall efficiency, barely above…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins: 2022 Week 1 NFL Pick
New England Patriots (0-0) at Miami Dolphins (0-0) The Patriots are my top pick this week, for a number of reasons. For one, they are underdogs of 3.5 points, which is the line that covers most often, about 53.2% of the time historically. That’s not a coincidence. Games are decided…

Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-0) The Steelers have made the post-season in back-to-back years with records of 12-4 and 9-7-1 respectively, but, in order to do that, they’ve needed to go 7-2 and 8-2-1 in one score games in the two seasons respectively, which is highly unlikely to…

Baltimore Ravens (0-0) at New York Jets (0-0) Baltimore is one of my top Super Bowl sleepers, a year after missing the playoffs at 8-9 in an injury riddled 2021 season, following a 24-8 stretch from 2019-2020, but their chances of going all the way are going to depend largely…

Cleveland Browns (0-0) at Carolina Panthers (0-0) This is one of the tougher calls of the week for me. Even without Deshaun Watson, I have the Browns three points better than the Panthers in my roster rankings, possessing one of the league’s best rosters around the quarterback and a capable…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Washington Commanders: 2022 Week 1 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) at Washington Commanders (0-0) This line favors the Commanders at home by 2.5, suggesting the odds makers view these teams as roughly even. In my season preview, I have the Commanders winning nine games and the Jaguars winning five, so I think this line undervalues Washington. Jacksonville…

Buffalo Bills (0-0) at Los Angeles Rams (0-0) The Rams are defending Super Bowl champions, but instead it’s the Bills getting the majority of the hype coming into this game, entering the season as odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl and entering this week one game in Los…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns 2022 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback For about two decades after the Browns returned to the NFL in 1999, they were consistently among the worst teams in the league. From 1999-2017, the Browns went just 88-216, 25 games worse than any team over that stretch, culminating in the worst two-year stretch in modern NFL history,…
