NFL Football Picks

I’m not a huge trends guy, but I’ll be fading a pretty nasty one this week. The Lions are 4-24 straight up vs. NFC West teams since 1992. See my reasons why in this article!

All we heard in the media this week was how the Texans got “nothing” in return from Seattle for Clowney. The real news is that Houston added OL Laremy Tunsil, which was a huge upgrade to their offensive line. Seven points is a TON to be getting in Week 1 on Monday Night Football. This bet screams value! Read on to see which side of the spread line Ted is playing.

The Philadelphia Eagles have a lot going for them this season. Wentz is back, their line play is exceptional and the upgraded at multiple positions. The Redskins appear to be destined for mediocrity again this season and are already having quarterback controversy between Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins. The ‘Skins opener looks to be a potential disaster.

The Cincinnati Bengals struggled on the road at 2-6 last season, while the Seattle Seahawks, who enjoy one of the better home field advantages in the NFL, enjoyed a 6-2 record at Qwest Field. Most bettors are laying the 9.5 point spread with the Seahawks, but is that the right move? Read on to get Loot’s play.

The Rams finished second in the league in scoring last season and barring injuries should be a top-5 unit this season. The Panthers defense had an off year last season finishing out of the top in scoring defense, but they’ve made a lot of changes to the front seven and could easily finish as a top unit this season. Can they contain the Rams offense? Get Jay’s O/U pick.

The defending champion New England Patriots host the Steelers on Sunday night of Week 1 action. Both teams will be looking to replace arguably their best receiving option with WR Antonio Brown traded to Oakland and the retirement of Rob Gronkowski. The Pats are a six-point home favorite for this game with the total line on the board at most betting shops at 51 points. Read on to get Mann’s detailed analysis and suggested wager.

One of the biggest questions for this game is will the Chargers be over-confident for this game. Colts QB Jacoby Brissett is certainly not Andrew Luck, but he did play OK in 2017 when Luck was injured and should only move up. The Chargers will be without hold out RB Melvin Gordon and the back-ups leave a lot to be desired. Read on to get Keith’s prediction against the spread.

Two up and coming AFC teams will take to the field in Jacksonville in Week 1. Mahomes looked fantastic last season winning the MVP award and the Jags new QB Nick Foles looked real good in the playoffs for the Eagles. Can he pick off where he left off last season? Read on to get Loot’s take on the game and his ATS prediction.

Two undefeated teams hit the field of Gillette Stadium to battle it out in Week 4 of the preseason schedule. But will they? Most of the star players won’t even see the field tonight, but we do expect Giants QB who has looked good in the exhibition games to get a couple of series in. Read on to get our handicapper’s thoughts on how you should bet this game.
