The Bengals constant drafting and collecting offensive talent is great, however, they haven’t done much to shore up their OL or defensive side of the ball. Can they get it together as +3 underdogs in their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings? Check out Loot’s preview and Week 1 free NFL pick here!
Two teams with a whole lot of question marks meet up in Week 1 when the Seattle Seahawks travel to Indy to play the Colts. If there were a game this weekend to avoid, this would be the matchup! Nonetheless, Loot takes his best shot at predicting the cover!

The Bruins steamrolled Hawaii in their season opener 44-10. The real test starts Saturday when they host the 16th ranked Louisiana State Tigers as +3.5 home underdogs.

The general betting public loves Patrick Mahomes. Heck, I love Patrick Mahomes! However, when it comes to betting, the bookies know we all want to bet him and Andy Reid so we run into an issue where their point spreads, season win total and Super Bowl odds tend to be a bit inflated. See why Loot thinks KC is a bad bet this season.
The Los Angeles Chargers are receiving quite a bit of hype with Brandon Staley taking over for an ineffective Anthony Lynn.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders landed a highly regarded QB in Oregon transfer Tyler Shough. Houston is coming off a poor 2020, but should be better this year.

The Oklahoma sooners kick off their 2021 college football season with a creampuff matchup against the Tulane Green Wave. They’re likely to win the game, but can they cover the huge 26.5 point spread? Get Loot’s Okl/Tul ATS pick here!
With Dak Prescott coming off a serious injury and the Cowboy’s defense potentially still being questionable, sharp bettors are fading “America’s Team” when it comes to their season wins total. On the flip side, a case can be made for an over play based on their favorable strength of schedule.
