NFL Football Picks

The Week 2 NFL matchup between the Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos is probably the worst game of the weekend to bet on. There just aren’t many advantages here. Darin takes his best crack at it and gives you his Wash/Den pick.

Bryce Young looked very pedestrian in his first NFL start. Oddsmakers have him and the Carolina Panthers as +3 home underdogs in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. See how NFL Handicapper Keth Allen is betting the NO/Car game!

Online sportsbooks have the Raiders -2.5. Many people will look at this game and measure the teams against their expectations, as opposed to the match up against each other. By an expectations-standard, the Browns have been far-better than the Raiders, but are they better than the Raiders overall? That’s a trickier question. Let’s try to answer that question and make our pick.

Bob Clark reviews the first three games for Indianapolis and Houston and focuses on strength of schedule before making his NFL pick. Bob also has a total play for this Sunday game.

Bob Clark anticipates a hard nosed, low scoring affair between two average offenses and two amazing defenses. Bookmakers have the over/under set at 41 points. Read Bob’s pick on the spread and total play.

Loot Levinson warns against overreacting to the Cowboys loss or the beatdown the Lions placed upon the New England Patriots. Loot analyzes the state of both teams and who will cover the spread in week 4.

The Cleveland Browns finally won a football game against you guessed it, the New York Jets. The Jets were also smoked at home at the hands of a divisional rival. If you told the Jets they would have the same record as the Pats going into week 4 they would probably have been pretty happy but instead they head to Jacksonville where sportsbooks have them pegged to lose by 8.

The Patriots have lost back-to-back games only nine times since Tom Brady took over as quarterback in 2001, and the fact that they were so clearly outplayed in both their previous games only adds another level of concern from an already hyper-reactionary fan and media base. See why Mike Mann believes the Pats will get it done and cover the -6.5.

After just three games, Atlanta’s defense has been decimated by injury. In week one, they lost Pro Bowl safety, Keanu Neal for the year. In week two the Birds lost Pro Bowl linebacker, Deon Jones and then this past Sunday against the Saints, the leader of the defense, Ricardo Allen, tore his Achilles tendon and will also miss the 2018-19 campaign. Tak McKinley is still “day to day.” Do the Falcons have enough to stop this Bengals team and cover the 6 point spread?

We know the major injury in Green Bay belongs to Aaron Rodgers and his busted-up knee. The offense has looked decent at times with the hobbled Rodgers but it is apparent that he cannot hit 6th gear. Ted makes his pick and prediction on a game where the betting lines suggests the Green Bay Gimp has enough to outscore Buffalo by 10.
