Week 1 NFL picks are ubiquitous right about now so let’s throw ours into the hat. Online betting cappers need to know everyone’s picks and everyone’s insight, so as we get set to kickoff the NFL season, here are our Week 1 NFL picks:
Tennessee Titans @ Pittsburgh Steelers
This is a revenge game from Week 16 last year as the Titans took it to the Steelers. Now, on opening night, the Steelers return the favor. Chris Johnson and LenDale White get shut down while Kerry Collins is baited into mistakes.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Steelers -6
Miami Dolphins @ Atlanta Falcons
Falcons are overrated while the Dolphins are still underrated. Miami goes to the Georgiadome, plays a disciplined game and exposes the Falcons defense. Miami wins outright.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Dolphins +4
Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens
Chiefs just fired their offensive coordinator and starting quarterback Matt Cassel has a sprained MCL. Playing in Baltimore is not the place where you cure offensive issues.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Ravens -13
Philadelphia Eagles @ Carolina Panthers
Eagles are the popular pick but the Panthers were 8-0 at home last season. They’ll be able to run the ball against the Eagles, which means they’ll probably win.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Panthers +1
Denver Broncos @ Cincinnati Bengals
This is a statement game for the Cincinnati Bengals and Marvin Lewis. Their team is healthy now and they need to win these types of games if Lewis is to keep his job. Denver is a wreck and their defense won’t be able to do much on the road in Week 1.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Bengals -4
Minnesota Vikings @ Cleveland Browns
Trap alert! Vikings only a four-point favorite in Cleveland? Cleveland gets the job done outright. We’re not exactly sure how they do it, but this is a fishy line.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Browns +4
New York Jets @ Houston Texans
Don’t believe the Texans hype. The Jets defense is for real and they are going to stifle that supposedly awesome Texans offense. Jets squeak one out at Reliant Stadium.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Jets +4.5
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are a seven-point favorite in the sportsbook and, considering they dominate this series, why not? All they have to do is slow down Maurice Jones-Drew and pick apart a soft Jags defense. Take it to the house.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Colts -7
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers will keep it close for a quarter or so and then the Cowboys will pull away. What are your thoughts about statue Byron Leftwich going up against DeMarcus Ware?
Week 1 NFL Picks: Cowboys -6
San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL betting fans should note that the Cardinals are a much different team at home than they are on the road. San Francisco just doesn’t have the tools to match points with Arizona.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Cardinals -6.5
Washington Redskins @ New York Giants
The Redskins and Giants games are always close, so why would anyone lay the points? The Giants have looked shaky in the preseason and this game should be right around a field goal. Take the Redskins as they win this contest outright.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Redskins +6.5
St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are clearly the better team and their defense could be one of the best in the NFL. Look for them to shut down Steven Jackson and force the Rams to be one-dimensional on the road. That won’t work.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Seahawks -7
Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers
While all eyes are on the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North, keep an eye on the Packers. They are underrated bunch and are one of the youngest teams in the league. They’ll make a statement in Week 1.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Packers -3.5
Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
The Patriots are going to roll in this contest. With Tom Brady back in the lineup, they’re going to give the Bills a beating. The Bills offense has had a lot of problems in the preseason and their offensive line is a complete mess. Good luck to them matching points with one of the best offenses in the NFL.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Patriots -10.5
San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders defense is an absolute mess right now. In the preseason, they allowed an average of 192 rushing yards per game and now they have LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles coming to visit. Good luck.
Week 1 NFL Picks: Chargers -9.5
