nfl: week 1
It's finally football season, though it doesn't quite feel the same this fall.
Picking the Week 1 games is never an easy task. I think it's safe to say that
know one knows what the hell to expect this week. Will we see many low
scoring defensive games? Will we see a lack of emotion and adrenaline
from the players? I guess we should just all be happy we can bet on NFL
football this fall.
Here are Handicap Heroes favorite Week 1 picks:
NFL WEEK 1 EXPERT PICKS
week 1 nfl picks
HOU @ KC: KC -9 (-110), ML: KC (-420), O/U: 54.5
The defending champs open up against the Texans on Thursday Night Football. Last time these two teams
played was the AFC divisional round last year. The chiefs came back from a 24 point deficit and won the game with ease. Houston has issues defensively. Some would say that's not ideal when you are playing
Mahomes. No Tomahawk Chop from the fans at Arrowhead but the Chiefs will cover.
Pick: Kansas City: -9

NYJ @ BUF: BUF -6.5 (-110), ML: BUF (-280), O/U: 39
Buffalo will most likely win the division for the first time since Brady entered the league. Diggs is a nice addition to the offense (if he doesn't whine about getting the ball 30 times a game). We can all agree the Jets will be one of the worst teams again this year. What a shame the Bills Mafia will have to get shit faced and body slam each other through tables in their own homes.
Pick: Buffalo: -6

TB @ NO: NO -3.5 (-110), ML: NO (-175), O/U: 48
Tampa Bay Tom makes his NFC debut on America's Game Of The Week on Sunday afternoon. This could
very well be Drew Brees final year in the league. We will get two great games out of these teams this year.
Brady will have some minor growing pains with the new offense and organization. Brees has nearly the same offense as last year and the Saints have proven time and time again that they can score. Saints win, but you better believe the GOAT is going to come out firing.
Pick: Tampa Bay: +3.5

GB @ MIN: MIN -2.5 (-110), ML: MIN (-140), O/U: 45
Minnesota has had some big changes in the off season. The Vikings have lost both of their starting D-Backs, but gained strength on the defensive line with the addition of Yannick Ngakoue. They will miss Diggs more often than not in the passing game. The Pack failed to add additional weapons for Rodgers. Rodgers has more bad memories than good ones in U.S Bank Stadium (besides last year). These teams will battle it out for the division, but the Vikings will hop on Kirk Cousins back for the win on Sunday.
Pick: Minnesota: -2.5

DAL @ LAR: LAR +3 (-110), ML: DAL (-155), 0/U: 51.5
Who would have guessed the Cowboy's would be playing in the first Sunday Night Football match-up of the year? Oh that's right, everybody. Dallas had a really nice draft this year and Mike McCarthy is a MASSIVE upgrade at head coach. The Rams had a down year last year. Sean McVay is one of the best in the business and will have his team ready to roll on Sunday night. Dak seems to struggle against good defenses more often than not. Rams cover.
Pick: Los Angeles: +3
