#3 DAZZLE ME (ML=5/1)
#1 SNOW BLOSSOM (ML=1/1)


DAZZLE ME - Taking a trip to a lower class level; has the ability to make her presence felt. Brown moves this horse here to Parx Racing from Monmouth Park. Looking at the horse's PPs, she has shown the ability to win on different ovals. SNOW BLOSSOM - I like to play this handicapping theory, a thoroughbred coming back off a solid race within the last 30 days. I like this animal. Should be familiar with this level since she ran against the same type last race out at Delaware Park.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 DISCREET CATHY (ML=5/2), #2 FREE COFFEE (ML=8/1),

DISCREET CATHY - Awfully hard to wager on this vulnerable equine when she hasn't been showing any indications of eagerness recently. I cannot play this continual non-winner. Gets the task completed infrequently. FREE COFFEE - Hard to take this horse at the price after the finish position (fifth) in the last affair.





STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Putting our cash on #3 DAZZLE ME to win. Have to have odds of at least 9/5 or better though

# 4 JUSTANOTHER BOB 6/5




# 1 EIGHTY EIGHT 2/1




# 2 MARRY ME NEXT 3/1




JUSTANOTHER BOB looks to be a respectable contender. His 64 average has this gelding with among the most competitive speed figures here. Should definitely be given a chance in this event if only for the competitive Equibase Speed Figure posted in the last affair. Has been moving in the most competitive company of the field recently. EIGHTY EIGHT - Ought to be carefully examined based on the quite good Equibase Speed Figure posted in the last outing. I like the rider on this gelding - competitive chance to win the affair. MARRY ME NEXT - Has to be given a chance - I like the figures from the last outing.

#3 MISS MI MI (ML=9/2)
#7 WHAT TO EXPECT (ML=4/1)


MISS MI MI - Have to make this filly a solid contender; she comes off a solid effort on Aug 23rd. We have lots of early speed with this mount. She could wire this field. 58-60-62 are last three speed figures. Improving each time out is something she should do again right here. WHAT TO EXPECT - Look at this mare's PP lines. With each race she keeps getting closer. This mare is in excellent physical condition right now. Ran first last race out and comes back promptly. This one has increased her speed ratings from a fig of 50 to 54 to 63 in a row.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 RESONATE (ML=6/5), #6 LOVE THAT CHICK (ML=7/2), #5 VERY CHARMING (ML=6/1),

RESONATE - This pony hasn't been on the track since Aug 16th. Not even any works. There may be a set back this time around, after the physical exertion last race out. LOVE THAT CHICK - Not likely that this horse will finish better than she did last time out when ending up fifth. The speed fig last out doesn't fit very well in this event when I look at the class rating of today's event. Mark this thoroughbred as a likely underpriced equine. VERY CHARMING - Hard to back any equine with declining speed ratings of 66/63/53.

#3 MISS MI MI is the play if we get odds of 7/5 or better

# 4 CASH OR CARD 1/2




# 1 BYE Y'ALL 8/1




# 2 ROLLIN SEVENS 7/2




My choice in this race is CASH OR CARD. He has put up very good figures under today's conditions and should fare well versus this field. Has competitive speed figures and has to be considered for a wager for this race. Had one of the most competitive speed figures of this group in his last outing. BYE Y'ALL - Will most likely go to the lead and may never look back. She has been running strongly and the speed figures are among the best in this group. ROLLIN SEVENS - Has been running in the most competitive company of the group lately. It's a good signal that Duncan is using Nelson on this entrant.

Brian’s 9* NFL Absolute Cover

Kansas City vs. Jacksonville, 09/08/2019 13:00 EDT

Point Spread: +4/-115 Jacksonville

Sportsbook:
Bodog (http://record.bettingpartners.com/_pO1vV3scjG8UbyPgnoR23mNd7ZgqdRLk/1/)

Jacksonville was a team that burned me numerous times last season but I am back on them week 1 as they present a tremendous level of value my only worry is that they come out rusty like the Bears here. Jaguars have a leader at QB and I think you will notice a big difference on both sides of the ball as it will help their stoudt defense as well. Jags will want to put last season behind them and I love home dogs here as I believe Jags get this outrite but we will take the points for good measure.

NFL | Giants vs Cowboys
Play on: Cowboys -7 -114 at GTBets

This is a Free NFL play on Dallas.

The Cowboys start the season at home versus the Giants, and a seven point spread seems a little low. Dallas has swept the season series in each of the last two years, and the Giants are in the middle of a rebuild. Coming off an 5-11 season, the Giants are still going with Eli Manning at quarterback. It might not take long for the fans to call for Daniel Jones. New York has failed to cover in six of their last eight season openers, and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four versus Dallas. The Cowboys have covered in four straight against division rivals, and this looks like a potential for a blowout.

Take DAL.

Rams vs. Panthers

1* Free Pick on Panthers +3 -120

I really like the value here with Carolina as a home dog against the Rams. I get the hype around Los Angeles after they made it all the way to the Super Bowl last year and have their core guys back, but I have my concerns.

More times than not the team that loses in the big game the previous year really has a hard time resetting the clock and focusing on the new year. Hard to blame them after coming 1-game from the ultimate goal.

I'm not saying the Rams will be bad, but they definitely got a much bigger target on their back. I think Belichick showed how you can contain Goff in McVay's offense and we don't exactly know how healthy Todd Gurley is. No question the offense wasn't as good when he wasn't playing at an elite level.

Panthers are also a team that I think could be a serious contender in the NFC. I like the upgrades Carolina had on the defensive side of the ball and Cam Newton is back healthy. Newton really looked good in Norv Turner's offense prior to getting hurt. I like the Panthers to win this game outright, but I'll take the field goal for some added insurance. Take Carolina!

Bills vs. Jets

1 Unit FREE PLAY on New York Jets -2.5

The New York Jets are pretty cheap as only 2.5-point favorites at home against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. I expect the Jets to be one of the most improved teams in the NFL. Their offense took off in December last year as Sam Darnold had the best QBR of any quarterback in the NFL in the last four weeks. Darnold should be much better in Year 2. It helps that the Jets signed Le’Veon Bell to give themselves a running game. And getting his best WR in Robby Anderson back healthy is a big boost. The Bills have a good defense, but they had one of the worst offenses in the NFL last year. I don’t see that changing this season as they have a bunch of no-name receivers and running backs for QB Josh Allen. The Bills are 14-28 ATS in their last 42 games as a road dog of 3 points or less. Give me the Jets.

Sunday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Falcons at Vikings (-4/47), 1 p.m. ET: Running back Dalvin Cook’s return to full strength will be the x-factor set to separate the Vikings from the elite team they were in 2017 (13-3) and the mediocre 8-7-1 unit they were last year. Although he only played in four games as a rookie before tearing his ACL and got into 10 last season, he’s showing off the burst that he brought into the league and should give the offense the boost it was missing in scoring just 10 or fewer points in three of the last five. Receiver Stefon Diggs missed practice earlier in the week but is expected to play through a hamstring issue. Corner Mike Hughes, who shined as a rookie, is coming off a knee injury and may be the only player not ready to go in this opener.

Atlanta is mostly healthy too, but may have to start a rookie at right tackle in late first-round pick Kaleb McGary, who dealt with an injury in camp, so it is dealing with uncertainty up front. WR Julio Jones is expected to play despite his contract situation remaining unsettled. The Falcons lost four of their first five last season and have never defeated Minnesota in September, losing all eight all-time meetings. The Vikings went just 5-3 SU (4-3-1 ATS) at home last season after putting together a 9-1 run (7-3 ATS) spanning the end of the US Bank Stadium’s first season and its second.

Redskins at Eagles (-10/45), 1 p.m. ET: Carson Wentz will play in his first game since being shelved last December and didn’t get in during the preseason. Per Philly observers, he’s looked sharp in joint practices and looks noticeably leaner, losing the brace he was playing with to help protect him last season after his ACL surgery. He’ll have two new running backs to hand off to with Bears import Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders taking over. New deep threat Desean Jackson has returned to Eagles nation and is expected to play after dealing with a hand issue late in the preseason.

Colt McCoy was the frontrunner to start this one when camp began but couldn’t get on the field to prepare and is still strengthening his leg. Case Keenum gets the nod and will work with a receiving corps featuring four players whose next catch will be their first as pros. Paul Richardson and rookie third-round pick Terry McLaurin are expected to be his top targets at wideout. Tight end Jordan Reed should play despite coming off a concussion. Derrius Guice won the running back job over Adrian Peterson, but both are worse off for tackle Trent Williams’ continued holdout. Philadelphia has won the last four meetings between these NFC East rivals, capturing each by double-digits.

Bills at Jets (-3/41.5), 1 p.m. ET: Sam Darnold and Josh Allen will be tied together as long as they’re at the helm for their respective teams. They were the second and third quarterbacks taken behind Baker Mayfield in the 2018 draft and started against one another in Week 14 last December. Darnold picked up the win while Allen ran for over 100 yards and threw for more than 200. Combined, they threw three picks. Since both teams were going nowhere 10 months ago, this contest will have a completely different feel as the season opener.

The Adam Gase era begins against a Greg McDermott’s Bills, who beat Miami in three of four head-to-head meetings over the past two seasons but stunningly cut LeSean McCoy in the preseason, moving forward with veterans Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon in addition to rookie Devin Singletary. Le’Veon Bell joining the Jets is even bigger news that Gase’s hiring and should further aid Darnold’s progression. The ‘over’ is 4-2 in the last six meetings between these teams, cashing in each of the last three games.

Ravens (-6.5/39.5) at Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET: Baltimore has won its last three season openers under John Harbaugh by a combined score of 80-10 and has produced victories in eight of 11 under their long-tenured head coach. Flacco started every one of those, capturing the first as a rookie, but he’s set to debut under center for the Broncos on Monday night.

South Florida native Lamar Jackson looks to improve on a 6-1 regular-season record as the Ravens’ starter and will look to ruin Brian Flores’ coaching debut with the Dolphins. Miami’s personnel moves point to it tanking for Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa this season, and that includes riding with veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick over Josh Rosen. RB Kenyan Drake is expected to get a lot of touches after being cleared from a foot injury that has bothered him the past few weeks. After dealing star left tackle Laremy Tunsil, Julien Davenport is likely to replace him on Miami’s new-look offensive line. The Ravens will have everyone on the roster available so long as rookie WR “Hollywood” Brown plays through a foot issue. This is a homecoming game for him too.

Chiefs (-3.5/51.5) at Jaguars, 1 p.m. ET: Kansas City WR Tyreek Hill avoided suspension and now gets another matchup with Jalen Ramsey, who called him a “return specialist” last season and held him to just four catches and 61 yards when they matched up for the first time last season. Ramsey is expected to shadow him throughout the field, so reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes should have the option to again feature Travis Kelce and take new toy LeSean McCoy out for a spin.

Jacksonville lost at Arrowhead 30-14 last Oct. 7 in a game where former starter Blake Bortles was intercepted four times. Former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles was acquired in the offseason and looks to pull off a home upset to set the tone for a big year. After limited action in the preseason, we’ll finally get to see him debut despite abdominal soreness. Left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and his backup, Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring), appeared on this week’s injury report. The Chiefs are 5-1 in openers under Andy Reid, winning the last four. Four of those victories have come on the road, including the very first, a 28-2 rout in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have lost their last four matchups against Kansas City, last winning in 2009.

Titans at Browns (-5/45.5), 1 p.m. ET: Baker Mayfield looks to build on a spectacular rookie season by helping the Browns open a season with a victory for the first time 2004 after watching last season’s 20-20 tie against Pittsburgh as Tyrod Taylor’s backup in his debut. A lot has transpired over the past 12 months and new weapons Odell Beckham, Jr. and Kareem Hunt will be deployed here to try and help Mayfield move the ball against one of the NFL’s most talented secondaries. ODB is reportedly still dealing with a hip issue but should debut for the Browns. Safeties Kevin Byard and Kenny Vaccaro could ruin the party in Cleveland, where its team being favored at home was news less than a year ago.

Marcus Mariota held off the charge of the newly acquired Ryan Tannehill and has a new coordinator calling the shots with Arthur Smith replacing current Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. The game plan is expected to be heavy on ball control and running back, who broke out as a 1,000-yard rusher for the first time, scoring 12 touchdowns. He’ll be running behind a line that will have tackle Jack Conklin in the mix but could be without projected starting right guard Kevin Pamphile.

Rams (-1.5/50) at Panthers, 1 p.m. ET: Cam Newton has come through shoulder surgery and feels he’s sufficiently healed from a foot injury suffered in the third preseason game, so the Panthers’ offense should have some bite since he’ll be able to throw the ball downfield for a change. TE Greg Olson is also healthy, WR Curtis Samuel is expected to take a step forward and Christian McCaffrey emerged as one of the league’s best weapons, so Norv Turner has plenty to work with as he looks to match wits with Sean McVay.

The Rams gave Jared Goff $110 million guaranteed this past week, extending him in the hopes he’ll have more productive Super Bowls ahead of him. Todd Gurley, whose lack of involvement in the most recent NFL title game due to a knee injury was glaring, isn’t going to be on a pitch count as he attempts to pick up where he left off pre-injury. Carolina has won four of its past five season openers. The Rams went 7-2 SU (5-4 ATS) on the road last season.

Bengals at Seahawks (-9.5/44), 4:05 p.m. ET: With A.J. Green out for at least another month, the Bengals have had to install new head coach Zac Taylor’s offense with key receivers sidelined. The expectation is that they’ll unveil elements of his up-tempo offense that should feature backs Joe Mixon, Giovani Bernard and Samaje Perine. Undrafted rookie Damion Willis will fill in for Green opposite Tyler Boyd and top tackle Cordy Glenn could be sidelined with a concussion that would make an already unstable offensive line situation even worse.

Pete Carroll hasn’t gotten enough credit for rebuilding Seattle’s defense on the run the way he has, but they’ll be tested to start the season with games against the Steelers, Saints, Rams and Browns. We’ll see whether newcomers like Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah, Al Woods and rookies L.J. Collier and Marquise Blair hit the ground running. Offensively, Russell Wilson has a new red-zone weapon in second-round pick D.K. Metcalf. The Seahawks have won 10 straight home openers, the last nine under Carroll, and have given up 16 or fewer points in all of them.

Colts at Chargers (-6.5/44.5), 4:05 p.m. ET: The Colts were just a three-point underdog when this line was released and Andrew Luck’s inclusion was still expected. After announcing his retirement, L.A. became a much heavier favorite despite the increasing likelihood that star RB Melvin Gordon wouldn’t be involved either. Still holding out and likely to be traded, Gordon will be absent as Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson try to replicate his production.

Indianapolis won’t find it as simple to replace Luck, although Jacoby Brissett has plenty of experience doing so after starting most of 2017. The Colts went 4-11 with him as the starter and saw him complete just two passes for two yards last season, but they’re hopeful that he can help salvage the season. Another former Pats backup, Brian Hoyer, will be the No. 2. The Chargers are 10-6 SU (6-10 ATS) at the Stub Hub Center, struggling to find a true homefield advantage in a building where opposing fans often outnumber those rooting for L.A. This will be the Colts’ first visit to this stadium after losing three of four in San Diego over the past 15 years.

49ers at Bucs (-1.5/50.5), 4:05 p.m. ET: Jimmy Garoppolo had a miserable preseason, both in games he played and in practices where he battled turnover issues. Coming off a torn ACL, he’s having trouble getting his timing back and could have a difficult time getting settled in if the Bucs are able to get after him as Todd Bowles debuts as Bruce Arians’ defensive coordinator. Rookie top pick Devin White debuts next to Lavonte David, who has been cleared to play after a knee issue.

Last year’s first-rounder, Vita Vea, also practiced in full. The 49ers will have center Weston Richburg available in addition to Joe Staley up front, but their defense could have issues in the back with Jimmie Ward (hand), Jason Verrett (ankle) and K’Waun Williams (knee) all questionable. No. 2 overall pick Nick Bosa is likely to debut as a third-down pass rusher despite being sidelined for weeks by a high ankle sprain. Since losing his first start, Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston has won three straight openers.

Lions (-2.5/46) at Cardinals, 4:25 p.m. ET: For months, we’ve heard all about the Cardinals working in secret to get top pick Kyler Murray up to speed running Kliff Kingsbury’s high-octane offense. Can a college offense flourish in the NFL? Unsurprisingly, Kingsbury didn’t divulge much during the preseason, putting together vanilla game plans and essentially hiding how far along Arizona really is in installing his concepts in Year 1 of a very interesting experiment. The Lions open their second season under former Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, who has had months to decipher what might be coming in Glendale on Sunday by combing through Texas Tech and Oklahoma film. It’s certainly not ideal, but he should be prepared for what should be a chess match.

The Lions added Arizona training camp backup QB Charles Kanoff to their practice squad, hoping to seek further insight into what might be coming. Lions standout linebacker Jarrad Davis is questionable with an ankle injury while Arizona could be without LB Hassan Riddick. Cards’ right tackle Marcus Gilbert and Detroit center Frank Ragnow are expected to play through lower body injuries. If Matthew Stafford is coaxed into a shootout, he’ll be working against a secondary missing top corners Patrick Peterson (suspension) and Robert Alford (broken leg).

Giants at Cowboys (-7/45.5), 4:25 p.m. ET: Ezekiel Elliott probably won’t see his usual workload after just returning this week after signing a six-year $90 million extension, but he’ll start and is expected to have enough juice to help Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper fuel Dallas’ offense. Jason Witten is making his return to the NFL and Randall Cobb debuts. It remains to be seen how everything comes together since there hasn’t been much time devoted to working as a unit given Elliott’s holdout and Cooper’s heel injury. The Cowboys defense also has a few question with Robert Quinn suspended and Randy Gregory still not reinstated. New York will have Eli Manning at the controls for at least one more season opener as it looks to turn the page from the Odell era.

The Giants have dropped seven of their last eight openers and have dropped nine of 12 against the Cowboys, including four in succession. New York has won only one of its last six at AT&T Stadium, winning in Week 1 of 2016 thanks to a late TD pass from Manning to the now-retired Victor Cruz. We’ll see whether New York has solved its offensive line woes. It should help matters that new right tackle Mike Remmers (illness) is expected to play next to new right guard Kevin Zeitler.

Steelers at Patriots (-5.5/49.5), 8:20 p.m. ET: Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger will both be Hall of Famers and have eight Super Bowl wins between them but there’s an obvious pecking order that has really shone through in Foxboro. Although Pittsburgh won last season’s meeting in Week 15 last December, Brady has won all five games he’s played in against the Steelers at Gillette Stadium, throwing 18 touchdowns without being intercepted.

The 42-year-old Brady led New England to a 28-21 win over Pittsburgh in Week 1 of the ’15 season and has won three of his last four openers. He’ll have Demariyus Thomas as a target in addition to the recently reinstated Josh Gordon but Julian Edelman should remain his security blanket with Rob Gronkowski gone. Roethlisberger is expected to ride with Juju Smith-Schuster as his go-to with the trifling Antonio Brown causing headaches with the Raiders. With James Conner back, expect Pittsburgh to try and shorten the game by running the ball and attempting to control time of possession.

Brady should be able to excel through the air by picking on the fact the Steelers will have to start an inexperienced free safety in AAF product Kameron Kelly, who should start with Sean Davis unlikely to return from an ankle injury.

NFL

Week 1

Atlanta @ Minnesota (-4)— Under Zimmer, Minnesota is 22-7-1 vs spread as a home favorite, 16-2-1 outside NFC North. Vikings won last three series games; Falcons won three of last five visits to the Twin Cities. Last two years, Atlanta is 4-12 vs spread on road, 1-6 as a road underdog; they’re 6-14 vs spread n last 20 non-division games. Falcons won three of last four road openers; they split last eight season openers. Five of their last six RO’s stayed under. Minnesota won four of last five season openers; they won/covered their last four home openers- Vikings’ last five HO’s stayed under. Minnesota struggled to find a kicker this summer; they traded a 5th-round pick for a kicker, then cut him three weeks later.

Washington @ Philadelphia (-8.5)— Keenum is on his 4th team in four years; he started 39 games (21-18) the last three years. Eagles won last four series games, all by 10+ points; Skins lost last two visits here, 34-24/28-13. Since 2012, Iggles are 7-13-1 vs spread in NFC East home games; under Pederson, Philly is 8-8-1 as a HF (2-6 LY). Last three years, Redskins are 11-8 vs spread as a road underdog- they covered once in last six NFC East road games. Washington snapped a 5-game skid on Opening Day LY; they won last three road openers. Over is 7-3 in their last ten RO’s. Philly started 1-0 in seven of last eight seasons; they won four of last five home openers (under 4-1). Redskins’ LT Williams is holding out; thats a problem.

Buffalo at Jets (-3)— Teams split eight meetings last four years, going 2-2 in each stadium; average total in last three meetings is 52. Gase lost three of last four games vs Bills when he was in Miami. Jets won six of their last eight home openers; since ’13, they’re 16-8-2 as a home underdog. Over last decade, Gang Green is 11-3 as an AFC East home dog. Since 2014, Buffalo is 2-6-1 vs spread as a road favorite; they’re opening on road for first time in five years. Over last decade, Bills are 1-3 vs spread as an RF in AFC East road games. Bills lost last three road openers, scoring 7-3-3 points. Gase was 7-3-1 as a home underdog with the Dolphins. Jets picked up the kicker Minnesota cut, so they’re struggling to find a kicker, too.

Baltimore (-4.5) @ Miami— Miami traded LT Tunsil and two other starters for mostly draft picks, so they’ve already given up on this year, like Oakland did LY. Ravens won last three Week 1 games by combined score of 80-10; they’re 7-4 vs spread in last 11 road openers. Baltimore won last two games wth Miami by a combined score of 78-6, with last meeting in ’17. Since 2013, Baltimore is 6-11-1 as a road favorite. Over is 8-3-1 in their last dozen RO’s.

San Francisco @ Tampa Bay (-1)— When Arians was in Arizona, he won his last six meetings with SF. Last four years, 49ers are 5-27 SU on road; they’re 8-12 vs spread in last 20 road tilts outside NFC West. Over last five years, Bucs are 16-24 vs spread at home. 49ers lost last four road openers (1-3 vs spread), losing by average of 13.8 ppg; four of their last six road openers stayed under. Tampa Bay won its last two Week 1 games, scoring 31-48 points; they didn’t play in Week 1 in 2017 because of a hurricane. Arians was 2-3 in openers while he was Arizona’s coach. Keeping an eye out to see if the hurricane impacts life in the Tampa Bay area.

Kansas City (-3.5) @ Jacksonville— Chiefs won last four season openers; they covered five of last six road openers. Over is 5-3 in their last eight RO’s. Since ’13, KC is 15-7 vs spread as road favorites, 8-4 outside AFC West. KC won last four series games, pounding Jags 30-14 (-3) at home LY- they’re 2-4 SU in six visits here, with last visit in ‘13. Under Marrone, Jaguars are 6-4 as home underdogs, after being 10-24-1 from 2009-15. Jacksonville won its last two season openers, but lost six of last seven home openers- they’re 3-9 vs spread in 12 HO’s. Four of their last five home openers went over.

Tennessee @ Cleveland (-5.5)— Lot of pressure on Browns; they’re actually favored to win AFC North. Since re-joining NFL in 1999, Browns are 1-18-1 SU in Week 1; they tied Steelers in LY’s opener. Cleveland did cover five of last seven home openers. Tennessee beat Browns last two years, by total of five points- they nipped Cleveland 12-9 in OT here LY. Titans lost last three season openers, but won/covered five of last six road openers. Over last nine years, Browns are 7-14-2 as a HF, 6-10-2 outside AFC North- over last three years, they’re 1-3 ATS when favored. Tennessee was 6-4 vs spread as an underdog LY, in Vrabel’s first year as HC.

Carolina won its last five home openers, allowing 8-3 points last two years; they won four of last five season openers. Under is 5-1 in their last six HO’s. Carolina won six of last seven series games, but teams haven’t met in McVay era. Rams’ lost last three visits here, with last win 38-32 in 2001. Since 2003, Super Bowl loser is 3-13 vs spread in its first game the next season.

Detroit (-1.5) @ Arizona— Rookie head coach, rookie QB; Cardinals are a great unknown. Lions beat Arizona last two years, after losing previous seven meetings. Last five years, Lions are 11-4-4 vs spread when laying 3 or fewer points; they were 5-0 vs spread LY in non-divisional road games. Last three years, Cardinals are 8-16 SU at home; since 2013, Redbirds are 18-11-1 vs spread in non-divisional home games. Detroit started six of last eight seasons 1-0; Lions covered last three road openers; over is 9-4-1 in their last 14.

New coaches went 0-7 SU (1-6 ATS) in Week 1 LY, after they were 17-10 SU from 2014-17.

Indianapolis @ Chargers (-7)— Line jumped after Andrew Luck retired; Brissett was 4-11 as a starter for the ’17 Colts. Last five years, Chargers are 13-25 vs spread at home, whether it be San Diego or Carson, 11-14 outside AFC West. Chargers won six of last eight meetings, taking pair of playoff wins over Indy in 2007-08. Teams haven’t met in California since 2013. Last four years, Colts are 11-9 vs spread as non-division road underdog. Colts lost seven of last nine road openers; they’ve started last five seasons 0-1. Indy’s last three season openers went over. LA lost its two home openers in Carson after winning six of last seven in San Diego; 13 of their last 16 HO’s went over. Bolts started last three seasons 0-1.

Giants @ Dallas (-7.5)— Giants lost seven of last eight season openers; they’re playing road opener in Dallas for 6th time in last seven years. NY is 2-7 in last nine RO’s overall, 1-4 in last five RO’s here- their last three RO’s stayed under. Cowboys are 4-0 vs Big Blue last two years, winning 19-3/20-13 here. Dallas won six of last eight home openers; they split last ten season openers, with four of last five staying under. Last couple years, Giants are 10-4 vs spread as road underdogs, but only 2-3 in NFC East games. Since 2010, Cowboys are 9-22-1 vs spread when laying points in divisional home games. RB Elliott is still holding out, which is a problem for the Dallas offense.

Pittsburgh @ New England (-6)— Pitt opens on road for 5th straight year; since 1997, Steelers are 1-8-1 vs spread when an underdog in their road opener; five of their last six RO’s stayed under. Patriots won 15 of last 17 home openers, but are 2-4-1 vs spread in last seven (under 5-2). NE started 13 of last 15 seasons 1-0, losing in ’14/’17. Patriots won five of last six series games; Pitt lost last three visits here, with last win at NE in 2008. Over last decade, Steelers are 18-11-1 vs spread as road underdog, 5-0 last three years; they’re 25-15-2 vs spread in last 42 games as a single digit underdog. Since 2013, Patriots are 28-13-3 as home favorites, 17-8-1 outside AFC East. Last five Super Bowl champs are 3-1-1 vs spread in their season opener the next year.

Houston @ New Orleans (-7)— Saints started last five seasons 0-1; NO lost its last four home openers and were favored in three of them- last three went over total, with Saints giving up 35-36-48 points. Since 2014, New Orleans is 13-20-1 as a home favorite, 8-13-1 outside NFC South. Home side won all four series games; Texans lost 31-10/40-33 in their visits here. Under O’Brien, Houston is 14-16-1 as road underdogs (3-1 LY)- they covered six of last eight games as a non-divisional road dog. Texans lost three of last four road openers (under 4-0); in franchise history, they’re 4-8 vs spread in RO’s. Houston fortified QB Watson’s blindside by trading for LT Tunsil.

Denver @ Oakland (-2.5)— Broncos are opening on road for first time since 2010; they won last seven season openers, but obviously, all those were in Denver. New coach, new QB for Denver, which over last nine years is 4-12 vs spread as an AFC West road underdog. Over last decade, Oakland is 13-18 as a home favorite. Broncos are 7-8 in last 15 road openers, with three of last four going over total. Raiders lost four of last five home openers; since 2003, they’re 4-12 vs spread in HO’s, with four of last five going over. Teams split season series last four years; Raiders lost six of last seven visits here, dropping last three, by 1-6-18 points. This is likely Raiders’ last home opener in Oakland, with Las Vegas move on deck in 2020.

Early in the NFL season, I’m looking to bet against the very worst teams in the league; before the markets catch up to how bad they actually are. And the Washington Redskins absolutely deserve to be on that ‘bet-against’ list. No team in the league has a worse QB situation than the Redskins coming into Week 1. Their offensive line is a bottom tier unit, especially without starting pro bowl tackle Trent Williams. Washington isn’t loaded with playmakers. Their pass rush is limited at best; their secondary suspect. Head coach Jay Gruden is favored to be the first coach fired this season. Washington lost both meetings with Philly last year, non-competitive in defeat: 28-13 and 24-0. They lost by double digits to the Eagles twice in 2017 as well. And with Carson Wentz sitting all preseason, don’t expect the Eagles to take their foot off the gas with a lead here. Bet it now – this line is only going up between now and kickoff. Take the Eagles.

Indy’s post-Andrew Luck plight is a bit more involved than simply comparing 2018’s playoff run to the last season Luck missed in 2017, a 4-12 mess when the Chuck Pagano regime was on its last legs and new GM Chris Ballard had just begun his roster rebuild. That was also before the hire of HC Frank Reich, who proved a significant upgrade, and previous work suggests Jacoby Brissett can at least be a serviceable stop-gap at QB. The Bolts have Super Bowl hopes, but have taken some attrition in August, and yet to develop much home edge in Carson (2-6 vs. line as host LY).

Condensed thought: Ezekiel Elliot is a great player. But even the best running backs get overratd in terms of actual value. There's a discount in place here based on the apparent likelihood he won't play. I see true value on the Cowboys at this number. At -7 or better, this will definitely be on my Sunday card!

TONY WESTON

I'm going to lay the points with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, as I think the Indianapolis Colts will be a mess for the first few weeks. I get it, they've always prepared under the impression Andrew Luck would be injured - it's become the norm - but the fact he is done forever, it could have a lingering effect.

Like with all football plays in this point-spread range, I want you active in buying the half point. Anytime there is a favorite laying points between -7 and -7.5, you are to buy the half point down.

The Chargers have on three of the past four meetings, and lead the all-time series, 16-10. Even without Melvin Gordon in the lineup, the Bolts have a better offense and should be able to move the ball effectively against a defense that gave up 340 yards per game last season.

I'm not a big fan of Philip Rivers, never have been, but he's a much better investment than Jacoby Brissett. Rivers, who owns the longest active starting streak (208), joined Peyton Manning (14), Drew Brees (12) and Tom Brady (10) as the only quarterback ever with 10 or more seasons of 4,000+ yards passing.

I think he and Keenan Allen are going to have a big game against Indy's suspect secondary that I absolutely do not trust. Allen had 199 catches the last two season - the most in any Chargers' two-year span. In his only game against Indianapolis, he had nine receptions for 107 yards and one TD in a 19-9 win back in 2013.

Rivers will also target Travis Benjamin, who has eight receptions for 142 yards in three games versus Indy, and Mike Williams, who had 10 touchdown receptions in 2018 - the most by any Chargers.

Out of the backfield, Rivers also has running back Austin Ekeler, who has averaged 10.4 yards per catch the last two seasons, ranking fourth among NFL backs with at least 25 receptions. He has scored 8 of 11 career TDs at home, and his team has won five straight when he hits paydirt.

Lightning strikes in Los Angeles, as the Bolts rout the Colts.

Lions vs. Cardinals
Lions-2½ -110

A rookie QB with all that pressure playing against a seasoned vet in the first game of the 2019 NFL season? Sign me up. I’m going to fade the lions and their overhaul in week 1.

We get Kyler Murray vs. Matt Stafford on Sunday in Arizona and the Lions are a -2.5 road favorite. I know what you’re thinking. Bad idea Ray! I think the Lions are underrated and I don’t have a lot of confidence in Kliff Kingsbury…do you? There’s too many changes in Arizona, new offense, new defense, new QB, new coaches. Overhauls take time.

Matt Patricia is actually not who I’m talking about here. The Lions have a solid run game with Kerryon Johnson, an above average QB, decent WR’s (Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola in the slot) and I like the matchups on Sunday with Zona down 2 starting DB’s and starting a brand new O-Line.

Another plus for the Lions… They lead the all-time series 33-28-5 and they snapped a 7-game streak by beating the Cardinals in their last 2 matchups. The last one being a 17-3 win last year in Arizona with Slay returning an interception 67 yards for a touchdown.

Some trends to consider. The Lions are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games, and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 Week 1 Games. The Cardinals are 2-5 ATS in their last 7, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

The Lions being a road favorite is scaring a lot of people, and I don’t think we’ll see that much this year, but in Week 1 they only need to win by a FG.

JACK JONES
NFL | Sep 08, 2019
Titans vs. Browns

Jack’s Free Pick Sunday: Cleveland Browns -5.5

The Cleveland Browns are building this thing the right way. They are now finally a playoff contender as they are loaded on both offense and defense. They showed what they were capable of down the stretch last year in going 5-2 in their final seven games with one of their losses coming 24-26 at Baltimore with a playoff berth on the line for the Ravens.

Baker Mayfield threw for 3,725 yards with a 27-to-14 TD/INT ratio last year in his rookie season after taking over for an injured Tyrod Taylor. The offense really shined once Hue Jackson was fired and Freddie Kitchens took over. The players have bought into Kitchens and love playing for him.

This offense shined last year, but it is now loaded with some of the best weapons in the NFL. The Browns traded for Odell Beckham Jr. in the offseason. He is motivated and back with his former LSU teammate in Jarvis Landy, and these two will bring the best out in one another. TE David Njoku and RB Nick Chubb are both coming off big seasons as well, and the offensive line is one of the top units in the league.

The Browns didn’t live up to their potential defensively last year. That’s why they brought in S Morgan Burnett, DT Sheldon Richardson and DE Olivier Vernon in the offseason. The Browns were making life very difficult on opposing offenses in the preseason, and I believe that will carry over to the regular season. They have so many former first-round picks on this side of the ball and should live up to their potential in 2019.

The Titans are a team I’m very down on coming into 2019. Marcus Mariota has been a bust and hasn’t been able to stay healthy, either. The Titans managed just 19.4 points per game last year. It’s tough to win with such an inept offense. They have some of the worst weapons in the NFL. LT Taylor Lewan is serving a four-game suspension to start the season as well.

Browns fans are excited and will be rowdy for the season opener Sunday afternoon. The Browns went 5-2-1 at home last year. The Titans went 3-5 on the road and scored just 16.5 points per game away from home. The Titans are 20-46-4 ATS in their last 70 vs. AFC opponents. Bet the Browns Sunday.

1* on Baltimore Ravens -6.5

The Key: Offensive coordinator Greg Romans has been the dual-threat QB guru. He made Colin Kaepernick into a star in San Francisco. And he helped guide Tyrod Taylor to the playoffs with the Buffalo Bills a few years ago. Now Roman has the most talented QB he’s ever had in Lamar Jackson. This offense will be humming this season with a new system that opposing defenses won’t be prepared for early in the season. The Ravens take on what I believe to be the worst team in the NFL in the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. This team looks like they’re already tanking. Baltimore beat Miami 40-0 in their last meeting. The Ravens are 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Miami. The Ravens are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Week 1 games. Take Baltimore.

The NFL Comp Play is on Jacksonville at 1:00 eastern. The Jags fit a nice system here that plays on week 1 dogs from +3 to +6 if they were losing teams last season. This system cashes over 80% long term. The Jags will try and control the clock with a strong run game against a KC Defense that allowed over 34 points per game on the road last year. In fact teams that allowed 454+ points are 8-18 to the spread in week 1 . The Chiefs are 0-15 to the spread vs a non division team that has road loss revenge. Look for Jacksonville to keep this one close.

Colts (+) over Chargers

You know, I never really understood the 'panic' I heard from the media when Andrew Luck retired. Sure, he was great when he played, but how much of that was of late. Indianapolis won 10 games last season and now Jacoby Bassett who set all kinds of records at NC State and threw for 3,098 yards as a first time starter for the Colts and had 13 TD's and only seven Ints two seasons ago. What scares me about this matchup is the kind of pre-season LA (San Diego) had without showing much. Rivers will be great and the running game will suffice but the Colts will gallop here. Take INDIANAPOLIS!

BOB VALENTINO

Comp play for this first week of the season in the NFL is for the Falcons to keep things closer than expected in their game at U.S. Bank Stadium against the host Minnesota Vikings.

Both teams had major playoff aspirations when the season started last year, but the Falcons injury list was about as long as any list you could come up with last year, while the Vikings and newly-signed quarterback Kirk Cousins could never quite get in-synch.

Both teams are looking for turnarounds this new season, and my guess is the fact the Vikings boast a 20-6-2 against the spread mark since 2015 when favored at home, the oddsmakers have "puffed" up this price just a point, point-and-a-half too many.

Atlanta is healthy to start the season, and with Matt Ryan being able to use Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley at his disposal through the air, and a healthy Devonta Freeman in the backfield to run the ball, it appears there are just too many weapons for this Vikings defense to contain all game long.

While I do not think Minnesota is going to lose this home opener, I do believe they are favored by a point too many.

I can see this game being decided by between 1 to 3 points tops.

Live dog comp play on Atlanta plus the points.

DWAYNE CONNORS

One of the more interesting Game One matchups on this opening Sunday docket is the Detroit Lions visiting the Arizona Cardinals.

This is the third year in a row these NFL teams are playing one another, but quite obviously the first time they will be facing one another with Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray under center, and Kliff Kingsbury wearing the headset. Yes, the Arizona faithful will be itching to see Kingsbury's "Air Raid" offense get cranking, but based on an uneven preseason sneak-peek I am not so sure the Redbirds rack up the points on the State Farm Stadium scoreboard this afternoon.

Last year the teams played to a 17-3 final score in a game that the visiting Lions won late in the season, that game easily staying Under the total of 40 points. The total this time around is over a touchdown larger, but even with the potential for some offensive explosions on the gridiron, I do not feel this game will land Over the total.

Detroit comes into this one having closed last year Under the total in 7 straight games (the Cards game included), and Under in 9 of their final 10 last season.

Arizona went 6-2 Under the total in their 8 home games last season, and have held Under in 8 of their past 10 in Glendale, and 11 of 16 overall played at home since 2017. Yes, Kingsbury and Murray will make a splash this season, I just don't think it is going to come in colors in the very first game of their tenure together.

Play the Lions and the Cardinals to hold just Under the total on Sunday.

GAMES TO WATCH

Falcons at Vikings (-3 ½, 48) – 1:00 PM EST

Following consecutive playoff appearances which included the greatest Super Bowl meltdown of all-time, the Falcons slipped to 7-9 in 2018 and missed the postseason. Atlanta started 1-4 and could never break the .500 mark, while owning one of the worst ATS marks in the league by covering only five games. The Falcons didn’t defeat a single team that made the playoffs, but managed to win their final two road contests of the season at Carolina and Tampa Bay.

The Vikings took a step back following an NFC championship appearance in 2017 as Minnesota posted an 8-7-1 record last season. Kirk Cousins threw for 4,298 yards and 30 touchdowns in his first season with the Vikings, but the running game struggled following rookie Dalvin Cook’s ACL injury in Week 9. Minnesota won seven of eight home contests in 2017, but fell to 5-3 at U.S. Bank Stadium in 2018, while hitting the UNDER in six of eight home games last season.

This series has been owned by the Vikings the last few seasons as Minnesota has claimed all three meetings since 2014. However, the Vikings were listed as underdogs in all three victories, including in a 14-9 triumph in 2017 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as two-point ‘dogs. Minnesota is hosting Atlanta for the first time since 2014, as the Vikings won 41-28 at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota.

Best Bet: Falcons 21, Vikings 16

Rams (-2 ½, 50) at Panthers – 1:00 PM EST

The last four NFC champions have not returned to the Super Bowl, as Los Angeles looks to buck that trend this season. The Rams are coming off a 13-3 campaign, capped off by their second straight NFC West championship. Los Angeles won six of eight games away from the Coliseum, while owning a solid 13-3 mark on the highway under head coach Sean McVay. Following a 3-0 ATS start in 2018, the Rams slipped to 2-8-1 ATS in the next 11 games before covering four straight games, including the controversial NFC title win at New Orleans.

The Panthers were on their way to the playoffs after a fast 6-2 start, but Carolina fell on hard times by losing seven consecutive games before a victory in the season finale to finish 7-9. Carolina lost four games by six points or less during that dreadful stretch, including home setbacks to Seattle and New Orleans by three points each. The Panthers have fared well in openers the last few seasons by putting together a 4-1 SU/ATS record in Week 1 since 2014, while winning five straight home openers.

These two old division rivals haven’t seen much of each other recently with only three matchups since 2010. The Panthers edged the Rams, 13-10 at the Coliseum in 2016, while L.A. is making its first trip to Charlotte since 2013 in a 30-15 setback. Since McVay was hired in 2017, the Rams own a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS record in games played in the Eastern Time Zone, including a 30-16 victory at Detroit last season.

Best Bet: Rams 27, Panthers 23

Giants at Cowboys (-7, 45 ½) – 4:25 PM EST

The ongoing drama during the preseason regarding the contract status of Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott finally came to end just in time before the season opener. The former Ohio State standout agreed to a six-year, $90 million extension after sitting out the preseason as he will suit in Week 1. The Cowboys overcame a 3-5 start in 2018 to win seven of their final eight games to clinch the NFC East title. Although Dallas was knocked out by Los Angeles in the divisional playoffs, the Cowboys closed last season by compiling an 8-1 record at AT&T Stadium, which included the two-point Wild Card win over Seattle.

The Giants selected Duke’s Daniel Jones with their top pick in the draft to be the heir apparent to veteran Eli Manning under center. However, Jones will remain Manning’s backup to start the season as the Giants try to avoid their third consecutive last-place finish in the NFC East. New York finished 5-11 in 2018, but the Giants were a quality team to back away from Met Life Stadium as they compiled a 7-1 ATS mark on the road.

The lone ATS setback on the highway for the Giants in 2018 came at Dallas in a 20-13 defeat as three-point underdogs in Week 2. The Cowboys swept the Giants for the second consecutive season, while the past three matchups in Arlington have finished UNDER the total. New York is seeking its first win at Dallas since the 2016 opener when the Giants edged the Cowboys, 20-19 in Dak Prescott’s debut.

BEST TOTAL PLAY – (11-6 in 2018)

Under 50 ½ - Chiefs at Jaguars

Kansas City’s offense was the best in the league last season behind Patrick Mahomes and his 50 touchdown passes. The Chiefs head to Jacksonville to face the re-tooled Jaguars, who have more confidence in the quarterback position after signing with former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. However, Foles didn’t play much in the preseason and takes over an offense that scored 16 points or less in five home games last season. The Chiefs created five turnovers in a 30-14 blowout of the Jaguars last season at Arrowhead, while their road defensive numbers weren’t great but faced the likes of the Chargers, Steelers, Seahawks, Patriots, and Rams (who all ranked in the top eight in offense in the NFL).

TRAP OF THE WEEK

The pressure on the Cleveland Browns will be enormous this season following all the hype in the offseason. The Browns made drastic improvements last season by hanging around the playoff race nearly to the end, while winning seven games following a 1-31 stretch from 2016-17. The Titans finished with a better record than the Browns last season, while posting a perfect 3-0 ATS mark as a road underdog of four points or more. Cleveland closed as a favorite of more than a field goal once in 2018 as the Browns failed to cover in a 26-18 win as 10-point chalk against the Bengals (Browns did lead 26-3 late in fourth).

BIGGEST LINE MOVE

To no one’s surprise, the Colts moved from a 3 ½-point underdog against the Chargers when lines were released at the Westgate Superbook in April all the way up to 6 ½. Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement after the preseason jacked that line in Los Angeles’ favor as the Colts will turn to Jacoby Brissett for the season at quarterback. The positive sign for the Colts is they face a Chargers’ squad that posted a 2-5-1 ATS mark as a home favorite last season.

BETCHA DIDN’T KNOW

Eight teams feature new head coaches this season, including six men coaching their first ever regular season game. Last season, all six coaches in their team debuts lost (Chicago’s Matt Nagy, Detroit’s Matt Patricia, Indianapolis’ Frank Reich, New York’s Pat Shurmur, Oakland’s Jon Gruden, Tennessee’s Mike Vrabel). Three of those teams lost as a home underdog (Giants, Colts, Raiders), as the Cardinals and Dolphins both fall in that position in Week 1. This trend has been temporarily bucked by the Packers, as new head coach Matt LaFleur picked up his first win in Thursday’s 10-3 victory at Chicago.

This line has shifted this week, as it opened up a pick'em when I first glanced at the game, and has since moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers laying a point or so to the San Francisco 49ers. I'm taking the road underdog here, as I think Jimmy Garoppolo has a lot to prove, and will be up to the challenge.

Remember, Garoppolo won his first five starts with San Francisco back in 2017, and then didn't look in completing less than 60 percent of his passes in his three starts during the first part of last season, before he was lost for the season.

Nevertheless, he enters 2019 with a career .800 winning percentage, at 8-2, the highest among active quarterbacks with a minimum 10 starts. He has 2,260 yards passing, averaging 282.5 per game, and a 92.6 QB rating in eight starts with Frisco.

With a talented backfield joining him - Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman - and tight end George Kittle and wideout Dante Pettis ready to haul in passes, I like the offensive scheme against Tampa Bay's defense.

Besides, the thing about the Niners this season is how the defense will react, and is it improved.

I say it has, and will be a problem for Jameis Winston, even with Mike Evans running downfield to challenge San Fran's secondary.

Remember, the Niners traded for edge rusher Dee Ford, they have Nick Bosa, and they have Kwon Alexander to create pressure and force mistakes. And who will be waiting in the secondary, the plenty-of-life left in the tank Richard Sherman, who would love nothing more than to lead San Fran past Seattle in the NFC West and into the postseason.

This is a very big game for the 49ers, a statement one if you will. And I like the road team to go in and challenge for the outright win.

Titans vs. Browns
Titans+6 -110

There is a lot of hype surrounding the Cleveland Browns (some even claim them to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders) following a 5-2 finish to last season and acquiring several upgrades during the off-season.

I can understand the excitement as they indeed do have an interesting team, but it still feels like everyone is overestimating their edge here against Tennessee.

Scoring won't come easy for the Browns, facing a Titans defense that gave up just 18.9 points per game last year (the third-stingiest scoring defense in NFL). While their defense should keep them in this game primarily, let's not forget QB Marcus Mariota who can do a lot of damage when healthy and he should be better protected this year with an upgraded offensive line.

This is a lot of points to give to a team that just missed the playoffs a year ago, particularly for an unproven team like the Browns. Additionally we can note that the Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in September while the Browns are 5-14-2 ATS in their last 21 games in Week 1.

My free play for Sunday is on the Los Angeles Rams, laying the points to the Carolina Panthers. And as I will always tell you with favorites laying anywhere between -3 and 4.5, I want you buying the half point down.

The defending NFC champs open on the road, and that could be one reason to expect them to play with a chip on their shoulders. I don't worry about travel with talented teams in the NFL, even if it is across the country, as long as I know the defense can hold up.

In this particular game, it's about stopping Cam Newton.

The Panthers, undoubtedly, will be much more efficient offensively, but I certainly don't trust their offensive line against a monster like Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald - the reigning two-time AP Defensive Player of the Year. He led NFL with 20.5 sacks and 25 tackles for loss last season, and will be joined by linebacker Cory Littleton, in making life miserable for Newton.

But the real person I'm excited to see is linebacker Clay Matthews, who makes his Rams debut ranked sixth among active players with 83.5 sacks.

Hawking the secondary, we have cornerback Marcus Peters - who has 22 interceptions since 2015, the most in the NFL - and safety Eric Weddle, who is also making his Rams debut. Weddle leads all active safeties with 29 career picks.

Too much experience on the defensive side of the ball, plus a healthy dose of Jared Goff and Todd Gurley leading the offensive charge, and this one should be a wrap for the NFC champs.

Take the Rams.

JACK BRAYMAN

The hype surrounding Jimmy Garoppolo's arrival last season was well deserved. By the start of this season, I'm encouraged he'll know his offense and have a solid rhythm with his receivers.

Jordan Matthews signed as a free agent with the 49ers this past offseason, and the team drafted receivers in the second and third round, taking Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd, respectively. Jerick McKinnon, was acquired as a free agent last offseason, and will be back from a preseason injury he suffered last year. He and Tevin Coleman figure to blend in well.

That rejuvenated offense on a team that went 4-12 last season, and still produced an average of +14 yards per game, is very promising.

While the 49ers defense ranked a solid 13th overall, it ranked 28th in scoring last season. Last year’s 17th-best pass rush will surely improve this year.

First-round choice Joey Bosa fell right into the 49ers' lap, while they did a good job in acquiring Dee Ford from the Kansas City Chiefs and signed linebacker Kwon Alexander from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They can help a team that had a -25 turnover differential last year. Believe it or not, we've seen teams dramatically improve the year after registering a -20 turnover differential or worse the previous season, to the tune of at least 6 wins the following campaign.

The philosophy there is that by shoring up the turnovers, you create more opportunities for the offense, by holding on to the ball, and increasing the takeaways with an improved defense.

Look, the fact is, the 49ers were one of only two teams to rank top 10 on both offense and defense in 2018. This year they're poised to be much better.

Play the 49ers over the win total.

NFL Week 1 odds and line moves: Bettors on Steelers, but Patriots parlays stacking up
Patrick Everson

Tom Brady begins pursuit of his seventh Super Bowl ring when New England hosts Pittsburgh on Sunday night. The Patriots opened -6, dipped to -4.5, then went to -5 and are on lots of parlay tickets.

The first Sunday of the NFL season has arrived, and with it 13 games, including a prime-time AFC showdown. We check in on the action and odds movement for that contest and three others, with insights from Scott Shelton, sportsbook supervisor at The Mirage on the Vegas Strip.

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots – Open: -6; Move: -5.5; Move: -4.5; Move: -5

New England opens defense of its Super Bowl title under the Sunday night lights, in an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The Patriots won the last five games of the 2018-19 season (4-1 ATS), including a 3-0 SU and ATS run through the playoffs. In the Super Bowl, the Pats topped the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 as 2-point favorites to finish 14-5 SU (12-7 ATS).

Star tight end Rob Gronkowski retired after that victory. But on Saturday, in what’s become a never-ending saga, mercurial wideout Antonio Brown was cut by Oakland, then signed by New England. However, Brown can’t play in the season opener.

Meanwhile, Pittsburgh – which traded Brown to the Raiders – missed the postseason last year as running back Le’Veon Bell sat out all season, and Bell then moved on to the New York Jets. The Steelers went 2-4 SU and ATS in their last six games, finishing at 9-7 SU (8-7-1 ATS).

“There’s actually almost twice as much pointspread money on the Steelers, but ticket count is almost 4/1 on the Patriots,” Shelton said. “Right now, we need New England small. But it’s the late game.”

And it’s the Patriots. Shelton expects plenty of parlays to include New England, and if those parlays survive the day – if the favorites do well – there could be a load of Patriots liability by Sunday night. In that case, MGM books could ultimately be rooting for Pittsburgh.

Indianapolis Colts at San Diego Chargers – Open: -3; Move: -3.5; Move: OFF; Move: -7.5; Move: -7; Move: -6.5

Andrew Luck’s abrupt retirement two weeks ago threw a monkey wrench into Indianapolis’ high expectations this season. The Colts earned a wild-card bid last year and topped Houston on the road in that round, then fell to Kansas City 31-13 as 4-point road underdogs to finish 11-7 SU (9-8-1 ATS).

Jacoby Brissett, who played the entire 2017 season while Luck recovered from a shoulder injury, is once again Indy’s starter.

San Diego also reached the divisional round of the playoffs last year, after tying with Kansas City atop the AFC West, but settling for the wild card on a tiebreaker. The Chargers won at Baltimore, then fell to eventual champ New England 41-28 catching 3.5 points on the road to finish 13-5 SU (10-8 ATS).

“This line has been all over the place,” Shelton said, primarily alluding to the big shift to Chargers -7.5 after the Luck news. “We got $30,000 on the Colts +7, but there’s still more money on the Chargers. We’re still gonna need the Colts.”

Kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. ET.

Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars – Open: +3.5; Move: +4; Move: +3.5

Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City had a solid 2018-19 campaign, coming up just one game short of the Super Bowl while going 13-5 SU (10-7-1 ATS). The Chiefs nabbed the AFC’s No. 1 seed, giving them home field against the Patriots in the conference title game, where they lost 37-31 in overtime laying 3 points.

Jacksonville is done with the Blake Bortles experiment, after luring Nick Foles away from the Eagles in the offseason. The Jaguars went just 5-11 SU last year and weren’t much better for bettors, at 5-9-2 ATS. After a 3-1 SU and ATS start, the Jags went 2-10 SU the rest of the way (2-8-2 ATS).

“This is the most lopsided ticket count of the day. Nine out of 10 straight-bet tickets are on the Chiefs, and that’s probably all public money,” Shelton said of this 1 p.m. ET matchup. “Sharps are on the Jaguars, and we need Jacksonville too.”

Los Angeles Rams at Carolina Panthers – Open: +3; Move: +2.5

Los Angeles raced all the way to the Super Bowl last season, benefiting greatly from the now-infamous noncall of pass interference that led to an overtime victory at New Orleans in the NFC title game. Two weeks later, though, that luck ran out when the Rams mustered only a field goal in a 13-3 loss to New England as 2-point pups. L.A. finished 15-4 SU (9-9-1 ATS).

Carolina enters this 1 p.m. ET clash after a 7-9 SU and ATS campaign. The Panthers were 6-2 SU through eight games, then lost seven in a row (1-6 ATS) to blow any shot at the playoffs. Quarterback Cam Newton sat the final two games to rest an ailing shoulder, then had offseason surgery.

Newton also suffered a sprained foot in preseason Week 3 against New England, but he’s expected to be ready today.

“Another game where all the public is on one side. They’re loving the Rams,” Shelton said. “Eighty-five percent of tickets are on Los Angeles. The money is a little closer. Sharps are on the Panthers.”

The 23-year-old owned a 4.90 ERA after getting knocked around at Seattle on July 2 but turned his season around from there and owns a 0.90 ERA while holding opponents to a .141 batting average over his last 11 starts. Flaherty last saw Pittsburgh on July 16 and scattered one run and three hits over seven innings while striking out eight.

Marvel is making his major league debut after breezing through the top two levels of the minors. The 25-year-old former 36th-round draft pick went 7-0 with a 2.67 ERA in 11 starts after being promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis and tossed five scoreless innings in his last outing at Louisville on Monday. Marvel excels at keeping the ball in the ballpark and surrendered three home runs in 60 2/3 innings for Indianapolis.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Mike Clevinger (10-2, 2.71 ERA) vs. Twins TBD

Clevinger allowed two runs on two hits and four walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday before the bullpen denied him of a 10th straight win.

Minnesota could use the same formula or hand the ball to Smeltzer (1-2, 4.00 ERA), who has not pitched in the majors since earning a four-inning save against Texas on Aug. 15. The 24-year-old has pitched against the Indians twice this season, allowing 11 runs on 12 hits (four homers) over 10 2/3 innings in a pair of losses.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cleveland SS Francisco Lindor, who has homered twice against Smeltzer, owns multiple hits in four of his last seven games.

2. Minnesota INF/OF Luis Arraez is 10-for-23 with four doubles during his current six-game hitting streak.

3. Twins DH Nelson Cruz (wrist) sat out Saturday, but could be back in the lineup for the series finale.

PREDICTION: Indians 6, Twins 2

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (1-5, 6.02 ERA) vs. Astros RH Gerrit Cole (15-5, 2.81)

Hernandez allowed two runs, two hits and four walks with five strikeouts over three innings of a 6-1 loss to the Cubs in Chicago on Tuesday. This could be the final season for the 33-year-old Venezuelan and former Cy Young award winner, who is 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA in three starts since returning from the IL. Houston's Jose Altuve is 16-for-32 with two home runs and four doubles against Hernandez, who is 4-7 with a 4.42 ERA in 14 starts against the Astros after yielding three runs in six innings of a 3-1 loss April 13.

Cole struck out 14 - one game after Verlander did the same in his no-hitter in Toronto - while permitting one run and three hits over six innings, but settled for a no-decision in Houston's 3-2 victory at Milwaukee on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Californian, who boasts a club-record 16 double-digit strikeout games this season, is 11-0 with a 2.03 ERA during his unbeaten streak. Seattle's Keon Broxton is 3-for-14 with a home run and nine strikeouts against Cole, who is 4-2 with a 2.25 ERA in seven starts versus the Mariners - 2-0, 2.08 in two turns this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Houston CF George Springer (30 home runs) is expected back in the lineup Sunday after missing the last three games (concussion).

2. Seattle 3B Kyle Seager leads all visiting players with 14 home runs at Minute Maid Park since the Astros moved to the AL West in 2013.

3. Houston on Sunday can tie a franchise record - last matched in 1998 and set in 1980 - with its 55th home victory.

PREDICTION: Astros 6, Mariners 2

[Can'tPickAWinner]

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Jaime Barria (4-7, 6.27 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Dylan Cease (3-7, 6.75)

Barria has yet to produce a quality start in 10 tries after giving up five runs over four innings at Oakland on Tuesday. Sunday will mark his sixth consecutive start on the road, where he is 2-6 with an 8.31 ERA. The 23-year-old took the loss after giving up four runs in five innings against the White Sox in their lone meeting last year.

Cease struck out a career-high 11 over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision at Cleveland on Tuesday. He has allowed at least one home run in each of his 11 starts and opponents are hitting a healthy .281 against the 23-year-old. Cease gave up five runs in five innings of a loss at Los Angeles last month.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels 1B-DH Albert Pujols has hit safely in a season-high seven straight games.

2. White Sox SS Tim Anderson has seven multi-hit efforts during an eight-game hitting streak.

3. Ohtani has a home run, a triple and two doubles through the first two games of the series.

PREDICTION: Angels 6, White Sox 5

[Can'tPickAWinner]

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Daniel Norris (3-11, 4.76 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (0-0, 0.00)

Norris has pitched three innings in five consecutive starts as the Tigers continue to restrict the 26-year-old Tennessee native, who was limited to 215 1/3 frames from 2016-18 because of injuries. Norris has worked 132 1/3 innings this season after going three in Detroit's 6-5 walk-off loss at Kansas City on Tuesday, and nearly had his fourth straight strong performance until Jorge Soler belted a three-run homer in the third inning. Norris is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two starts against the Athletics.

Manaea received a no-decision after allowing one hit and three walks with five strikeouts in five scoreless innings of Oakland's 5-4 loss at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 1. "That's all we were looking to get from him and boy he's got to feel good about that," manager Bob Melvin told reporters about the 27-year-old Indiana native. Manaea, who won 12 games in each of the last two seasons, is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA in two starts against Detroit.

WALK-OFFS

1. Oakland's Matt Chapman on Saturday hit his 32nd home run, equaling the club record for a third baseman set by Eric Chavez in 2001.

2. Athletics DH Mark Canha on Saturday matched a career high with four strikeouts but reached base safely for the 22nd straight game when he was hit by a pitch.

3. Oakland is 22-7 with a plus-86 run differential against the AL Central this season while Detroit is 6-26 versus the AL West and has lost 35 of its last 41 such games dating to 2018.

PREDICTION: Athletics 3, Tigers 2

[Can'tPickAWinner]

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Dereck Rodriguez (5-8, 5.15 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Julio Urias (4-3, 2.55)

Rodriguez lost his second straight start Tuesday despite tossing seven innings of one-run ball in St. Louis. The 27-year-old son of Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez bounced back from a rough outing against San Diego by recording seven strikeouts and one walk versus the Cardinals. Rodriguez owns a 17.47 ERA in three career games (one start) across 5 2/3 innings versus the Dodgers.

Urias takes the mound Sunday in place of scheduled starter Walker Buehler, who is being pushed back two days and will start Tuesday in Baltimore. The 23-year-old Urias on Tuesday returned from a 20-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy and allowed one run over three innings in a no-decision against Colorado. Brandon Belt is 3-for-10 with a home run against Urias, who is 0-2 with a 1.47 ERA in 10 career games (five starts) versus San Francisco.

WALK-OFFS

1. Giants RHP Johnny Cueto (Tommy John surgery) threw a bullpen session Saturday and could rejoin the rotation next week.

2. Dodgers INF Max Muncy (wrist) is hoping to return from the injured list Friday.

3. The Giants claimed LHP Wandy Peralta off waivers from Cincinnati and expect him to join the bullpen Monday.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 6, Giants 3

[Can'tPickAWinner]

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Peter Lambert (2-6, 7.19 ERA) vs. Padres LH Eric Lauer (8-8, 4.55)

Lambert lost his sixth straight decision after giving up six runs on eight hits over 1 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. “I didn’t have my A-game,” he told reporters. “They had some big hits and got it going. The season is a grind and I have to keep grinding it out.” The 22-year-old rookie, who owns a 50-to-29 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 16 starts, allowed eight runs over three frames against San Diego on June 16.

Lauer won his second straight start last Sunday, allowing four runs with a career-high nine strikeouts over six innings versus San Francisco. The 24-year-old native of Ohio has struck out 17 batters over his past two starts while throwing at least 108 pitches in both outings. Charlie Blackmon is 8-for-13 with a home run against Lauer, who is 0-3 with an 11.21 ERA in five career starts versus Colorado.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego has won six of its last nine meetings against the Rockies.

2. The Rockies recalled RHP Rico Garcia from Triple-A Albuquerque, giving the team 14 relievers on the active roster.

3. San Diego is hopeful that C Francisco MejÃ*a (strained right oblique) will return before the end of the season.

PREDICTION: Padres 8, Rockies 4

[Can'tPickAWinner]

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Masahiro Tanaka (10-8, 4.42 ERA) vs. Red Sox RH Rick Porcello (12-11, 5.63)

Tanaka was a tough-luck loser against Texas on Monday, when he allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings but came out on the wrong end of a 7-0 final. The Japan native surrendered two or fewer runs in four of his last five outings and completed six innings in each of those five turns. Tanaka was not sharp at Boston on July 25, when he was ripped for 12 runs on as many hits in 3 1/3 innings to suffer the loss.

Porcello failed to complete six innings in any of his last three turns and was knocked around for six runs on eight hits (two homers) in four innings of a loss against Minnesota on Tuesday. The New Jersey native is set to be a free agent at the end of the season and is set to record an ERA of more than 5.00 for the first time in his career. Porcello was on the other end of Tanaka's tough outing July 25 and earned a win over New York while yielding three runs in six frames.

WALK-OFF

1. Red Sox SS Xander Bogaerts recorded his 1,000th career hit Saturday, becoming the third player in franchise history to reach the mark before age 27.

2. Yankees CF Aaron Hicks (elbow) suffered a setback in his recovery and could miss the rest of the season.

3. New York 3B Gio Urshela (groin) is expected to be available Sunday.

PREDICTION: Yankees 10, Red Sox 4

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ABOUT THE RAMS (2018: 13-3, FIRST IN NFC WEST): Los Angeles boasts one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses as Jared Goff emerged as an elite quarterback in 2018, passing for 4,688 yards and 32 touchdowns to complement Gurley. Goff is surrounded by a talented receiving corps led by Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks, a pair of 1,000-yard receivers in 2018. Veterans Clay Matthews and Eric Weddle were added to a defense anchored by back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, who led the league in sacks (20.5) and tackles for loss (25) last season.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (2018: 7-9, THIRD IN AFC SOUTH): The fate of Carolina’s season likely rests on the health of Newton, who had shoulder surgery in the offseason. If he is able to play to his full potential, the Panthers have plenty of talent around him to put up big offensive numbers, including McCaffrey and young receivers D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel. The defense will have a new look, featuring more 3-4 lineups, but veteran linebacker Luke Kuechly is still the centerpiece after collecting at least 100 tackles in seven straight seasons.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Carolina has won two straight season openers and four of its last five.

2. Gurley leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage (6,430), rushing yards (4,547) and touchdowns (56) since he entered the league in 2015.

3. Rams CB Marcus Peters has 22 interceptions since 2015, the most in the NFL over that stretch.


PREDICTION: Rams 27, Panthers 20

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (2018: 7-9, 3RD IN NFC EAST): Adrian Peterson is on the cusp of a pair of honors, as the veteran resides one rushing touchdown shy of surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown (106) for fifth place in league history. Should that rushing score come on Sunday, Peterson would join Marcus Allen (12), Chuck Muncie (11) and Priest Holmes (10) with double-digit touchdowns in season-opening games. Washington will be playing without Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams (holdout), with either Donald Penn or Ereck Flowers starting in his place. The availability of tight end Jordan Reed (team-leading 558 receiving yards last season) is also in question as he deals with a concussion sustained two weeks ago in a preseason game against Atlanta.

ABOUT THE EAGLES (2018: 9-7, 2ND IN NFC EAST): Wideout DeSean Jackson led the NFL in yards per reception (18.9) with Tampa Bay last season and is poised to open up defenses for Wentz when he begins his second stint in Philadelphia. The speedy Jackson is known for his fast starts, highlighted by his five season-opening games of at least 100 receiving yards -- one shy of Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin for the most in league history. Tight end Zach Ertz is coming off a career year in which he reeled in a franchise record for receptions by a tight end (116) to go along with 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns. An overhauled backfield now features Jordan Howard (Chicago) joining versatile rookie Miles Sanders, who was selected out of Penn State in the second round of the draft.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Washington has won its past three road season openers, which accounts for the longest active streak in the NFL.

2. Eagles DT Fletcher Cox registered four of his career-high 10.5 sacks last season against the Redskins.

3. Washington S Landon Collins, who will make his team debut on Sunday, recorded 19 tackles in a pair of games versus Philadelphia in 2018 while playing for the New York Giants.

PREDICTION: Eagles 24, Redskins 17

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ABOUT THE BILLS (2018: 6-10, 3RD IN AFC EAST): Allen will look for support from a backfield that jettisoned veteran LeSean McCoy last weekend and has new faces in the ageless Frank Gore and rookie standout Devin Singletary. Cole Beasley, who had 65 catches a year ago with Dallas, gives Allen a seasoned target in the slot, and former 1,000-yard man John Brown also joins the receving corps. Rookie defensive tackle Ed Oliver had a strong preseason and will be a key cog in a promising defense that allowed just 294.1 yards per game last year -- second-fewest in the NFL.

ABOUT THE JETS (2018: 4-12, 4TH IN AFC EAST): For his part, Bell seems more than ready to reassert himself as one of the league's top backs, despite having not played in almost 19 months and seeing no game action in the preseason. "I can carry 50 (times) if you ask me," Bell told reporters. "When I say, 'Don't hold back,' I mean literally that. I don't want to go out there and try to sprinkle me in or anything like that. I'm ready to play football. I've been waiting a long time for this moment. A lot of people are excited to see me play. Quadruple that, and that's how I feel." Bell will be trying to revive a ground attack that ranked 29th in the NFL in yards per carry (4.0) in 2018 and was held to 90 yards or fewer eight times in the final 10 games.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Darnold was 16-for-24 for 170 yards with a TD and an interception in his one meeting with the Bills as a rookie.

2. Buffalo has won three of its last five games in New York, including a 41-10 laugher last November in which it outgained the Jets 451-199.

3. The divisional foes do not meet again until a Week 17 matchup in Buffalo on Dec. 29.

PREDICTION: Jets 21, Bills 20

Marc Lawrence Incredible Stat of the Day:

NFL road favorites are 3-23-1 UNDER before another road favorite role the following week (Kansas City Chiefs).

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ABOUT THE FALCONS (2018: 7-9, TIED FOR 2ND IN NFC SOUTH): Calvin Ridley quickly gained the trust of Ryan in 2018 and led all rookie wideouts in catches (64), receiving yards (821) and receiving touchdowns (10). While Ryan also has Mohamed Sanu coming off a career year, the quarterback is pleased to see the return of two-time Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman return following groin surgery. "His production when he's been healthy is as good as anybody. ... We're lucky to have him back," Ryan said of Freeman, who has missed 16 games over the last two seasons. The Falcons' ground attack was ranked 27th (98.3 yards per contest) in the league, a stark contrast to the fourth-ranked passing game (290.8).

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (2018: 8-7-1, 2ND IN NFC NORTH): Thielen had an NFL fourth-best 113 receptions, a career-high 1,373 receiving yards and a franchise-record nine games with 100-plus receiving yards last season while Diggs set career-highs in catches (102), receiving yards (1,021) and touchdown receptions (nine). Impressive totals to be certain, but the Vikings weren't willing to rest on their laurels and added a player with ties to Cousins in former Washington first-round pick Josh Doctson. "It's been very easy for me so far," Doctson said. "A lot of the same concepts (as the Redskins' offense), familiar routes, just kind of different verbiage, so it's pretty easy." Running back Dalvin Cook hopes to have an easier -- and healthier -- time of it after showing flashes of promise in his first two seasons despite being limited to just 15 games.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Atlanta CB Damontae Kazee recorded a career-high seven interceptions last season, tied for most in the NFL.

2. The Vikings have won 10 of the 13 meetings at home against the Falcons.

3. Atlanta returned to a familiar face when it re-signed K Matt Bryant, 44, to a one-year deal after releasing him in February.

PREDICTION: Vikings 23, Falcons 21

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ABOUT THE RAVENS (2018: 10-6, FIRST IN AFC NORTH): Baltimore is convinced that Ingram, 29, has plenty left in the tank after splitting carries for years with the Saints. "He's a proven back in the National Football League," Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters. "He seems very healthy. (There is) not a lot of wear and tear on Mark. He’s a downhill, physical runner. He fits our style." Ingram will run between the tackles while Jackson takes off around the outside and goes after Michael Vick's record for rushing yards by a quarterback (1,039).

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (2018: 7-9, SECOND IN AFC EAST): Miami traded for former first-round pick Josh Rosen in the offseason, but veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick won the battle in camp and will get the start on Sunday, becoming the first quarterback to start for eight different teams. "You know it is (rewarding)," Fitzpatrick told reporters. "It's something that's never been done before. Just in terms of who I am and the career I've had and the different places I've been, this means a lot to me. I think being able to do it here with a younger group where it's going to rely so much on communication and I've got to make sure I'm at my best on every single play, whether it's during the play or before at the line of scrimmage." Running back Kenyan Drake survived the team's offseason purge and is expected to take on a bigger role in the offense after averaging 4.5 yards per rush in 2018.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Ravens CB Brandon Carr (hip) is questionable for Sunday.

2. Dolphins CB Xavien Howard tied for the league lead with seven interceptions last season.

3. Baltimore beat Miami by a combined 78-6 in the last two meetings - 2016 and 2017.
