Week 1 Angles - Super Bowl Winners and Losers
Matt Blunt

SUPER BOWL COMBATANTS

With the NFL the next sport up to take their crack at getting through a season in this unique year, hopefully some of the annual angles bettors like to bring up during football season remain relevant.

And while any February hangover would have had anyone sobered up pretty quick, one of my favorite opening week angles is to look at the season opener for those two teams that went the distance last year.

The two teams tend to change from year to year, but the Week 1 results do have some strong historical precedent, so let's take a look at some perspectives the Week 1 games in Kansas City and San Francisco.

Both teams are currently laying at least a touchdown for those season/home openers as well.

SUPER BOWL WINNERS IN WEEK 1

Thanks to the Patriots beating Pittsburgh as -5.5 home favorites in Week 1 last year, the reigning champs are now 17-3 straight up (SU) and 13-5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the season opener the following year.

That's a blind system that bodes well for Chiefs fans later in the week, as they come in as a -9.5 home favorite for their opener on Thursday Night.

SB Week 1 Winner Matchup: Kansas City -9.5 vs. Houston

Tough to argue against them winning the game with that 17-3 SU record, but it's also could be a huge motivational edge on Houston's side with the revenge factor for them losing 51-31 in the Divisional Round in this stadium a year ago. It's more of how Houston loss that game – blowing the big early lead – that actually might make this a stronger revenge spot then seemingly equal ones, but to bet into that history is tough as well.

What makes this year's game more convoluted for backing the defending champs though is the fact that these Super Bowl winners since 2000, when laying a TD or more, are 5-1 SU and 3-2-1 ATS.

Total bettors should note that the 'over-under' (OU) is 4-2 in those games.

That's a high success rate on the outright, but not as rosy on the ATS number, and the prospect of anyone winning a game by more than a TD in a season opener after the lack of a regular summer/training camp/preseason games does seem a bit harder to get behind this year.

But the past doesn't lie, and you can bet at a 17-3 SU rate blind, the Chiefs ML option this week will be tied into a heck of a lot of parlays out there for Sunday's action.

You can follow the line movements on this matchup and most would expect the Kansas City (-475) market will be driven upwards by kickoff.

SUPER BOWL LOSERS IN WEEK 1

The Los Angeles Rams were able to buck most of the negative history Super Bowl losers have in their season opener the following campaign, although the 30-27 win over Carolina last year came with plenty of sweat attached to it.

The Rams victory as -1.5 road chalk both SU and ATS put the record for defending Super Bowl “losers” in their opener the following year at 8-13 SU and 6-15 ATS the past 21 years.

LA's win also marked the second time we've had a streak of at least three years where these “losers” end up winning their opener the following year, and never have we had a streak of more than three seasons in that regard.

SB Loser Week 1 Matchup: Arizona at San Francisco (-7)

Does that mean an Arizona Cardinals ML (+245) selection is in play this week?

Arizona visits San Francisco to start the 2020 campaign, and with the 49ers losing the Super Bowl the way they did, they do look like the prime profile of a Super Bowl 'loser' that's likely better to be faded in their opener.

That doesn't necessarily mean a Cardinals ML play is the best way to go about things here, but seven points is a lot to lay for a division game out of the gate, when the last “normal” month the country experienced this year started with the toughest loss in the careers of those 49ers players.

That is a team that's going to have to prove it to me from the start, at least to show that they are mentally invested in this year from start to finish more than anything. If they aren't and do experience a post-Super Bowl slumber, then these point spreads are going to be quite high for them to cover at least early on.

With the horrible ATS record Super Bowl 'losers' have had this century, it's as though there are quite a few angles lining up on Arizona for the game.

Hopefully they don't become too public of a dog.

Jack Brayman

I'm laying the points on the road with my first NFL freebie of the season, as I love the Las Vegas Raiders over the Carolina Panthers. And I want you to buy the half point down, as long as bookmakers are offering you a line between -3 and -4.5.

Carolina first-year coach Matt Rhule spoke to Raiders media on Wednesday and said it's been more like preparing for opening week of a college football game, not knowing what to expect in the opponent.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden, on the other hand, sounded beyond confident later that day when speaking to the media, in that he and his staff have done everything they could and the players have gone above and beyond during training camp and these two weeks leading up to Week 1.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has made it no secret he is out for vengeance this season. He is tired of his critics, he is tired of losing, he is tired of the negativity - he wants to win now. And with a bulked up receiving corps, including future Hall of Fame tight end Jason Witten and his "backup" Darren Waller, I think we're going to see an amazing turnaround from this team this season.

I don't know about a playoff run, but an improvement on the 7-9 campaign last year, and wild-card challenge with the expanded playoff field isn't out of the question.

This week will tell us a lot, and I feel Las Vegas will be better suited, better prepared and the overall better team on both sides of the ball.

Jerry Shottenkirk: My Late Pick 4 Ticket Sunday at Gulfstream September 12, 2020 | By Jerry Shottenkirk
My weekly Pick 4 Tour returns to Gulfstream Park on Sunday and we’re faced with a particularly challenging Late Pick 4, led by a solid allowance optional claiming race at a mile around the turn.
My suggested $60 ticket features five horses chosen in the ninth race, which is the third in the sequence. The seventh race also necessitated a spread as four were deemed worthy of inclusion on the Pick 4 card.
Here’s a look at this week’s suggested ticket:

Race 7 (3:06 p.m. ET, maidens)
BIG VENEZUELA has a nice drill after a series of works and is ready for his debut. DOO WOP DON pressed for a half-mile and tired late in his debut. Eligible to improve. CARSON CITY KID had the lead in each of his two races and can mix it up early. MASTER OF DISASTER has worked well for his debut and is bred to scoot.

Race 8 (3:40 p.m. ET, claiming)
STARSHIP TAXI is going to get past this non-winners of two condition at some point, and today looks like a prime spot for him. Always seems to be the hunt and he just needs to finish the deal. YES FOR LESS rallied boldly for second at this level two races back, fizzled for a bigger price on turf and is now back to a bottom sprint. Take seriously. ACASEADAY showed speed at a higher level in Tampa. Comes back off a six-month vacation and can be a big threat for this claiming tag.

Race 9 (4:14 p.m. ET, allowance optional claiming)
INDIMAAJ moves over to the main track after a couple of attempts at this level. A stalking run could be the ticket for this one. CREA’S BKLYN LAW made a solid move from off the pace and just missed last out and had won two straight going into that one. Doesn’t have many bad ones on his form. FIFTH TITLE beat Crea’s Brkyn Law two back and was second to tough Glory of Florida last out. At the top of his game. LIKE YOU has been in good form since March and has the talent to mix it up throughout. Has been in fast races and his efforts should transfer nicely into this spot. YOUCANTCATCHCURLIN moves into stronger company after an easy win. Has taken two of his last three and can run into contention.
Race 10 (4:48 p.m. ET, maiden claiming)
ANIMA D’OR has been impressive in the late going as he transferred his game to the turf. Gets his first opportunity going two turns, which should work out well. UNCAGE THE CAT had a lead in a similar situation last out and stuck around for second. Capable of dictating the terms of this one.

Here’s the suggested ticket for Saratoga’s Late Pick 4 on Sunday:
7) #3 Big Venezuela, #4 Doo Wop Don, #7 Carson City Kid, #9 Master of Disaster.
8) #3 Starship Taxi, #4 Yes for Less, #8 Acaseaday.
9) #1 Indimaaj, #2 Crea’s Bklyn Law, #3 Fifth Title, #5 Like You, #6 Youcantcatchcurlin.
10) #2 Anima d’Or, #6 Uncage the Cat.
50-cent Late Pick 4: 3-4-7-9 with 3-4-8 with 1-2-3-5-6 with 2-6 ($60).

Al Cimaglia: Hawthorne Racecourse Late Pick 4 Analysis September 13, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
Hawthorne Racecourse has a 15-race card set to begin at 7:10 CST. The Late Pick 4 starts in Race 12, it has a $25,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.

The driver with the hottest hands on Saturday was Casey Leonard with 3 pictures. The leading conditioners, with 2 wins each, were Hector Herrera and Steve Searle.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 12

3-Misscanfly (4-1)-Broke in last at 2-1 but regular pilot returns tonight. Hard to tell when this mare is race ready but is a threat with a top effort.
7-Big Man Forever (3-1)-Searle trainee has been competitive in most starts but has been burned a lot of money. Was an odds-on chalk in last and has a chance to make amends at a better price.
9-Gogo Riches (5-1)-Got on the engine and didn't look back in breaking maiden on 8/29. Team Wilfong entry steps-up and will be tested with this post draw. Can be in the hunt if minds manners and the post makes for a better price.

Race 13

4-Fox Valley Lizzy (12-1)-Makes 4th start on Lasix and Bates sticks after an even effort in last. Looking for a price and Lizzy should get a cozy trip from here.
9-Locked On It (3-1)-Program chalk gets a new pilot as Stewart chooses #5, but that may help chances. My guess is Warren leaves and could get sucked around and use one big move down the lane.
10-Peace Time (7/2)-Had a nice effort from the 10-hole at this class on 8/30 to come 2nd. Wilfong left off the gate and landed in the 2-hole. Maybe he looks to come off cover this time?

Race 14

3-Gamblinforalivin (5-1)-Broke and had a bumpy trip in last start versus better. Gets a new set of hands in Bates and should like the company. Can get a good trip from here and take a picture at a square price.
6-Babyface (4-1)-Won last at Nfld on 2nd try with Lasix. Hasn't won in Stickney (0-12) but has cashed a 2nd place check in last 2 starts here. Could be set for a big try and does fit with this crew.
7-Beat The Devil (5-1)-Makes 3rd consecutive start here and was driven more aggressively in last. This 3-year-old might be getting better and has a shot to finally post a win in 2020.

Race 15

1-Look Kimbo (5/2)-Bet hard and has failed as a big chalk in last 2. This guy finds ways to lose and the drive is not always a help but has battled better. No excuses allowed here but is 0-12 and that merits caution.
4-Spee Dee Shark (4-1)-Dropped and popped in 1st start on Lasix. Steps up but was facing better and this a suspect group. Best to respect as the Shark has banked more cash over the past 2 years than anyone in this field.

0.50 Late Pick 4

3,7,9/4,9,10/3,6,7/1,4
Total Bet=$27

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks Woodbine - Race #3

Picks
Notes

#7 Correlate
Well-bred Casse firster drew a nice utside attack post, meets a proven crew that doesn't inspire, and a stablemate that will be way overbet; look out.

#2 Master Spy
Stiff ML favorite will be bet hard for Casse off the stakes 2nd, but that was on the Tapeta, and the turf debut wasn't nearly as sharp; backwheel time.

#3 Mt Logan
Logical sort has been 2nd in both starts, but the turf debut last time was a regression off the Tapeta run, and he too will be overbet; tread lightly here.

Race Summary
Tab the tote on the 7, as you'd like to see him live and taking money, and if it shows you can play him to win and place, though you'll get some added value by using him in the 50k guaranteed Pk5, as budget players will be singling the 2, even though he doesn't look nearly as opposing on the turf as he does on the Tapeta.

Woodbine - Race #8

Picks
Notes

#3 Landry
Class dropper was bet a bit in a big field on debut on the turf and wasn't a terrible 7th, and not far behind the chalk, and now adds Lasix and gets to the Tapeta; bombs away.

#2 Born to Be King
ML favorite and class dropper is the one to beat off the fast 3rd last time, but that also makes him 11-0-3-3, which is a bit tough to swallow at an underlaid price; second-best.

#10 Pardsy
MSW dropper has been facing eons better in all three starts, so this group should be to his liking, though it's not like he's done much running either; mixed signals in this corner.

Race Summary
The price will be right and then some on the pick, and it's not like the favorite is any great shakes, so if he moves forward with the Lasix, experience, and surface change, he's hardly without hope, so give him a look in all the slots, and especially in the late Pk4 as well, since a win would go a long way in blowing up the sequence.

Woodbine - Race #11

Picks
Notes

#3 Ron's Gizmo
ML longshot (20-1) takes the MSW drop after improving in his second start, actually fits nicely with these on paper, and has a ton of upside off just two lifetime starts too; upset special.

#4 Pound Green
Heavy hitter was a good 22nd on debut and now adds Lasix, so clearly he's going to be in with a big chance, but his margin for error is a scant one, at underlaid odds too; still, plenty scary.

#10 Irving
MSW dropper will like getting in for a tag, as he's been overmatched in his three career starts, but this wide draw is no bargain, and you know he'll be bet hard too; using underneath only.

Race Summary
That 20-1 ML is way too high on the 3, as he's taking the biggest drop in racing and has every right to move forward in the often pivotal third career start, but even 10-1 seems fair, so give him a look in all the slots, and especially to end the late Pk4 as well, since a win would blow things up, and he's got a lot better chance than that ML suggests, though it may be high enough to scare many off.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Mountaineer - Race #1

Picks
Notes

#5 Inaweofnooneatall
This one has a little but of pace, but she also showed some finishing ability in the debut try. She's bred for the two-turn turf trip and may offer a fair price.

#9 Petrichor
Rolled maidens in the local debut last out when assuming command in the opening half mile and running off the screen. She might have some company today, but it's tough to discount her off that easy win.

#4 Unruly Julie
Has done nothing wrong in two local turf starts and just handled a similar group last time out. She's in the mix right back.

Race Summary
Inaweofnooneatall stretches out with a pretty decent pedigree for this trip, and she brings a trio of useful sprint races into this first route try.

Mountaineer - Race #7

Picks
Notes

#8 Miss Oxbow
Blinkers come off tonight, and that may allow her to relax a bit better in the early stages and find something better than the late-fading efforts to date.

#2 Iamthebesttoo
Well beaten in the debut run at 42-1, but the winner dropped all 14 of those beaten lengths on her, and she can play here at a price with any move forward off that run.

#10 Roar of Cali
Debuts for a capable team while not meeting the deepest bunch, and she gets a good draw to avoid any early issues further inside.

Race Summary
Miss Oxbow loses the blinks for this one, and it could lead to a bit different running style that allows her to relax a bit more in the early going. She caught a runaway winner last out and would be plenty playable at something like the 5/1 ML offering.

Mountaineer - Race #8

Picks
Notes

#7 It'smyintension
Meets a couple of solid pace players who might set things up for something from off the pace, and this one cuts back off a chasing two-turn try at Charles Town.

#4 Coach Machen
She's in the mix here, but she doesn't have much of a finishing gear and could again be vulnerable in deep stretch.

#5 Untapped Energy
Can sit a midpack trip with these, but she feels likely to catch one or two of them that are too tough for her tonight. Underneath?

Race Summary
It'smyintension tries the local footing for the first time, and she can get the right kind of trip behind a couple of fairly swift forward players.

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks Gulfstream Park - Race #2

Picks
Notes

#1 Baby Ice
Was claimed in four of her last five, tired in her latest but can get a good trip in her first for the Cartegena stable.

#2 Takecharge Mirelle
Weakened last time, but came against much better; steps back down to where she won two races back. A good stalking trip is probable.

#7 Shall Return
Set the pace and was caught late last time, which is uncharacteristic of her style, which usually has here from just off the pace.

Race Summary
Baby Ice has the tactical speed to be where she needs to be and can make a serious run at the leaders. Won two straight in the winter and looks ready to return to that form.

Gulfstream Park - Race #6

Picks
Notes

#2 Diamonds Enjoy
Takes a significant drop after trying upper-level allowance and optional claiming company; was second the only time she was six furlongs and could settle into the distance after trying longer.

#5 R U Lucky
Set the pace and tired vs. better; does well at this level and can be a factor throughout.

#6 U S S Colton
Never got involved on the turf last time but broke his maiden in easy fashion two races back on the main track. Can immediately be a forward factor.

Race Summary
Diamonds Enjoy has tried much tougher spots and should have a more comfortable appearance here; can get a good stalking journey off a fast pace.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8

Picks
Notes

#3 Starship Taxi
Has been working on getting his second win and lands in a spot in which he should succeed; has the necessary finishing touch vs. these.

#4 Yes for Less
Rallied well for second the last time he was on dirt and can show some late energy here; could be the one to hold off.

#8 Acaseaday
Was on the front end of races at a higher level and could show more courage under these conditions.

Race Summary
Starship Taxi has been close lately and has a good chance to close this out with a solid run; can get win No. 2 here.

Dallas Cowboys at LA Rams 9/13/20 - NFL

The Dallas Cowboys will visit SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California to play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday September 13 in the opening game of the NFL regular season for both on Sunday Night Football. Last season was disappointing for Dallas as the Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the postseason. Jason Garrett is no longer head coach as Mike McCarthy took the reins and will debut on the Cowboys sideline Sunday.

Although Dallas played just .500 last season, the Cowboys had the number one offense in the NFL and were in the top 10 in defense. Quarterback Dak Prescott has been tagged with the franchise label and returns while the Cowboys have an excellent running attack led by star running back Ezekiel Elliott. Prescott has several weapons to throw to, including Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and rookie wideout CeeDee Lamb. Defensively, Dallas is led by linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch and defensive end Demarcus Lawrence.

Los Angeles suffered a severe Super Bowl hangover in 2019 finishing the regular season at 9-7 and missing the postseason. The Rams will no longer have Todd Gurley in the offensive backfield, but quarterback Jared Goff returns, who last season threw for 4,638 yards, 22 touchdowns but a disappointing 16 interceptions. The leading receivers for Los Angeles will be Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds. Taking over for Gurley at running back will be Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr.

The Los Angeles defense has the best overall player in the NFL on that side of the ball in defensive end Aaron Donald. Surrounding Donald on the line will be Michael Brokers and Sebastian Joseph-Day. The linebackers unit will be led by Micah Kiser, Samson Ebukam and Kenny Young, while the secondary has talented Jalen Ramsey at cornerback and Darious Williams and John Johnson III at safety.

Recent Betting Trends

Dallas is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 on fieldturf
The OVER has cashed in 6 of the Cowboys last 7 versus the NFC
Los Angeles is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 versus the NFC
The OVER has cashed in 7 of the Rams last 10 as the dog

Free NFL Pick: Dallas Cowboys -2

Dallas will once again have one of the best offenses in the NFL with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper leading the way. The Cowboys will also want to impress first-year coach Mike McCarthy with a strong effort in the opening game of the regular season on primetime. The Rams are lacking a top tier running back and have problems on the offensive line that will plague Jared Goff all season. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Cowboys win and cover ATS 31-21

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers 9/13/20 - NFL

On Sunday September 13th, the Arizona Cardinals will visit the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California for the opening game of the 2020 NFL regular season for both. Arizona behind quarterback Kyler Murray are expected to have a potent passing game. The Cardinals acquired DeAndre Hopkins from the Houston Texas during the off-season and the talented wide receiver will line up alongside veteran Larry Fitzgerald and up-and-coming star Christian Kirk.

Murray played well in his rookie season during 2019 showing an uncanny ability to remain poised, throw accurately against NFL pass coverages and make the big plays when needed. Defense will be the weak link for the Cardinals. Arizona has a speedy defense that looks to force opponents to turn over the ball but will be hard-pressed in stopping the running game for San Francisco in Week 1.

San Francisco would like to put its Super Bowl loss to Kansas City this past February behind them with a strong performance against Arizona. Jimmy Garoppolo returns under center for the 49ers. Garoppolo led the 49ers offense to fourth in the NFL in total yards and second in both rushing yards and points scored per game. The offensive line remains solid, but lost future hall-of-famer Joe Staley who retired but Trent Williams was signed to fill the position left vacant. The 49ers receiving corps will look different as Emmanuel Sanders is gone and Richie James Jr. and Deebo Samuel have injuries that could cause them to miss early games.

San Francisco had the NFL's best defense against the pass last season allowing only 169.2 yards per game through the air and sacked the quarterback 48 times which was sixth in the league. Ten of the 11 starters on defense from last season return for the 49ers. Last season, San Francisco swept both games of the series against Arizona. The Cardinals put up a good fight in the first outing to lose by three points and were defeated by 10 points in the second meeting between the two.

Recent Betting Trends

Arizona is 3-1-2- ATS in its last 6 versus NFC opponents
The OVER has cashed in 6 of the Cardinals last 8 on grass
San Francisco is 5-2-1 ATS in its last 8 versus NFC opponents
The OVER has cashed in 8 of the 49ers last 11 versus NFC opponents

Free NFL Pick: Arizona Cardinals +7.5

San Francisco is likely to suffer a slight hangover from its Super Bowl loss when facing Arizona in Week 1. The 49ers offense must get used to having new wide receivers and the defense will have its hands full with the trio of top receivers for Arizona and dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray. Arizona has covered the number and three of the last four played in San Francisco and in four the last five overall against the 49ers. Final Score Prediction, San Francisco 49ers win but fall short ATS 27-24.

Tampa Bay Bucs at New Orleans Saints 9/13/20 - NFL

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 13th to play the New Orleans Saints in the opening game of the 2020 NFL regular season for both. Tampa Bay opens the Tom Brady-era on September 13th as the longtime New England Patriots quarterback will now guide the Buccaneers offense. Brady's presence under center has made Tampa Bay a contender in the NFC.

Brady will have several targets to choose from on the Tampa Bay offense including top wide receiver Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the unretired tight end Rob Gronkowski. Defensively, Tampa Bay was one of the worst in the NFL against the pass and points allowed during 2019 but have added top players to the front seven. Tampa Bay had the best rush defense in the NFL last season but that was due to teams being able to throw easily against the defense.

Drew Brees returns to lead the high octane New Orleans offense for what could be his last or next-to-last NFL season. The Saints offense is deep and very talented and is led by running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas who is one of the best if not the best receiver in all of the NFL. Brees could have a field day against one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL over the last two seasons.

Defensively, New Orleans was in the top half of the league last season as they have been in each of the last three. The Saints finished No. 4 against the rush and No. 11 in total defense in 2019. Playing at home has always been a big advantage to the Saints in the enclosed Superdome but not having fans will take that advantage away from New Orleans but nonetheless the Saints defense will give Brady and the Tampa Bay offense fits throughout.

Recent Betting Trends

Tampa Bay is 7-3-1 ATS in its last 11 on the road
The OVER has cashed in 10 of the Buccaneers last 11 versus the NFC
New Orleans is 11-4 ATS in its last 15
The OVER has cashed in 5 of the Saints last 7 versus the NFC South

Free NFL Pick: New Orleans Saints -3.5

NFL fans will get a good view of whether or not Tom Brady can continue his magic under center when he debuts with Tampa Bay on Sunday. The Buccaneers will face a tough Saints defense when playing their NFC South Rivals to open the season on the road. Drew Brees will guide a well-balanced offensive attack led by Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas and lead the Saints to an opening-week victory at home. Final Score Prediction, New Orleans Saints win and cover ATS 30-23.

LA Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals 9/13/20 - NFL

On September 13th, the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium for the opening game of the NFL regular season for both. Tyrod Taylor has become the starting quarterback for the Chargers after long time QB Philip Rivers left the team. Los Angeles has a very talented roster and if Taylor can hold his own under center the Chargers could surprise many in the AFC West. Last season the Chargers were hurt by turnovers as they committed 17 more than they forced, including 20 interceptions thrown by Rivers.

Austin Ekeler is the leading running back for the Chargers after Melvin Gordon moved on to the Denver Broncos. The top wide receiver is Keenan Allen and Mike Williams will start on the opposite side. Hunter Henry will give Taylor a big target at tight end for the Chargers. Defensively, the Chargers will be strong with Joey Bosa, Casey Hayward and Derwin James leading the way for a group that finished No. 2 overall in defense last season. Former pro bowler Chris Harris Jr. at cornerback, defensive tackle Linval Joseph and rookie Kenneth Murray will add strength to the defense.

Cincinnati starts the Joe Burrow-era. The former LSU standout at quarterback will now lead the Bengals offense each Sunday. Burrow was picked No. 1 overall in the NFL draft and is expected to start against the Chargers in Week 1. However, Burrow could find it difficult to put together any offense as the offensive line for Cincinnati is one of the worst in the NFL and the crop of skill position players is weak.

Joe Mixon returns as the top running back for the Bengals and will share duties once again with Giovani Bernard. AJ Green is also expected to return as the top wide receiver. Tyler Boyd, who has two straight 1000-yard receiving seasons, returns for the Bengals. Defensively, Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins are the two big returnees on the defensive line. Cincinnati acquired DJ Reader in free agency, who will help the interior line, but the linebackers and secondary have plenty of new faces they will take a few weeks to find any continuity.

Recent Betting Trends

Los Angeles is 5-1-2 ATS in its last 8 in Week 1
The OVER has cashed in each of the Chargers last 4 on the road
Cincinnati is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 in Week 1
The OVER has cashed in each of the Bengals last 4

Free NFL Pick: Los Angeles Chargers -3.5

Even though Cincinnati will have the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft Joe Burrow starting at quarterback, the Los Angeles Chargers have an excellent defense that will pressure the rookie signal-caller from start to finish and force miscues. Bengals starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor has plenty of experience under center and will guide the Chargers up and down the field against an inexperienced Bengals defense. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Chargers win and cover ATS 24-17.

Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens 9/13/20 - NFL

Baltimore is coming into the game here with an offense that has looked great on the year. The Ravens do have Lamar Jackson coming back to guide the team offensively. Jackson ended up throwing the ball for 3127 yards and 36 touchdowns, but was picked off only 6 times. Jackson did carry the ball 176 times for 1206 yards and 7 touchdowns. Mark Ingram II was the second leading rusher and he is back. Last year he carried 202 times for 1018 yards with 10 touchdowns.

With the Ravens they are returning all 3 of the big leaders for the Ravens. That includes Chuck Clark who recorded 73 tackles in the game. Matthew Judon ended up getting a total of 9.5 sacks on the year. The Ravens also return Marlon Humphrey who picked off the opponent 3 times.

Cleveland is going to look to see if Baker Mayfield will come back to being his comfortable self or the player that is all over the place. Mayfield last year ended up throwing for 3827 yards with 22 touchdowns, but was picked off 21 times. Nick Chubb was the consistent player for the Browns offense and is back this year. Chubb last year carried the ball 298 times with 1494 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Myles Garrett is coming back and that could definitely give the Browns defense a bolster. The Browns defense without Garrett struggled quite a bit and did not have the same edge. The other thing that the Browns do have going for them is the addition of 2 standouts from the national championship team from last year as the LSU draft picks are both projected to start the game.

Recent Betting Trends

Cleveland are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland's last 6 games.

Free NFL Pick: Cleveland Browns +8

The Ravens have the offensive power coming into the game here, but the Browns have Garrett back and have quite a formidable pair coming from LSU. Look for that to make the difference in the game as the power of the Cleveland defense actually keeps the game close enough to prevent Baltimore from covering, but not from winning. Final Score Prediction, Baltimore Ravens win, but do not cover ATS 17-10.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Football Club 9/13/20 - NFL

The Eagles are coming to the year with a lot of promise. However, the Eagles are going to rely on starter Carson Wentz to stay healthy for the year. Wentz last year threw for 4039 yards and 27 touchdowns, but was picked off 7 times. The leading rusher for the Eagles was Miles Sanders who carried the ball 179 times for 818 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Defensively Philadelphia is bringing back a lot of the starters from the team last year. That includes Brandon Graham who pulled the quarterback down 8.5 times for the Eagles. The leading tackler is gone for the Eagles as Malcolm Jenkins left for New Orleans. However, the Eagles defensive backfield is fairly well balanced.

Washington for their part will be looking to see how well Dwayne Haskins Jr. settles into the game. Haskin was not the starter in his rookie year, but this season has a lot of question marks surrounding him. Last year Haskins threw for 1365 yards with 7 touchdowns, but 7 picks as well. One key player that could help Haskins out quite a bit is Adrian Peterson who carried the ball 211 times for 898 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Jack Del Rio will be looking to their first round pick to have a lot of return. Chase Young was drafted to help the defensive line fill some holes, but also put some pressure on the quarterback. The rest of the defense if Young is able to play at the same level he did last year for Ohio State will be elevated to a completely new level.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Philadelphia's last 9 games.
Philadelphia are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

The Eagles are coming in with the offense fairly intact and a defense that has been very well balanced in how they have played. Now, the other side of the coin is the Washington team come in with a lot of question marks. Look for the Washinton defense to play good on the year, but the offense for Washington is most likely will be contained in the game as the Eagles are unable to do much. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Eagles win and cover 34-17.

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots 9/13/20 - NFL

The Dolphins will be looking to see how their offense does to start the year off. Last year, Fitzpatrick was left trying to find a path downfield and often it was by his feet as he never had time to set up in the pocket. For all of his scrambling Fitzpatrick did throw for 3529 yards and 20 touchdowns, but was picked off 13 times. The sad running game seen Fitzpatrick carry the ball 54 times for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns, but even then it could be a question of how long he plays before the Dolphins put in Tua.

Defensively the Dolphins could not get any worse. The Dolphins had the worst scoring defense on the year and looked horrible. Now, the Dolphins did make some additions to the defense, but in most circles the moves were not enough to improve quite a bit.

This year the Patriots are coming in with an offense that has a lot of question marks. It seems kind of odd to mention the question marks, but the Patriots have to replace Tom Brady and quite a few other players as well. Jarrett Stidham is the quarterback who is projected to start for the Patriots. Sony Michel was the leading rusher for the Patriots last year. He carried the ball 247 times for 912 yards and 7 touchdowns.

With the Patriots the defense has to replace their leading tackler and sack machine as Jamie Collins left the team in the off season to Detroit. On the brighter side of the game for New England they are returning Stephen Gilmore who picked the ball off 6 times

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings 9/13/20 - NFL

The Packers are coming back to the season here with a future Hall of Famer guiding the team in Aaron Rodgers. He managed to throw for 4002 yards with 26 touchdowns and only 4 picks last year. The Packers are even bringing back Aaron Jones who ran for 1084 yards and 16 touchdowns last year as well. Green Bay added in Devin Funchess to provide Rodgers with a new target as well.

Defensively the Packers are bringing back their sack leader from last year in Za”Darius Smith who put the quarterback down 13.5 times and Preston Smith who recorded 12 sacks. Kevin King is back as the interception leader from the team last year as he pulled down 5 picks.

Minnesota is coming to the game here as a team that can really run the NFC North if they wanted to. Kirk Cousins is the quarterback that is coming back for the Vikings. Last season he threw the ball for 3603 yards and 26 touchdowns, but was picked off 6 times. The leading running back for the Vikings was Dalvin Cook who managed to get 1135 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Danielle Hunter is coming back on the year for the Vikings. Last year he was a sack machine with a total of 14.5 sacks. In addition to the great pressure end the Vikings are bringing back Anthony Harris who had 6 picks. One question mark on defense is how good Jeff Gladney will be at corner as he is the rookie coming out of TCU for the Vikings.

Green Bay did good last year, but the offensive line for the Packers has had issues in the past and it will be hard pressed to get past those issues again here. Look for the Packers to play good on the year, but in this game the rush of Minnesota coupled with the improved defensive backfield with Gladney will make it too difficult for Green Bay to get the win as the Vikings pull off the win. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Vikings win and cover ATS 24-17.

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions 9/13/20 - NFL

The Chicago Bears are looking to have a new quarterback in the game as they traded for Nick Foles. The running back that the Bears are going to looking to carry the team is David Montgomery. Montgomery is coming in for his second year and last year he carried the ball 242 times for 889 yards with 6 touchdowns.

Defensively the Bears are bringing back quite a few starters from the year last year. However, it really depends on which one of the players shows up in the game to make the difference. One player that the Bears will rely on to help them in leading the team defensively is Khalil Mack who recorded 8.5 sacks last year.

Detroit is one team that has really looked decent at times, but are going to rely on their offense to carry the team. The Lions are bringing back Matthew Stafford who threw for 2499 yards and 19 touchdowns last year, but was picked off 5 times. The leading running back for the Lions is Kerryon Johnson and he carried the ball only 113 times for403 yards, but did get 3 touchdowns.

The Lions are bringing back a good rushing end in Trey Flowers who put the quarterback down 7 times last year. Now, the Lions do have to replace Devon Kennard who recorded 7 sacks as well. One potential bright spot for the Lions could be the potential that Jeff Okudah can bring as a shut down corner.

Recent Betting Trends

Chicago are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 14 of Chicago's last 20 games.
Detroit are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games.
Detroit are 0-9 SU in their last 9 games.

This game here will be a challenge for both of the teams. However, the Lions are coming in with their offense largely intact and with the quarterback being the same from last year. However, the Lions even upgraded their defensive back position by bringing in Okudah. Look for the game here to be a challenge between the teams, but it will see the Bears keeping the game close in a losing effort. Final Score Prediction, Detroit Lions win and cover ATS 24-20.

NY Jets at Buffalo Bills 9/13/20 - NFL

The New York Jets travel on the road to Bills Stadium to take on the Buffalo Bills. The Jets struggled last season but were able to win three of their last four games to finish at 7-9 on the year. The Bills were able to sneak into the playoffs last year, posting a 10-6 record before falling in the Wild Card game in overtime to the Houston Texans.

With the exodus of Tom Brady and other key members of last year’s AFC North champions, the Bills have a solid chance to win the division this season. Buffalo will be looking for a big step forward from third-year QB Josh Allen who threw for 3000 yards and 20 touchdowns last season to nine interceptions. Allen looks to be the quarterback of the future for the Bills and his mobility has presented issues for defenses, totaling 510 rush yards and a team-high 9 rushing touchdowns.

The Bills added weapons for Allen in the offseason including pro-bowler wide receiver Stephon Diggs who caught 64 passes for 1,130 yards and 6 touchdowns for Minnesota last season. Buffalo also returns John Brown and Cole Beasley, the two leading receivers from last year’s team.

The Jets similarly have a young quarterback in former 3rd overall pick Sam Darnold. Darnold has not seen the same level of success as Allen in their limited time in the NFL, whether that be due to the lack of offensive line, coaching or weapons remains to be seen. Darnold threw 13 interceptions last season, compared to just 19 touchdowns, and totaled just over 3000 yards passing on the season.

To help Darnold, the Jets signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Rashaad Perriman and will return Jamison Crowder. Crowder totaled 78 receptions for 833 yards and caught 6 touchdowns last season. The Jets will not have Robby Anderson back as he left to Carolina in free-agency; Anderson was the second leading receiver on the team with 52 catches and 779 yards.

The Bills defense was the key to last years’ playoff run allowing just 16.2 points per game ranking second in scoring defense. They also added veteran corner Josh Norman, who’s best days are likely behind them but can at the very least provide some depth in the secondary which in the NFL is never a bad thing.

The Jets allowed 22.4 points per game last season, middle of the pack defense that will need to take a step forward if the Jets would like to be competitive. We are beginning to see what we’re going to get from the Jets offense and unless either Darnold and the offense take a big step forward or the defense improves, the Jets will finish out of the playoff picture again.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Jets' last 6 games.
NY Jets are 4-16 SU in their last 20 games on the road.

Free NFL Pick: Buffalo Bulls -6.5

The Bills are a trendy under the radar team this season and deservedly so after a 10-6 season and an overtime playoff loss. The addition of Stephon Diggs on the offensive end and a quarterback in Josh Allen who has gotten better every year, the Bills look poised for a breakthrough season. The Jets added a piece in Rashaad Perriman on the offensive end but lost Robbie Anderson and there are still a ton of questions on the defensive end, specifically how the Jets will fare without Pro Bowler Jamal Adams anchoring the secondary. With a more proven team, the Bills start the season off with a win at home in decisive fashion. Final score prediction, Buffalo Bills win and cover ATS 27-17.

Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars 9/13/20 - NFL

The Indianapolis Colts are playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The Indianapolis Colts are looking to have a great year after some big off season moves and the Jaguars just waived one of their best players in Leonard Fournette. The Colts want veteran quarterback, Phillip Rivers to lead them to an AFC championship.

The Indianapolis Colts were 7-9 last year. The Colts looked better than what their record showed last year. The Colts were not great offensively last year after losing their starting quarterback right before the season started. The Colts were a terrible 25th in the league last year in total yards on offense, having 5,238 yards. The Colts have made some changes to the offensive roster and will be looking to have a way better offensive season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were 6-10 last year. Jacksonville was not a very good team last year and will be about the same team this year. The Jaguars were 20th in the NFL last year in total yards, having 5,468 yards in 2019. The Jaguars will need to be better defensively if they want to be better this year.

Recent Betting Trends

The Indianapolis Colts were 1-5 SU their last 6 games.
The total has gone over in 4 of the Colt’s last 5 games played in September.
The Jacksonville Jaguars were 2-6 in their last 8 games.
The total has gone over in 6 of the Jaguar’s last 9 games while being the underdog.

Free NFL Pick: Indianapolis Colts -7.5

In this matchup I like the Indianapolis Colts to win and cover the spread. The Colts are a much better team this year and will be able to lock up the Jaguars offense. The Colts ranked 18th in total defense last year and focused on defense in the draft and off season moves. To go along with that Jacksonville was not great offensively and got rid of their best player. Final score prediction, Indianapolis Colts will win and cover ATS 31-21.

Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons 9/13/20 - NFL

The Seattle Seahawks will kick off the 2020 season on the road with a cross country trip to the Mercedez Benz Superdome to take on the Atlanta Falcons. The Seahawks fell 28-23 in the Divisional playoffs to the Green Bay Packers, bringing an end to a solid 11-5 including a wildcard playoff win over the Eagles. The Falcons had a disappointing 2019 campaign, starting off 1-7 before winning six of their last eight and finishing second in the NFC South at 7-9.

The Falcons will return a ton of weapons along with some new look faces from last year’s team, one that averaged 379 yards per game, the 5th most in the NFL but averaged just 23.8 points per game. Franchise quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 4,400+ yards and 26 touchdowns, throwing 14 interceptions as well. Ryan and the Falcons will return leading receiver Julio Jones who caught 1300 yards and 6 touchdowns last season. Atlanta also returns weapons in Calvin Ridley and tight end Austin Hooper, who both caught over 800 yards and scored 13 combined touchdowns.

Atlanta will be without 2019 leading rusher Devontae Freeman but in return made the addition of Todd Gurley, who throughout his career has been a force but has had injuries troubles in recent years. Playing for the LA Rams last season, Gurley rushed for 857 years and 12 touchdowns. The year before that, Gurley led the league in touchdowns with 17 and totaled 1251 yards rushing.

Seattle will have high expectations coming off of a playoff win last season and has a ton to be excited about on the offensive side of the ball. Former MVP Russel Wilson is in his prime and was exceptional last season throwing for 31 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions, totaling 4,110 yards passing. He’ll return the duo of Tyler Locket and DK Metcalf who combined for nearly 2,000 yards receiving and 15 touchdowns. Despite being just a rookie, DK Metcalf made his presence felt on defenses and Seattle hopes to see another step forward from him.

Seattle went to a backfield by committee at the beginning of last season but Cris Carson won over the job and went onto rush for 1230 yards and 7 touchdowns. Carson had ball security issues that need to be resolved but he figures to be the feature back for Seattle this season.

The Falcons and Seahawks were comparatively very close on the defensive end both allowing 24.9 points per game last season, ranking tied for 23rd in scoring defense. The Falcons looked to immediately improve on that in the draft picking up A.J. Terrell, a corner to attempt to negate the high flying attacks that they often face in the NFC South, and in the second round adding to their defensive line with Marlon Davidson.

Seattle also went with two defensive players for their first two picks, getting linebacker Jordyn Brooks at 27th overall and then traded up to get edge rusher, Darrell Taylor.

Recent Betting Trends

Seattle are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games.
Seattle are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Atlanta's last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Atlanta's last 9 games against Seattle.

Free NFL Pick: Seattle Seahawks -1.5

With the spread this low I am going to go with the more proven commodities with Seattle. Seattle addressed their need for a run stopper in Jordyn Brooks and are poised to have one of the best offenses in the league returning MVP candidate Russel Wilson and the emergence of DK Metcalf as one of the best young wide receivers in the league. The Falcons have question marks in the backfield with Todd Gurley’s’ injury status unclear and Matt Ryan’s turnover issues last season. Final score prediction, Seattle Seahawks win and cover ATS 28-24.

Las Vegas Raiders at Carolina Panthers 9/13/20 - NFL

The Las Vegas Raiders are opening up the 2020 season against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte North Carolina. The Las Vegas Raiders were 7-9 last year and are looking to have a better year this under 3rd year coach, Jon Gruden. The Carolina Panthers were 5-11 last year and will need to have a better season to compete in a very difficult NFC South.

The Las Vegas Raiders were 11th in the NFL last year in total yards, with 5,819 yards. The Raiders offense is led by veteran quarterback, Derek Carr. Carr was 10th in QBR for quarterbacks last year. The Raiders will need him to step up this year if they want to win more games with this high-powered offense.

The Carolina Panthers were 19th in the NFL last year in total yards, with 5,469 yards. The Panthers have arguably one of the best players in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey ran for 1,387 yards and 15 touchdowns last year. Not only did he run for that much, McCaffrey had 1,005 yards receiving with 4 receiving touchdowns.

Recent Betting Trends

The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-5 ATS their last 7 games.

Not only were they good offensively but both teams were terrible defensively last year, ranking 24th and 31st in total defense. Final score prediction, Carolina Panthers will win but best play is on this over 30-25.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES VS. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM PREDICTIONS

PICKS

PHI Eagles Win -6.0 Point Spread
-105

Under 42.5 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The Washington franchise’s first-ever game as The Washington Football Team will come against the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Washington’s name is not the only thing that is new. It begins the 2020 campaign with a new head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator. Ron Rivera has a big job on his hands trying to turn this organization around, and it is an organization that has not made the playoffs since 1999. The Football Team formerly known as the Redskins started three different quarterbacks last season, ranked bottom in points per game and passing yards per game. Dwayne Haskins will be under center this season, he started seven games last season, going 2-5. He will need to improve his accuracy and avoid taking sacks if he is going to succeed in 2020. And how is Haskins going to get help from the running game when Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson were just released during the offseason?

Although the Eagles did not exactly have the best 2019 season, they still blew away Washington in the standings (9-7 to 3-13). Quarterback Carson Wentz got hurt in the playoffs, but he was mostly effective when healthy. Drafting Jalen Hurts does not help Wentz any, but he Philadelphia drafted Jalen Reagor in the first round along with John Highower and Quez Watkins in later rounds. DeSean Jackson returns from injury and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is expected to make the year-two leap. This offense can be dangerous, but it isn’t particularly deep so staying healthy is paramount. On defense, the Eagles traded for cornerbacks Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman. They also added DT Javon Hargrave from Pittsburgh to go alongside Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, and Malik Jackson. This team should be able to win by a touchdown–or more–over the WFT.

Game Totals Pick
The Eagles also addressed their wide receiver depth in free agency by bringing in Marquise Goodwin, but he ended up opting out due to COVID-19. Up front they have already lost All-Pro guard Brandon Brooks and LT Andre Dillard to season-ending injuries. Jordan Mailata will start at left tackle, Jason Peters will play guard following Brooks’ injury, and tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai is gone. This unit has been one of the best in recent years but there are some concerns heading into the season. It has to compete right away with No. 2 overall pick Chase Young, too. Young is now part of a 4-3 defense, switching from a 3-4 under new DC Jack Del Rio. The new formation should suit the talent on this roster much better that what was going on with that side of the ball in the past. The defensive front could be one of the best in the league–also featuring Ryan Kerrigan, Montez Sweat, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, and Jonathan Allen. There really isn’t anything to suggest that either offense will find much success on Sunday. Take the under.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. ATLANTA FALCONS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

SEA Seahawks Win -2.0 Point Spread
-110

Over 49.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The Atlanta Falcons have been terrible starters the past two seasons. They at least managed to go 7-9 last year thanks to a relatively meaningless last-season surge that did nothing but save head coach Dan Quinn’s job and prevent them from earning a top-10 draft pick. Poll the Falcons’ fanbase and you can be sure the majority would vote that Quinn returning isn’t a bad thing. Even though the head coach remains, Atlanta endured plenty of coaching and player personnel changes during the offseason. Thus squad features 11 former first-round picks starting on offense, but many are either new to the NFL or new to the Falcons. To say chemistry may not be cooking right away would be a gross understatement. Todd Gurley has taken over as the primary running back, but his knees have been questionable for two years now. Speaking of question marks, that is exactly what Atlanta’s offensive line is. Seattle’s defense looks a little bit different after various comings and goings, but safety Jamal Adams and cornerback Quinton Dunbar have been brought on board. Everyone knows a strong secondary is exactly how you combat Matt Ryan and the Falcons’ pass-happy offense.

On the other side of the ball, the Falcons parted ways from cornerback Desmond Trufant, defensive end Vic Beasley, and linebacker De’Vondre Campbell–just to name a few. That could be very good news for Russell Wilson, who is the kind of quarterback that has given Atlanta’s defense fits in the past. The Falcons’ pass-rush has been nonexistent in recent seasons, and even when it has been there the rushers struggle to bring down nimble QBs like Wilson. The Seahawks went 11-5 in 2019 and nothing suggests they won’t be considerably better than the Falcons again in 2020.

Game Totals Pick
Although the number is sizable, it is not too big for quarterbacks like Ryan and Wilson. Especially when you consider some defense factors, you have to like those quarterbacks’ chances of finding success in Week 1. Atlanta is extremely young in the secondary, starting Isaiah Oliver and A.J. Terrell at cornerback. Terrell is a rookie, and the middle of the first round was thought to be too high of a spot for him. Safety Keanu Neal is coming back from two ACL tears. If the front seven does not get pressure on Wilson, and there is no reason to think they will, the secondary is going to be in for a long day at the office. The good news for the Falcons is that Ryan has weapons like Gurley, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Hayden Hurst at his disposal. It is safe to say that Seattle’s new-look secondary could get a rude welcoming in the opening game. Expect the offenses to look good early and often in this one.

CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

CLE Browns Win +7.5 Point Spread
-110

Over 48.5 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The Cleveland Browns were an offseason media darling last year, receiving just about as much hype as you could possibly imagine, and then they fell completely flat. Things were a disaster right from the start, and head coach Freddie Kitchens was shown the door after just one year. For a few reasons, I think they’re in for a bounce-back year, and will at least keep this one very close. Kevin Stefanski should do a much better job than Kitchens, and the talent is still all there. The signing of tight end Austin Hooper gives Baker Mayfield a truly elite group of pass-catchers, and the signing of right tackle Jack Conklin gives them a rock-solid offensive line. The Browns smacked the Ravens by 15 points when they met in Baltimore last year, so there’s clearly not too much of a gap here. Cleveland is going to come out on fire, while the Ravens will be a bit too comfortable on the heels of their 14-2 campaign. A defensive line featuring Myles Garrett, Larry Ogunjobi, Olivier Vernon, and Sheldon Richardson will be able to get enough penetration to keep Lamar Jackson in check.

Game Totals Pick
I also like the over here. In these two teams’ meetings last year, there were 111 total points scored. Cleveland quietly has one of the best groups of skill position guys in the league with Odell Beckham Jr, Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, and Hooper. The only problem last year was the offensive line, which should be much improved in 2020. After cutting Earl Thomas due to locker room issues, I expect the back half of Baltimore’s defense to struggle and to be susceptible to the deep ball. No defense is going to be able to completely Jackson, and he’s going to make a number of big plays no matter what. This one has shootout written all over it.

NEW YORK JETS VS. BUFFALO BILLS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

NY Jets Win +6.5 Point Spread

Over 39.5 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
AFC East action here as the Buffalo Bills host the New York Jets. Everybody in the football world seems to be down on the Jets right now, which is how you know there’s probably value in backing them. Everybody seems to have forgotten but the Jets quietly closed the 2019 season on fire, winning six of their last eight games. If Luke Falk didn’t have to play three games while Sam Darnold had mono, then the team might’ve finished above .500 and the narrative would be completely different right now. Darnold was adjusting to Adam Gase’s system last year, and the mono certainly slowed his progress. Now with a full year with Gase, I expect him to look much sharper in 2020. Le’Veon Bell certainly can’t be any worse than he was last year. I’m far from sold on Josh Allen, and I think the Bills overachieved last year. They’re due for some regression, and getting this many points is a steal.

Game Totals Pick
I think we’re going to see a good amount of points here. The Jets made major upgrades to their offensive line which should help Darnold, Bell, and the offense, but they didn’t do too much to address the defense. I think Buffalo’s defense is going to take a step back, and the losses of Jordan Phillips, Lorenzo Alexander, and Shaq Lawson will really hurt them. The Jets lost the heart and soul of their defense in Jamal Adams this offseason, so the newly acquired Stefon Diggs should be able to get loose deep a few times for Buffalo. This one will be higher scoring than people think.

Three starting cornerbacks – Trae Waynes, Xavier Rhodes, Mackensie Alexander, and safeties Jayron Kearse and Andrew Sendejo. They signed Yannick Ngakoue two weeks before kickoff to help fill the void left by Griffen, but this unit is missing a tonne of talent. They also have new co-coordinators, Adam Zimmer, and Andrew Patterson. They addressed some needs by drafting nine defensive players, but this defense will take time to gel, and going up against an elite signal-caller like Aaron Rodgers in Week 1 is far from ideal. The Vikings also lost their best wide receiver in Stefon Diggs and offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, who took the head coaching role at the Cleveland Browns.

The Packers had an intriguing offseason. They didn’t sign or draft a wide receiver, instead opted to draft quarterback Jordan Love. Matt LaFleur clearly wants to run the ball more in 2020. He drafted TE/FB Josiah Deguara, RB A.J. Dillon, and three offensive linemen. The Packers had the fourth-most efficient rushing offense in the league in 2019, and in two meetings against the Vikings, they went 2-0 and averaged 5.8 and 4.4 yards per rush. With Linval Joseph missing from the heart of the Vikings defensive line Aaron Jones should have another big day – he rushed for 116 and 154 yards last season. The Packers have more continuity and match up well against the Vikings, plus they’re catching points. If you shop around, there’s still some +3’s out there. I would play the moneyline if you’re looking for bigger returns. Give me the divisional underdog.

Game Totals Pick
A few factors point to the under here. The Vikings have a new offensive coordinator and will be without their best wide receiver from 2019. They will also be starting rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson, playing his first game as a pro and taking time to adjust. Things might take a few weeks for their offense to click and get into a rhythm without a full offseason. They should be looking to run the ball against a Green Bay team that ranked 27th in defensive rush efficiency. Dalvin Cook rushed for 154 yards on 20 attempts in the one game he played against the Packers last season. We also know Green Bay will want to run the ball, so when you have two teams who are likely to want to run the ball, it means lower scoring. Give me the under.

MIAMI DOLPHINS VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

MIA Dolphins Win +6.5 Point Spread
-110

Under 43.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The Cam Newton era will officially kickoff here for the New England Patriots as they host the Miami Dolphins. I’m excited to see Cam, but there’s no way I could lay this large of a line in his debut. He played in only two games last year, and didn’t have a full offseason to acclimate to his new surroundings. The Pats’ departures certainly didn’t end with Tom Brady. They had perhaps the most significant COVID-19 opt outs of any team, as key guys like offensive tackle Marcus Cannon, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, and safety Patrick Chung all elected to sit out the season. It’s hard to understate the significance of those losses, and I don’t get why everyone is just assuming they’ll figure it out. This Dolphins team made major upgrades this offseason, adding guys like Kyle Van Noy (from the Pats) and Byron Jones to bolster the defense. Take Miami on the spread, and they might even win this game outright.

Game Totals Pick
I also think the under makes some sense here. Newton simply doesn’t have too many weapons to throw too outside of an aging Julian Edelman, especially after fellow receiver Marqise Lee opted out. In his first start under Bill Belichick, I think he’ll struggle early on before adjusting as the season goes on. As I mentioned above Miami made a couple huge signings for their defense, but didn’t do much on offense. Ryan Fitzpatrick is serviceable, but I don’t think he’s going to come on the road and light it up in Week 1 against a Belichick defense. This has become a fierce rivalry in recent years, and I think we see a hard fought and low scoring affair.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS VS. CAROLINA PANTHERS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

LV Raiders Win -3.0 Point Spread
-120

Under 48.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
NFC vs. AFC here in the first week of the season as the new look Carolina Panthers host the Las Vegas Raiders. ‘New look’ might actually be an understatement, as virtually everything about this Panthers team has changed. They’re replacing their quarterback, their coaching staff, and their two best players on defense. As such I think they’re at a massive disadvantage due to the lack of continuity with the heavily shortened offseason, and I’m making a play on Las Vegas. The Raiders quietly made major strides last year in their second season under Jon Gruden, and I’m expecting another leap in year three. They’ve got a very solid offensive line, and the addition of first-round receiver Henry Ruggs should be huge for Derek Carr. Without James Bradberry or Luke Kuechly, the Panthers don’t really have many playmakers left on defense. The Matt Rhule era will not be starting off with a bang, take the Raiders.

Game Totals Pick
I’m also playing the under in this opener. Teddy Bridgewater is the Panthers’ new starting quarterback, and I’m not too optimistic about his outlook. He’s got a very inspirational story and is easy to root for, but he’s also started only six games since the 2015 season. Those starts also came under Sean Payton, and with an elite Saints roster around him. Now he’s going to be behind a much worse offensive line, and I don’t think he’s going to fare very well. The Raiders are going to want to pound the rock with Josh Jacobs, and Carolina will be handing it off to Christian McCaffrey a ton, as well, which will keep the clock moving.

DET Lions Win -3.0 Point Spread
-105

Under 44.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
NFC North rivalry game here as the Detroit Lions host Chicago Bears in Week 1. I’m high on the Lions’ upside this year, and I love them in this opener. The Bears are rolling with Mitchell Trubisky to start the season, but if they had any confidence in him whatsoever they wouldn’t have traded for Nick Foles and then given him a bunch of guaranteed money. Trubisky is going to be looking over his shoulder from the opening snap, which spells doom for the UNC product. The Lions are coming off an abysmal season, but everyone seems to have forgotten that they were looking great early on before Matthew Stafford hurt his back. Now with a healthy Stafford they’re an excellent sleeper team, but oddsmakers haven’t caught up yet. Detroit has a solid offensive line, a very deep backfield, and some great pass-catching options. Pound them here at home.

Game Totals Pick
I also like the under in this spot. Trubisky is an absolute train wreck, and this Lions defense has gotten a lot better since the last time we saw them. The secondary has been completely revamped, with new cornerback duo Jeff Okudah and Desmond Trufant providing a massive upgrade. The signing of linebacker Jamie Collins gives them an immediate leader on that side of the ball, and he’s very familiar with Matt Patricia’s defense from their time with the Patriots together. The strength of this Bears team is still their defense, and Stafford could be a bit rusty coming off such a long hiatus with no preseason to help warm up. With two division rivals both desperate to start the year off with a win, we should see a pretty scrappy game.

IND Colts Win -7.5 Point Spread
-110

Over 45.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
Thee Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Indianapolis Colts here on the first Sunday of NFL action. I’m very high on some of the moves Indianapolis made this offseason, and I think they are going to win big here. Philip Rivers is a huge upgrade over Jacoby Brissett, and people seem to forget that he was playing at an MVP level in 2018. Now reunited with head coach Frank Reich and behind the best offensive line in his career, I’m expecting big things from him. The Jaguars are tanking harder than any team I can remember in recent years, trading away virtually every veteran with any value. The team has been completely stripped down, and head coach Doug Marrone is a dead man walking. The team is going all-in on getting an early draft pick next spring, and I don’t expect them to look too competitive. Without guys like Jalen Ramsey, Calais Campbell, AJ Bouye, and Yannick Ngakoue, they’ve lost virtually all of their defensive talent. Rivers has reportedly looked great in camp, and Indy is going to win this game by multiple scores.

Game Totals Pick
I think the over also makes sense here. Indianapolis is going to get up big in this game early on, as when a coach like Reich has a long time to prepare for a game you know the opening script is going to be great. Jacksonville is starting a bunch of rookies and young guys on defense, and a veteran quarterback like Rivers knows how to take advantage of defenders in over their head. Jacksonville will be playing catch-up, so they will start getting pass-happy quick which will keep the clock stopped. Expect to see D.J. Chark put up some big numbers in garbage time, and Gardner Minshew is going to be letting it sling without hesitation. This one should be pretty high-scoring.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS VS. CINCINNATI BENGALS PREDICTIONS

LA Chargers Win -3.0 Point Spread
-125

Under 44.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
Joe Burrow will make his highly-anticipated NFL debut here as the Cincinnati Bengals host the Los Angeles Chargers. Unfortunately I don’t think that debut will go too well, and Los Angeles will win this one handily. The Chargers made major upgrades on both sides of the ball. They traded for Pro Bowler Trea Turner and signed right tackle Bryan Bulaga to give them the best offensive line they’ve had in many years, and their skill group is still very enviable with guys like Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Hunter Henry. They’ve got one of the best defensive lines in the league with Linval Joseph sliding in between Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and a great secondary as well. Cincinnati is a very young team, and the fact that they didn’t have much of a real offseason together will hurt them more than it will most teams. As such I think there is going to be value in fading them early on. Take Los Angeles on the road.

Game Totals Pick
I like the under even more in this spot. Now that Philip Rivers has moved on to Indianapolis and Tyrod Taylor is the starting quarterback, the Chargers are going to go with a run-first strategy. Head coach Anthony Lynn wants them to be a ground-and-pound type team, and to rely on their defense. Against a rookie quarterback, that’s exactly what they will do here. Burrow didn’t even have a preseason to acclimate himself to the NFL game, and now he will be going up against a cornerback duo of Casey Hayward and Chris Harris. That’s a recipe for disaster, and I don’t see Cincinnati scoring much at all here. This should be a very slow game, and I’m not expecting too many fireworks. This is also Taylor’s first start with this team, so there should be an adjustment period there as well.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

TB Buccaneers Win +3.5 Point Spread
-110

Under 49.0 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The Tom Brady era of Tampa Bay Buccaneers football will get underway when his new team visits the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Oh yeah, the Buccaneers also added longtime Brady sidekick tight end Rob Gronkowski in addition to running back Leonard Fournette. In other words, Tampa Bay has very good chance of being a lot better than it was in 2019. And head coach Bruce Arians’ club was actually a lot better than people probably think. The Bucs went 7-9; they just seemed a lot worse because Jameis Winston infamously threw 30 interceptions. How does a team that led the NFL in both passing offense and rushing defense fail to make the playoffs? The answer to that is: throw 30 interceptions. Tampa Bay did not really mess with success this offseason from a defensive standpoint. Ndamukong Suh was brought back and he is reason enough to expect that this team will be dominant against the run once again. The front of Tampa Bay’s 3-4 set also includes Vita Vea and William Gholston—a scary proposition for opposing offenses.

As for the Saints, Drew Brees is back but is also on the wrong side of 40 years old. Alvin Kamara appeared to be holding out but eventually said he wasn’t. Whatever the case, Kamara has not had many reps heading into the 2020 campaign. He already took a step back in terms of production last year, so there is some cause for concern there. On defense the Saints lost safety Vonn Bell, linebacker A.J. Klein, and cornerback Eli Apple. Those departures can and probably will be overcome, but depth is not exactly overflowing on this unit. Take Tampa Bay, but definitely take the 3.5 points as opposed to the moneyline. It would not be overly surprising if the Saints win by a field goal. Of course, a straight up win for Brady in his first game with a new team is by no means out of the question.

Game Totals Pick
Brady may be the greatest of all time, but he is no longer one of the best quarterbacks in football. You can’t blame him, of course; that is just what age does. In his final season with the Patriots, the six-time Super Bowl champion completed only 60.8 percent of his passes (his lowest since 2013) and compiled a rating of 88.0 (also his lowest since 2013). Gronkowski is on the wrong side of 30 (31 years old) and last played in the NFL in 2018. Brady and Gronk also going up against a Saints defense that ranked fourth in the NFL against the run last year. Speaking of that ever-improving defense, it has added safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Margus Hunt as free agents. As for Tampa Bay’s ‘D,’ it not only led the NFL in rushing defense last season but also limited opponents to the worst yards per carry average in the entire league. While the Bucs have a good chance of covering a +3.5 spread, it is because they can keep this game somewhat low scoring–not because Brady is going to set the world on fire right away. Go with the under.

ARIZONA CARDINALS VS. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

ARZ Cardinals Win +7.0 Point Spread
-110

Under 47.5 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
I’m still not over the bad beat from this game last season. The line closed +9.5, and the 49ers scored with 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter to take a 30-26 lead. They then scored again on the last play of the game when a Larry Fitzgerald lateral went wrong. It turned into a rugby match, and the 49ers scored a meaningless touchdown with time expired to win by 10. These two teams had contrasting offseasons. The 49ers are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and lost some offensive weapons – WR Emmanuel Sanders, WR Marquise Goodwin, OT Joe Staley, and RB Matt Breida. They also lost pass rusher DeForest Buckner, who signed with the Colts. WR Travis Benjamin opted out, Deebo Samuel, rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and center Ben Garland are dealing with injuries and missed time during practice this week. They look like they could be extremely short-handed on offense heading into Week 1.

The Cardinals made a splash in free agency, signing wide receiver Deandre Hopkins. This gives Kyler Murray a legit number one receiver to work with heading into his second year, and I’m expecting big things. They also added some much-needed help defense. Dre Kirkpatrick should go alongside Patrick Peterson, and Byron Murphy Jr. should improve in his second year in the league. Jordan Phillips, Devon Kennard, and rookie Isaiah Simmons will all improve this stop unit in 2020. The Cardinals took the 49ers to the wire in both games last season. They got stronger on both sides of the ball during the offseason and are catching seven points in the season opener. I like them to cover the spread in Week 1, and I’ll also be placing a small wager on the Cardinals moneyline.

Game Totals Pick
Both games were high-scoring last season (50+ points), but with the 49ers missing so many pass catchers, I lean under 47.5. Shanahan will try and run the ball more in Week 1, which will lead to lower scoring. The Cardinals’ defense was good against the run last year. They ranked sixth in defensive run efficiency, and as mentioned above, the Cardinals should be better on defense this season. The 49ers still have a good defense, themselves, with Joey Bosa and Erik Armstead on the edges and rookie Javon Kinlaw inside. It will also be Murray and Hopkin’s first game together against a defense that ranked second against the pass last season, so things might not get off to a hot start.

LA Rams Win +3.0 Point Spread

Over 51 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
The first Sunday Night Football of 2020 will see the Los Angeles Rams host the Dallas Cowboys at their new SoFi Stadium. There is plenty of optimism around the Cowboys this year after having a good offseason. They fired Jason Garrett, had a solid draft, and their schedule looks kind. However, I think they are a team to fade in Week 1. They have a lot of moving parts early on which need to settle in – a new head coach, defensive coordinator, starting center, and rookie cornerback. They also are not the same team away from AT&T Stadium and have struggled on the road. They were 3-5 straight up in 2019 and 3-6 in 2018. The Rams have talent on their roster. Six of their nine wins last year came by at least 10 points. A couple of those huge wins were against great teams like the Saints and Seahawks. This team won the NFC just two years ago and is still mostly intact, and it still has one of the best coaches in the league. I lean toward the home underdog to cover the first Sunday Night Football game of the year.

Game Totals Pick
I like the total more than the side in this game. Both sides should have success moving the ball. Dallas had one of the most efficient offenses in the league last year, averaging 27.1 points per game. Kellen Moore will continue to call plays and welcome the addition of wide receive CeeDee Lamb. This offense will be capable of putting up points on any defense in 2020. The Rams also lost some key pieces on defense. Dante Fowler, Clay Matthews, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Eric Weddle, and Cory Littleton all aren’t back in Los Angeles in 2020. The Rams had a down year on offense last year, but Jared Goff still has a bunch of weapons at his disposal – Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Tyler Higbee, and rookie running back Cam Akers. Dallas was average on defense last year. It ranked 17th against the pass and 14th against the run last year. Goff should have some success in Week 1. The Cowboys did add Everson Griffen to help with their pass rush, but the Rams had the number one pass-blocking offensive line last year according to adjusted sack rate. The Cowboys also lost number one cornerback Byron Jones to the Dolphins, and he will be replaced by rookie Trevon Diggs. I think we’re in for an entertaining Sunday Night Football.

Green Bay Packers Vs Minnesota Vikings
Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: U.S. Bank Stadium
TV Coverage: Fox
Opening Odds: Vikings -3.5 | O/U 46.5 (Line History)
Packers vs Vikings Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
The Minnesota Vikings opened as -3.5 favorites, but that line has since moved to -2.5 at many books as money comes in on the Packers. The total opened at 46.5 and can be found ranging from 45.5 to 46.5 depending on the book.

Green Bay News & Notes
The Packers, once again led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, enter Year 2 under head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur and the front office have made pretty clear their intentions of being a run-first offense, which takes the ball out of Rodgers’ hand. This was evident last season as Rodgers posted his lowest yards per pass attempt (7.03) since 2015.

The team also failed to address an already thin receiving corps either in the draft or through free agency, leaving star wideout Davante Adams as the only real option out wide for Rodgers.

On defense, the Packers return one of the league’s top pass-rushing duos in Preston Smith and Za’Darius Smith and a collection of promising defensive backs.

The Packers went 9-1 in one-score games last season, including the playoffs, a feat they are unlikely to repeat.

Minnesota News & Notes
The Vikings enter the 2020 season fielding a defense missing a couple of key players from last season, including defensive linemen Linval Joseph and Everson Griffen and multiple starting cornerbacks. However, new defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, acquired by trade from Jacksonville, should ease some pass rush concerns.

Minnesota’s offense was an efficient unit in 2019 as the team ranked 28th in plays per game but 16th in points per game. However, that efficiency is likely to take a hit this year following the trade of star receiver Stefon Diggs to Buffalo. Whispers of a possible contract holdout for stud running back Dalvin Cook could derail the offense further, but all indications are that Cook will play in Week 1 as he enters the final year of his deal.

Look for receiver Adam Thielen to have a big game against Green Bay. Thielen projects as a target hog for Kirk Cousins following the departure of Diggs and the reportedly slow development of top draft choice Justin Jefferson.

Betting Pick: Vikings -2.5

Green Bay won both meetings between these teams last season, but we are counting on a bit of regression in the win column for the Packers. The Vikings should not have too much trouble holding Green Bay to a low point total as the Packers’ weapon-devoid offense prefers to slow the game down anyway.

Miami Dolphins Vs New England Patriots
Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: Gillette Stadium
TV Coverage: CBS
Opening Odds: Patriots -5.5 | O/U 43.5 (Line History)
Dolphins vs Patriots Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
The Patriots opened as 5.5-point favorites, but you won’t find the line lower than -6.5 at the majority of sportsbooks. The total of 43.5 has fallen between a half-point and one full point in most spots.

Miami News & Notes
The Dolphins will have their leading rusher from 2019 back on the field in the season opener – but it isn’t a running back. Ryan Fitzpatrick will be under center after pacing a Miami run game that produced just 1,156 total rushing yards last season. To help solve that major problem, Miami brought in a pair of free agents in ex-Eagle Jordan Howard and former 49er Matt Breida.

As for Fitzpatrick, his performance in New England is pivotal if he hopes to fend off rookie Tua Tagovailoa for as long as he can. Tagovailoa’s health was a major question mark coming into the season, but the Dolphins felt sufficiently satisfied that the Alabama Crimson Tide standout was ready to go that they released No. 3 QB Josh Rosen, whom they traded for just last spring.

New England News & Notes
This isn’t the Patriots team that fans have been accustomed to for the past two decades. Brady is gone, replaced by ex-Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton, who will be looking to capitalize on a juicy matchup with a Dolphins defense that allowed the third-most yards per game in the NFL last season. Bettors should consider the OVER on Newton’s passing and rushing yards here.

Why so much confidence in Newton as a rushing threat? The Patriots don’t have many better options at this point. New England’s running back rotation took a hit with word that Damien Harris will begin the year on injured reserve with a hand injury. With Sony Michel still working his way back from offseason foot surgery, the Pats will rely more heavily on James White and Rex Burkhead.

Betting Pick: UNDER 43.5 (-110)

Both offenses will be a work-in-progress for the first few weeks of the season, especially without having played a single preseason game. Expect plenty of three-and-outs in what should ultimately be a low-scoring slog.

Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: Ford Field
TV Coverage: Fox
Opening Odds: Bears -1 | O/U 44.5 (Line History)
Bears vs Lions Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
This one opened close to a pick’em, but the Lions are now 3-point favorites in most spots. The total of 44.5 has shrunk a half-point at the majority of sportsbooks.

Chicago News & Notes
Ryan Pace’s decision to turn to Trubisky over Foles surprised many; Pace explained that Trubisky won the job outright after showing vast improvement in accuracy and pocket presence during camp. Week 1 might just provide a nice confidence boost for the former No. 2 overall pick, who completed 73.8 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and just one interception vs the Lions in 2019.

As for who will be catching those passes, you can expect plenty of targets for a trio of Chicago receiving threats. Running back Tarik Cohen should see a healthy dose of action with starting RB David Montgomery (groin) out two to four weeks, while the receiving duo of Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller looked strong during camp and will be counted on plenty this season.

Detroit News & Notes
The Lions would love nothing more than to put 2019 behind them after they stumbled to a 3-12-1 SU record (6-10 ATS), losing their last nine after sitting at .500 through the first seven weeks. A big part of their struggles was due to the absence of star quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), who missed the final eight games. Detroit averaged just 17.1 points after he went down.

Stafford being back at full health is an important development given how sensational he looked prior to the injury. Stafford was on pace for nearly 5,000 yards and 38 passing TDs over a full season, though he didn’t have to face the Bears’ solid defense at all. Still, look for the Lions to throw early and often in this one, making the OVER on Stafford’s yardage total a decent prop play.

Betting Pick: OVER 44 (-110)

Detroit’s defensive line is in tatters, so Trubisky should be able to extend the success he had vs the Lions in 2019. And Stafford will happily air it out to help Detroit keep pace. We like this one to go well OVER the total.

Seattle Seahawks Vs Atlanta Falcons
Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
TV Coverage: Fox
Opening Odds: Seahawks -1.5 | O/U 49 (Line History)
Seahawks vs Falcons Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Both the opening odds of Seattle as a -1.5 road favorite and the total at 49 points have remained steady in the weeks leading up to this contest. Atlanta was a 7.5-point underdog when these teams met last year, losing 27-20 at home but covering the spread in the process. That game went UNDER its posted total of 49.

Seattle News & Notes
Seattle was one of the NFL’s most dominant teams in 2019 through its first 12 games with a 10-2 record. But after going just 1-3 over the final four games of the regular season, the Seahawks landed in a wild-card spot as the San Francisco 49ers won the NFC West. The Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9 in the first round of the postseason before losing to the Green Bay Packers 28-23, wrapping up a 12-6 SU and 8-9-1 ATS campaign on a 2-4 SU and 1-4-1 ATS skid.

Losing Jadeveon Clowney was a big blow to this defense. Without significantly improving a defense that finished 26th in total yards allowed (381.6 per game) and 22nd in points allowed (24.9 per game) last season, the Seahawks will once again rely heavily on Russell Wilson to outshoot the opposition in 2020.

Atlanta News & Notes
Instead of bouncing back from a disappointing 7-9 campaign in 2018, the Falcons stumbled out of the gate to a 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS start last season. Remarkably, Dan Quinn managed to keep his job through Atlanta’s bye week in Week 9 despite having lost six straight games going into the bye. And even more remarkably, the Falcons did a complete 180 over the second half of the season, going 6-2 SU and ATS with impressive road upsets over the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco as double-digit underdogs.

The Falcons allowed 31.3 points per game on defense through their first eight games and tightened up to allow only 18.6 points per game over the second half of the season. Which version of the Falcons is going to show up this year – the one that looked like a doormat in the first half or the one that looked like a Super Bowl contender in the second?

Betting Pick: OVER 49 points

The last four games between Seattle and Atlanta have produced an average of 54.5 points per game. Look for Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson to put on a show in the NFL’s return Sunday and to light up the scoreboard to go OVER the posted total.

Philadelphia Eagles Vs Washington Football Team
Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: FedExField
TV Coverage: Fox
Opening Odds: Eagles -6 | O/U 45 (Line History)
Eagles vs Washington Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
The Eagles opened up as 6-point favorites, but that number can be found between -6 and -7 depending on the book. The total opened at 45 but has fallen to about 43 at most books with a couple of options in the 43.5 to 44.5 range out there.

Philadelphia News & Notes
The injury bug has been biting the Eagles early and often as they have already lost star guard Brandon Brooks and starting left tackle Andre Dillard for the season. Injuries to veteran wideout Alshon Jeffery and rookie receiver Jalen Reagor add to the carnage on offense for Philly.

The Eagles should field a top-half defense and are one of the best-coached and best-managed teams in the league, so they are a decent bet to beat their projected win total of 9.5 for the season.

Keep an eye on tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert in Week 1. As the Eagles deal with so many injuries to their pass catchers, Ertz and Goedert should be locks for a bunch of targets.

Washington News & Notes
The Washington Football Team underwent a full-scale regime change this offseason as they brought in longtime Panthers coach Ron Rivera to replace incumbent Jay Gruden. Franchise left tackle Trent Williams was shipped to San Francisco in the team’s biggest roster move of the offseason, and plenty of questions remain across the rest of the roster entering the season.

Maybe the biggest question surrounds starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who will have to prove himself to a regime that did not draft him in order to keep his job. A fearsome defensive front led by second overall pick Chase Young is promising, but this team lacks talent in several key areas across the roster.

Washington has the eighth-toughest schedule according to opponent win total projections this season and breaking in new staff and schemes on both sides of the ball in a COVID-shortened offseason is not ideal.

Betting Pick: Eagles -6

Six points is a lot to give up in a divisional matchup in Week 1, especially without teams getting the benefit of preseason tune-up games. But we really don’t see Washington keeping up with the Eagles’ far superior roster.

Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: TIAA Bank Field
TV Coverage: CBS
Opening Odds: Colts -7 | O/U 46.5 (Line History)
Colts vs Jaguars Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Jacksonville is accustomed to being a home underdog against its AFC South rivals, catching points at home for the 17th time in the last 20 meetings. The Jags have won each of the last five outright, but that hasn’t discouraged early bettors from laying the points with Indianapolis. The Colts had moved up to 8-point favorites at some sites as of Monday, and the total had dropped to 45.

Indianapolis News & Notes
If the Colts are going to live up to expectations as favorites to win the AFC South, they’ll need to figure out how to start winning on the road.

Indianapolis comes into 2020 having lost its last five games on the highway, allowing at least 34 points in each of the last three. Included in that streak is a 38-20 defeat at Jacksonville last December, which dropped Indy to a baffling 1-8-1 ATS in its last 10 visits to north Florida.

They’ll also be breaking in a new quarterback in Rivers, although the 17-year veteran’s transition to Indianapolis will certainly be aided by a strong offensive line, a solid receiving corps and a running game that ranked seventh in the NFL last year.

Rivers won’t have tight end Trey Burton to throw to, however, as the free-agent acquisition was placed on injured reserve last week. That could open up more opportunities for two-time Pro Bowler Jack Doyle, who saw a reduction in targets the past two years with Jacoby Brissett at QB.

Rodrigo Blankenship could also have under-the-radar fantasy value as the Colts’ opening-day kicker, replacing future Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri. The undrafted rookie made 82.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in four years at Georgia and made all 200 of his extra-point tries.

Jacksonville News & Notes
The Jaguars are just 11-21 SU over the last two years, and their OVER/UNDER win total for 2020 is the lowest in the league. But Jacksonville has actually been one of the NFL’s best September bets since 2018, going 7-2 ATS in the last nine games in the opening month of the season.

The Jags start the season already thin at running back after waiving former first-round pick Leonard Fournette and placing Ryquell Armstead on injured reserve. Jacksonville worked out former Falcons star Devonta Freeman last week, but the team’s backfield Sunday is expected to be veteran Chris Thompson and a pair of young undrafted free agents in Devine Ozigbo and James Robinson. Robinson might still be worth a look in fantasy this week after leading the FCS in total yards after contact last year at Illinois State.

Betting Pick: Jaguars +8

Nothing seems to come easy for the Colts in Jacksonville, and it may take awhile for Rivers to familiarize himself with Indy’s schemes after spending the past 16 years with the Chargers. Jacksonville should be able to do just enough offensively to stay inside this number.

Date/Time: September 13, 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: M&T Bank Stadium
TV Coverage: CBS
Opening Odds: Ravens -10 | O/U 49 (Line History)
Browns vs Ravens Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
The Ravens opened as massive double-digit favorites – that’s high for a season opener – but have settled into the -8.5 range at the majority of sportsbooks. The total started at 49 but is being offered at 48.5 at most places.

Cleveland News & Notes
The Browns and their fans had high hopes in 2019 but got off to a 2-6 start and couldn’t recover en route to a 6-10 SU mark and a 5-10-1 ATS record. The arrival of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants did little to bolster a Cleveland offense that produced just 20.9 points per game, ranking 22nd in the NFL; the Browns were also 22nd in passing yardage.

So what’s different on the offensive end in 2020? Another year of chemistry between Beckham and Baker Mayfield will help, as will the arrival of pass-catching tight end Austin Hooper from Atlanta. Mayfield threw for 285 or more yards in three of his first four games in 2019 – look for the QB and his teammates to try to get off to a hot start (and consider the OVER on Mayfield’s passing yards).

Baltimore News & Notes
It’s nice to have the defending NFL MVP on your side – and Lamar Jackson is ready to show the world that 2019 was no fluke. After an extraordinary season in which he posted a 36:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio while adding 1,206 rushing yards and seven scores, Jackson has reportedly been working on his passing game in the offseason and could be even more of a threat through the air.

The biggest beneficiary of such a development? Likely wide receiver Marquise Brown, who flashed elite upside as a rookie while finishing with 46 catches for 584 yards and seven touchdowns. He and tight end Mark Andrews are easily Baltimore’s top two receiving threats, and the OVER on Brown’s yard total Sunday is an appealing player prop option.

Betting Pick: Browns +8.5 (-110)

We don’t know anything about anything at this point in the NFL season – so getting 8.5 points, even with Cleveland, is too good to resist here. The Browns have a new head coach, a stronger defense and a more well-rounded offense.

Opening Odds Analysis
Buffalo opened as a 6.5-point favorite and the number has been steady at most sportsbooks with a few moving down to an even -6. The total opened at 40 and can be found between 39 and 40 depending on the book.

Buffalo News & Notes
The Buffalo Bills (9-5-2 ATS and 10-6 SU in 2019) begin the season as the favorite for many bettors to be the first team other than the Patriots to win the AFC East since 2008.

Third-year quarterback Josh Allen got a big boost to his arsenal with the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Acquired in a trade from Minnesota, Diggs is one of the game’s premier deep threats and should help lessen Buffalo’s deep-ball woes in 2020. Allen ranked 29th among 36 qualified passers in deep-ball passer rating last year.

On defense, the Bills return one of the league’s top units, headlined by stud shutdown cornerback Tre’Davious White.

Keep an eye on Bills rookie running back Zack Moss this week as he projects to get the majority of goal-line carries against New York’s soft defensive front.

New York News & Notes
The Jets (7-9 SU and ATS last season) enter 2020 with major question marks on both sides of the ball. New York is missing its two best defensive players from last season with safety Jamal Adams traded away and linebacker C.J. Mosley opting out.

On offense, the Jets are breaking in several new starters on the offensive line and are already dealing with injuries to the receiving corps as projected starters Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims have missed significant time in camp. Neither is likely to play much, if at all, in Week 1.

Slot receiver Jamison Crowder and tight end Chris Herndon are players to watch in Week 1 as the only reliable pass catchers on the team at this point.

Betting Pick: Jets +6.5

The Bills are rightfully the favorite to win this game, though 6.5 points is generous in a Week 1 divisional matchup, particularly in a season with no preseason tune-up games. The Bills and Jets ranked 30th and 31st respectively in points per game in 2019. We like the Jets to cover the number in a low-scoring affair.

Opening Odds: Panthers -1 | O/U 46.5 (Line History)
Raiders vs Panthers Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Maybe it is their new home in Vegas, but the betting public has pounded the Raiders in turning them from 1-point road underdogs to 3-point favorites at most sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

The Panthers are also moving on in a different direction, as quarterback Cam Newton and head coach Ron Rivera are gone, so they may be fade material too with the potential for another Super Bowl appearance in the rear-view mirror.

Las Vegas News & Notes
The Raiders have a new energy about them in Sin City despite the COVID-19 pandemic preventing them from playing in front of fans there this season. Whether or not that travels with them to Charlotte this weekend remains to be seen, but one player who seems to have new life is quarterback Derek Carr.

Carr is hoping the team’s commitment to an explosive offense under head coach Jon Gruden will help him perform at a higher level in his new home. That said, rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III may not become a star in his very first NFL game, so the expectations should be tempered a bit. Vegas and bettors might be pumped about this team, but the harsh reality is the team lost five of its last six games to close out last season.

Carolina News & Notes
A new head coach (Matt Rhule) and starting quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater) are usually something a team and its fan base should be excited about, but these are not the Arizona Cardinals of last year. Regardless, Rhule brings an innovative mind to the Panthers from Baylor, and he will have some help from former LSU passing game co-ordinator Joe Brady as his offensive co-ordinator.

That duo will work hard to keep Bridgewater upright and healthy, as well as star running back Christian McCaffrey, who led Carolina in rushing yards (1,387) and receptions (116) a year ago. Bridgewater proved to be a viable starter in 2019 while filling in for the injured Drew Brees with the New Orleans Saints, although he will likely find that the Panthers do not have nearly the same weapons as his old team.

Betting Pick: Panthers +3.5

Usually, you may fade this type of situation for Carolina with new personnel in key roles like a head coach and quarterback. However, both Rhule and Bridgewater appear to be good hires – and smart ones at that. The Panthers may not win a lot of games this season, but they are in a good spot here to pull off the upset against an overrated road favorite.

Opening Odds: Chargers -3.5 | O/U 45.5 (Line History)
Chargers vs Bengals Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Early betting action on Cincinnati has driven the line down from its opener with Los Angeles going off as a 3.5-point favorite to the Chargers at -3. The total has moved even more significantly, going down from 45.5 points to its current spot at 43 points. The Chargers went 2-7 SU and ATS as a betting favorite in 2019.

Los Angeles News & Notes
For the first time since 2005, Philip Rivers won’t be the starting quarterback for the Chargers. Rivers left as a free agent to join the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles used the sixth overall pick in the draft to take Justin Herbert, who they hope will be their next franchise quarterback. Tyrod Taylor is expected to begin the season as Los Angeles’s quarterback, but Herbert could take over at some point if the Chargers get off to a slow start.

Los Angeles went 12-4 SU in 2018 and entered the 2019 season as a dark horse Super Bowl contender. But nothing clicked for the Chargers as they stumbled to a 5-11 SU and 4-11-1 ATS campaign, ending the year on a 1-6 SU and ATS skid. The Chargers have the talent to bounce back into wild-card contention, but they’ll need Taylor or Herbert to play well under center.

Cincinnati News & Notes
Joe Burrow had one of the greatest collegiate seasons of all time with the LSU Tigers in 2019, racking up 5,671 passing yards and 60 passing touchdowns with only six interceptions en route to a Heisman Trophy and a national championship. Burrow’s incredible season and Tua Tagovailoa’s season-ending injury made Burrow the clear choice with the No. 1 pick.

This isn’t your average two-win team. The Bengals have plenty of talent on offense with Joe Mixon at running back and some talented wideouts including A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and second-round pick Tee Higgins. It’s going to be difficult for Cincinnati to turn things around overnight in the brutal AFC North, but this won’t be a 2-14 team again.

Betting Pick: UNDER 43 points

This line is moving in the correct direction. Joe Burrow has a bright future ahead, but the stout Chargers defense isn’t going to get torched. And it’s hard to have much faith in a Tyrod Taylor-led offense putting up a ton of points. This one should land UNDER the posted total.

Cardinals vs 49ers Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Underdogs are 6-0-1 in the last seven meetings between these rivals, and that’s where the early money’s been on this matchup as well, moving the line down to Arizona +7 at the time of writing. The OVER has also been a popular bet, driving the total up to 47.5 at most online betting sites.

Arizona News & Notes
Key offseason acquisition DeAndre Hopkins has been hampered by a tight hamstring throughout training camp, but the star receiver is expected to suit up against San Francisco. The limited practice time may mean Hopkins, who averaged 1,200 yards per year in his first seven NFL seasons with the Texans, may not quite yet have built chemistry with Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray.

Chemistry could also be an early issue for the Cardinals on the defensive side of the ball, where they’re plugging several new starters and a new defensive co-ordinator into a unit that allowed the most yards in the NFL last year. Arizona has not won a September game in more than two years (0-8-1 SU).

There’s been no better spot recently to back the Cardinals, however, than when they’re visiting NFC West opponents. Arizona is a sizzling 12-3-2 ATS in its last 17 divisional road games, including 3-0-1 in its last four at San Francisco.

San Francisco News & Notes
How will the 49ers respond in their first game since losing the Super Bowl last February? History suggests not very well. Over the past 21 years, teams coming off a Super Bowl loss are just 8-13 SU and 6-15 ATS in their Week 1 contest the following season. However, it’s worth noting that the Rams (last year) and Patriots (2018) both won and covered their season debuts after losing the Super Bowl the previous year.

The Super Bowl hangover theory isn’t the only negative trend that 49ers backers should be wary of. San Francisco has been a bad bet for years as a home favorite, going 6-19-1 ATS as home chalk in its last 26 attempts. The 49ers are also just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight home games vs NFC West opponents.

San Fran may be without key blocker Kyle Juszczyk as the fullback is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. Second-year receiver Deebo Samuel is also questionable after being activated off the non-football injury list last weekend.

Betting Pick: Cardinals +7

I liked this wager a lot more when the line was +7.5, but there’s still enough meat left on the bone to grab Arizona plus a full touchdown. The Cardinals have shown they won’t be intimidated facing the defending NFC champs and their familiarity with the Niners should help make this another close contest.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs New Orleans Saints
Date/Time: September 13, 4:25 p.m. ET
Stadium: Mercedes-Benz Superdome
TV Coverage: Fox
Opening Odds: Saints -4.5 | O/U 49.5 (Line History)
Buccaneers vs Saints Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
Early bettors are buying into the buzz about the Bucs, betting Tampa Bay down to as low as +3 at some shops before the line moved back to +3.5 as of the time of writing. It’s a cheap price for backing the Saints at home, where New Orleans has been favored by 3.5 points or less just three times in its last 15.

Tampa Bay News & Notes
The Bucs might be the NFL’s most hyped team going into the 2020 campaign, and it’s not just because of the off-season signings of Brady, Gronkowski and running back Leonard Fournette. There was already a lot to like about Tampa Bay before those acquisitions, even though the Buccaneers finished last year with six losses in their last seven games and have won just four of their last 23 on the road.

Tampa Bay led the NFL in passing yards in 2019, was third in total yards, fourth in points scored and had the league’s best rush defense. The Bucs just couldn’t overcome 33 turnovers by QB Jameis Winston, as six of their nine losses came by a touchdown or less. To put Winston’s turnover numbers into perspective, Brady has thrown just 29 interceptions in his last four seasons combined.

If you’re looking to play DFS this week, be sure to take a look at receiver Chris Godwin. The 24-year-old caught a pair of 26-yard touchdown passes and finished with 125 receiving yards when Tampa Bay visited New Orleans last year, and he’s scored five majors in eight career games vs the Saints.

New Orleans News & Notes
The Saints have been notoriously slow starters under head coach Sean Payton. Last year, they needed a 58-yard field goal by Wil Lutz at the final gun to edge Houston 30-28 in Week 1 and avoid their sixth straight season-opening loss. New Orleans is also just 1-7 ATS in its last eight home games in September.

Once the Saints do get rolling, however, they’re expected to look a lot like the team that has posted consecutive 13-win seasons. Already with WR Michael Thomas, TE Jared Cook and pass-catching back Alvin Kamara at his disposal, Drew Brees was given yet another weapon with the acquisition of Pro Bowl wideout Emmanuel Sanders.

Defensively, Cameron Jordan is coming off a career-high 15.5 sacks and three-time Pro Bowl strong safety Malcolm Jenkins returns to the Big Easy after six seasons in Philadelphia.

New Orleans is gunning for its fourth straight NFC South title, and success in divisional games has been a big reason why. The Saints have won nine of their last 11 games overall against divisional foes, and nine of their last 12 at home.

Betting Pick: UNDER 49.5

Without any preseason games to prepare, Brady may struggle a bit early this season until he becomes more familiar with the Bucs offense. This contest also features two of the league’s top four run defenses from a year ago.

Opening Odds: Cowboys -2.5 | O/U 50 (Line History)
Cowboys vs Rams Matchup Report

Opening Odds Analysis
There has not been too much line movement in terms of the point spread, but the total has definitely jumped higher. After opening at 50, bettors have taken the OVER up to the current line of 52 at some sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark. Without any preseason games, the defenses may not be as sharp early on, or at least that might be the thinking.

Dallas News & Notes
Mike McCarthy is one of five new head coaches in the NFL, and he has definitely inherited the best team of the bunch. The former head coach of the Green Bay Packers who led them to a victory in Super Bowl 45 will still have his challenges, though, as quarterback Dak Prescott is seeking a long-term contract extension after receiving the franchise tag designation.

Prescott should be extra motivated to earn that big deal, but performing up to those lofty expectations is often easier said than done. McCarthy also has one of the league’s best running backs (Ezekiel Elliott) and a top wide receiver (Amari Cooper) to go along with one of the steals of the NFL draft (CeeDee Lamb). All of these players should have a chip on their shoulders and could be a dangerous group if they perform like it.

Los Angeles News & Notes
A year ago, Los Angeles experienced the typical hangover reserved for the Super Bowl loser on an almost annual basis and was lucky to finish with a winning record in a tough NFC West. But Dallas won one fewer game, prompting the team to move on from former head coach Jason Garrett.

The Rams chose to give quarterback Jared Goff a juicy contract extension before last season, and his numbers were down across the board except for pass attempts and completions. That said, Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay believes in him enough to keep him around over the long term, and the pressure should be off him heading into 2020.

A strong defense led by Aaron Donald also remains, and the unit should be motivated after giving up 44 points in the last meeting.

Betting Pick: UNDER 52

This is a fade-the-public play, with both defenses having the potential to keep this a lower-scoring game. The past four meetings might tell a different story, as all of them went OVER the total. But that is exactly what the public is looking at and why they bet the OVER. This number is quite simply too high, so go the other way and take the UNDER.

Seattle Storm vs Phoenix Mercury 9/13/20 - WNBA

The Seattle Storm meet up with the Phoenix Mercury in what will be the final game of the regular season for the Mercury. The Mercury have squared off with the Connecticut Sun in back to back games, falling in the first but bouncing back with a 100-95 overtime win to improve their record on the season to 13-8. Phoenix has turned it on late in the season and has won seven of their last eight games. Seattle sits atop the WNBA standings with a 17-3 record and has won six straight games, fresh off a 107-95 win over the Dallas Wings.

Seattle is second in the WNBA in scoring offense averaging 88 points per game while shooting an impressive 39.1% from beyond the arc, which is the second-best clip this season. Seattle is led by Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd; Stewart who is arguably the best womens’ college basketball player of all time is averaging 19.7 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game. Stewart is 4th in the WNBA in scoring and ranks in the top 15 in rebounding. Jewell Loyd is averaging 15 points per game and is shooting 40% from beyond the arc on 4.5 threes per game.

The Mercury are averaging 87.4 points per game ranking third in scoring offense and is led by four players averaging double figures this season. Leading the way is Diana Taurasi averaging 19.5 points per game and 4.7 assists per game. Leading rebounder Brittney Griner is averaging 7.5 rebounds per game while adding in 17.7 points per game to rank third on the team.

Seattle is the best scoring defense in the WNBA this season allowing just 76.3 points per game while holding opponents to just 40.6% from the field, by far the best defensive shooting percentage this season. The Mercury come in allowing 84.2 points per game to rank 8th in scoring defense but hold opponents to 42.3% from the field, which is second in the WNBA.

Recent Betting Trends

Seattle is 2-6 ATS in their last eight games.
Seattle totals' have gone OVER in their last three games.
Phoenix is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games.
Phoenix totals are 12-9 (o/u) this season.

Free WNBA Pick: Phoenix Mercury +5

Seattle is, at least statistically, the best team in the WNBA this season ranking second in scoring offense and first in scoring defense. The Mercury are a solid defensive team and have a deep and balanced scoring attack led by center Brittney Griner and guard Diana Taurasi, with four players averaging double figures this season and the Mercury looking to improve their seeding, sitting half a game back of the 4 seed which would earn them a bye. Seattle has officially clinched a bye into the semi-finals already and I think Phoenix comes out hungrier than the Storm and is able to keep this game close enough to cover the spread. Final score prediction, Seattle Storm win but don't cover ATS 87-85.

Hot & Not Report - Week 1
Matt Blunt

Who's Hot

Over the past three years, in Week 1, playoff teams from the previous year are 18-4-1 SU (13-10 ATS) when playing a non-playoff team from the previous year.

Fading the Super Bowl loser thought always gets tossed out a lot this week (myself included), but those teams are still a part of this massive group that you can basically pencil in for outright wins in Week 1.

With five SU wins coming at the expense of a point spread victory, it's clear some of these playoff teams could be slightly overvalued the following year. And with no preseason to base anything off of bettors, opinions based off last year's production have to be formed.

But at least the past three Week 1's have shown that when you put these playoff teams up against non-playoff foes, the outright win seems to always get there.

The 2019 playoff teams in the AFC were:

Baltimore
Kansas City
New England
Houston
Buffalo
Tennessee

The 2019 playoff teams in the NFC:

San Francisco
Green Bay
New Orleans
Philadelphia
Seattle
Minnesota

Going through the Week 1 schedule brings you to eliminating Houston and Kansas City from this equation with them playing one another on TNF, so not applicable there. The same can be said for the Green Bay-Minnesota game as well on Sunday.

Which leaves outright thoughts on Baltimore (-7.5) over Cleveland, New England (-6.5) over Miami, Buffalo (-6.5) over NY Jets, and Tennessee (-1) over Denver on MNF as options from the AFC side of things.

In the NFC, Seattle (-2) over Atlanta, Philadelphia (-6.5) over Washington, San Francisco (-7) over Arizona, and New Orleans (-3.5) over Tampa Bay fit the above trends.

It's interesting to note that five of those eight games all have point spreads within a point of a full TD, meaning the SU win and ATS loss expectation is fairly reasonable. With it happening five times already in just three seasons (1.66 times per year), guessing at least one of those TD favorites will squeak out a nail-biting victory can go along with that.

Which does put that Arizona/San Francisco game in an interesting light for those that definitely want to fade the Super Bowl loser. Would anybody be surprised by a 49ers win by three or four points in that one?

But an 80% outright win rate to start the year for these playoff teams is tough to ignore even in these odd times. Flipping back and forth between some of these options for Survivor pools might have some easy advancements to next week on the horizon, but remember at the same time, 1.33 times per year one of these teams has lost outright as well.

Unless it's Tennessee or Seattle falling as small road chalk, you find that diamond in the rough this week and go ML shopping, it will be a nice start to the year.

Who's Not

AFC playoff teams from the previous season are 8-1 O/U in Week 1 against any opponent the past two seasons

Horrible trend for 'under' bettors, but a swoon one for 'over' players, and it's a shame that it only applies to two of a potential six games this year – they are both prime time though.

They are the TNF game between Houston and Kansas City, and the MNF game between Tennessee and Denver.

Prime time 'overs' always get a lot of love, so expect even more of it to come on these two games before things go the other way around.

A Houston/KC game needs no hard con to convince someone to look 'over' there already, with the 51-31 game they had in the playoffs back in January, and everybody wants points from Mahomes when they sit down to watch him play. That combined with this run of 'overs' for AFC playoff teams added on top of it, may actually make the 'under' a good look on TNF when you consider how high the number might get, and how sloppy the football might look on the field with minimal practices, no games etc.

Waiting on the MNF game is a lot easier, because by then we'll already have a full Sunday slate digested and assessed just for how sloppy or sharp some play looked. The market will react significantly to those results for the Week 2 lines, but the Titans/Broncos total of 40.5 has only dropped from it's opener of 42.

That's hardly a concern for those looking to ride this 'over' run, because you already know that 42 is going to likely be the peak this total sees. If you are comfortable getting that many points from those two teams on MNF, then this O/U run only helps the cause.

NFL Underdog picks and predictions Week 1
Jason Logan

Tom Brady was bending the rules the second he got to Tampa Bay, giving his team a headstart on its prep for the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The Bucs are 3.5-point road underdogs in the season opener.

Welcome to NFL Underdogs.

For those who ingest my NFL betting picks each week, you may be wondering, “what’s with the cookie-cutter headline?”

Well, it turns out the old one wasn’t SEO friendly. And while you all were kind enough to come back to the column over the course of the season, there’s a whole world of football bettors who don’t know it exists. But rest assured: this is NFL Underdogs.

Different look. Same great taste.

Now, for those stumbling across our “NFL picks and predictions for Week 1” for the first time (and hopefully that’s a lot of you, if the SEO guys are right), let’s review the rules for the column:

Rule No. 1: I can only pick NFL point spread underdogs.

That is all.

It’s a much simpler rule to follow than the laundry list facing NFL teams and their dos and don’ts for the 2020 season. And if anyone knows about the rules, it’s Tom Brady.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints pick

The ink was barely dry on Brady’s new contract before he started testing the rules.

Brady was allegedly jumping the fences at local parks to work out during the COVID-19 quarantine in April and got his guys on the field as early as May, which drew some sideways glances (but was ultimately cleared by the NFL).

You can take Tom out of New England, but you can’t take New England out of Tom. Could that rule-bending be the edge Tampa Bay needs against the Saints in Week 1?

This offense is so much better than Brady’s depth chart in New England last season and far more stable without Jameis Winston effectively “punting” the ball on almost 5 percent of his pass attempts. It’s a trickle-down effect that will ultimately help the defense, which ranked among the top stop units in 2019 according to the advanced metrics and enters Year 2 under Todd Bowles.

This is one of maybe two times we’ll get Brady and the Bucs as underdogs this season (according to lookahead lines) and that half-point hook is worth it, for what should be an awesome opener.

PREDICTION: Tampa Bay +3.5 (-110)

Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions pick

What’s the difference between Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky?

While football is considered a game of inches (hiyo!), paychecks may be the only gap between the Bears’ quarterback options, as far as oddsmakers are concerned.

Foles may be a Super Bowl folk hero but he threw just 117 passes in limited action for Jacksonville in 2019 and those fairy-tale playoff performances happened once upon a time.

When it comes to impact on the spread, the Bears’ QBs are interchangeable at this point. But, for what it’s worth, Trubisky owns a passer rating of 132.56 in three career meetings with Matt Patricia’s Lions, totaling 866 yards (on 68-for-91 passing) with nine touchdowns and just one INT.

Trubisky won’t need to match that output at Detroit in Week 1 — not with the way this Bears defense is shaping up.

In 2019, Chicago overcame injuries to key members of the stop unit and a transition to a new coordinator to rank No. 1 in defensive DVOA at Football Outsiders but lacked a potent pass rush. This season, the Bears get those guys back – and then some – and should flirt with their sack totals from 2018. That’s bad news for Detroit QB Matt Stafford.

PREDICTION: Chicago +3 (-113)

Las Vegas Raiders vs Carolina Panthers pick

“Into the Unknown” is not only the theme song from my time in COVID quarantine (my kids went HAM on Frozen 2), but it could be the slogan for NFL Week 1 betting. Honestly, no one knows what the hell is going to happen.

With shortened camps, limited practices, and no preseason, familiarity is worth its weight in gold in the opening games of the NFL schedule. And while the Panthers have plenty of new faces in 2020, there’s something very familiar with this offense.

Carolina’s combo of QB Teddy Bridgewater and new offensive coordinator Joe Brady won’t take long to gain traction. Brady helped guide the LSU Tigers to the national title with an offensive scheme nipped from the Saints (his former employers), and Bridgewater just so happens to be a former New Orleans quarterback with the two paired up in 2018.

The Panthers have plenty of options on offense with a trio of talented receivers and, of course, Christian McCaffrey. Expect a slow-and-steady approach from Carolina in Week 1, maintaining possession and controlling the tempo, as to not expose a soft defensive unit more than it has to.

The Raiders defense was bad last year and doesn’t look any better, leaning on a lot of young players to grow up quick. This line actually opened pick’em back in the spring, but I’ll gladly take the field goal with the home team.

PREDICTION: Carolina +3 (-110)

Last season: 30-28 ATS
Last two seasons: 65-49-1 ATS

NFL Week 1 Injuries, Weather
Patrick Everson

Von Miller suffered an ankle tendon injury in practice Tuesday, and he could require season-ending surgery. The SuperBook moved Titans-Broncos from pick 'em to Tennessee -2.5.

NFL Week 1 odds are often tricky under normal circumstances, never mind those under which we now find ourselves, coming back from a pandemic. Several factors contribute to how and why games are being bet, some of which tend to get overlooked.

Week 1 Injuries

Denver Broncos: Normally, it takes an injury to a starting quarterback, or at least a superstar running back or wide receiver, to move a line 2.5 points. Bettors found out Tuesday night that Broncos stud linebacker Von Miller is worth that much, too. Miller suffered an apparent freak injury to an ankle tendon at the end of Tuesday's practice, and it's possible he's out for the season. Said Eric Osterman, oddsmaker and manager at The SuperBook at Westgate: "We moved the Week 1 line from pick to Titans -2.5." And that's after the line had already moved from Broncos -3 to pick, with much of that shift occuring in the past week, for the second game in a Monday night doubleheader.

Philadelphia Eagles: Oddsmakers are closely watching running back Miles Sanders ( hamstring) and right tackle Lane Johnson (lower-body injury), among others. Sanders is now probable to play, but Johnson remains questionable as of Wednesday afternoon. "The Eagles seem to be a little banged up, which has moved the line a little bit in that game. We are at Eagles -5.5 right now, down from the opening number of -6," said Eric Osterman, manager and oddsmaker at The SuperBook at Westgate. "Those are really the only injury concerns we have right now, besides Von Miller."

Dallas Cowboys: Dallas on Monday put right tackle La’el Collins (hip) and linebacker Sean Lee (sports hernia) on injured reserve, meaning those two are out the next three weeks minimum. However, there was no impact on the line at The SuperBook, with the Cowboys still 3-point road favorites against the Rams.

Cleveland Browns: Center JC Tretter, who had minor surgery for a knee issue in mid-August, returned to practice Monday. The Browns actually closed in a bit Monday, from +8 to +7.5 at The SuperBook for Sunday’s road game against the Ravens.

Philadelphia Eagles: Quarterback Carson Wentz (groin) is apparently now good to go for the season opener at Washington. But oddsmakers never thought otherwise, as the line remained Philadelphia -6 at The SuperBook.

Cincinnati Bengals: Wideout AJ Green (hamstring) is expected to be fully cleared to play Sunday at Cleveland. There was no impact on the line, which remained Bengals +7.5 at The SuperBook.

Week 1 Weather

Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs: Rain is expected throughout the day Thursday in Kansas City, including a 90 percent chance of evening showers, accompanied by light wind. Over the past few days, the total dropped from 55 to 54, and on Monday, it was at 54.5. The total opened at 56.5 in May.

New York Jets at Buffalo Bills: Rain is expected throughout Sunday morning in Buffalo, with a chance of showers in the afternoon, which could play a role in this 1 p.m. ET start. However, oddsmakers already projected this game to be a less-than-exhilarating offensive display, and the total remained at 39 Monday at The SuperBook, the lowest of all Week 1 games.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Football Team: There’s a 50 percent chance of rain in D.C., with possible thunderstorms later in the afternoon Sunday, which could impact this 1 p.m. ET kickoff. But the total remained 43 Monday at The SuperBook.

Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are predicted, with a 50 percent chance of rain during the day. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET. But there’s been no impact on the total, stuck at 45 at The SuperBook.

Las Vegas Raiders at Carolina Panthers: A 50 percent chance of rain/scattered thunderstorms exists in Charlotte for Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET meeting. The total dipped from 47.5 to 46.5 on Monday at The SuperBook.

Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals: The forecast in Cincy calls for mostly cloudy conditions and scattered thunderstorms in the morning, but this matchup doesn’t kick off until 4:05 p.m. ET. Still, the total dropped a point Monday, from 44 to 43.

The Washington Mystics complete a back-to-back on Sunday when playing the Atlanta Dream after playing the New York Liberty on Saturday. Washington is currently in eighth place in the WNBA standings and needs a victory on Saturday before facing Atlanta in order to maintain its position in the final playoff spot. Washington has won two straight following its 80-72 victory on Thursday over the Los Angeles Sparks and is doing this without three of its top players Elena Delle Donne, Tina Charles and Aerial Powers.

Misha Hines-Allen is leading Washington in scoring and rebounding with averages of 16.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Hines-Allen is shooting 50.9% from the floor and 78.3% from the free throw line. Leilani Mitchell is the leader in assists for Washington with an average of 5.5 per game. The Mystics have four players, of which three are active, averaging double figures in scoring.

Atlanta looks for its third consecutive victory and a possible trip to the postseason with a win on Sunday over Washington. Atlanta improved to 7-14 following its 82-75 victory on Friday over the Connecticut Sun. Chennedy Carter was the leading scorer for Atlanta with 22 points while Courtney Williams scored 20 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Three teams - Washington, Atlanta and Dallas are without a ½ game of one another and Washington has two games to play while the others have just one.

Chennedy Carter is leading Atlanta in scoring with an average of 16.9 points per game hitting 46.5% of her field goals and 81.5% of her free throws. Betnijah Laney is the second leading scorer and leader in assists with averages of 16.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. Monique Billings is the leading rebounder for Atlanta with an average of 8.5 per game.

Recent Betting Trends

Washington is 4-1 ATS in its last 5
The UNDER has cashed in 5 of the Mystics last 7
Atlanta is 5-1 ATS in its last 6
The UNDER has cashed in 4 of the Dream’s last 6

Free WNBA Pick: Atlanta Dream -3

Both Washington and Atlanta are in a battle with Dallas for the eighth and final playoff spot in the WNBA. The Mystics have the advantage with two games remaining - one on Saturday and the final on Sunday - and with two victories Washington would clinch the final spot. However the Mystics are shorthanded without three of their top players and playing back-to-back will come up short both straight up and against the spread versus Atlanta. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Dream wins and covers ATS 88-81

NY Liberty vs Dallas Wings 9/13/20 - WNBA

The Dallas Wings are coming into the game here after getting beaten by the Chicago Sky. The loss was by a 95-88 score. In the loss it dropped the Dallas record to a 7-14 mark on the year and now it is one record that the Wings are going to have to consider and build on for next season.

On the year the Dallas offense has done good with a total of 82.6 points per game. The rebounding for Dallas has been done at a clip of 32.8 boards per game. The assist department for the Wings has been done to the tune of 15.3 assist per game.

The Liberty have to play in back to back days and it is one of the first times on the season. The Saturday game, though, is an early afternoon start and that will definitely help the Liberty team get a little bit of rest. The last game on the court for New York was an 85-75 loss to Indiana. The loss dropped New York to a 2-18 record.

With the Liberty their offense has been very weak on the year with only 72.1 points per game. The Liberty have ended up getting only 36 boards per game so far. The Liberty have ended up with a total of only 14.7 assist per game.

Free WNBA Pick: Dallas Wings -3

The struggles the Liberty have on the year are going to continue into the off season. The Liberty will not be able to do much offensively on the season and with this being the final game of the year New York will not get any breaks and may even start to see how their younger talent plays on the day. Look for the Wings to play good on the year, but it will be enough to keep the Wings moving upward and give them some momentum for the year next year. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Wings win 86-72.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs NY Islanders 9/13/20 - NHL

The Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders are set to meet in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals as they will faceoff at Rogers Place in the Edmonton, Canada bubble. The Tampa Bay Lightning dropped their 1st game of the series on Friday as the Islanders got the best of them with a 5-3 victory. The Tampa Bay Lightning received a solid game out of defensemen Mikhail Sergachev as he recorded 1 goal and 1 assist while Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat scored the other 2 goals for the Lightning. The Tampa Bay Lightning edged out the New York Islanders in the shot department (37-35), but they dominated the Islanders in the faceoff circle (37-27).

The Tampa Bay Lightning struggled at keeping the New York Islanders off the scoreboard as they allowed 5 goals on 35 shots. The Lightning starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy struggled in the crease as he recorded 31 saves which pushed his postseason save percentage to .929 and GAA to 1.98.

The New York Islanders were able to get in the win column in the Eastern Conference Finals with a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, and they did it with a scoring explosion. The Islanders received a big game out of Anthony Beauvillier, Brock Nelson, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau as they pitched in 1 goal and 1 assist each while Josh Bailey pitched in 2 assists. The New York Islanders weren’t as physical as the Lightning in this game as Tampa Bay dominated them in the hit department (62-44).

The New York Islanders struggled at keeping the Tampa Bay Lightning off the scoreboard as they allowed them to score 3 goals on 37 shots. The Islanders starting goaltender Semyon Varlamov struggled in the crease as he recorded 34 saves which pushed his postseason save percentage to .913 and GAA to 2.26.

Recent Betting Trends

Lightning are 4-1 in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite.
Under is 12-4-3 in Lightning last 19 vs. Metropolitan.
Islanders are 2-5 in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.
Over is 3-0-1 in Islanders last 4 games following a win.

Free NHL Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning -145

The Tampa Bay Lightning were unable to continue their hot streak and essentially go undefeated in the Eastern Conference Finals, but they are still the clear-cut favorite to win this series. The Lightning have one of the better goaltenders still remaining in the postseason as Vasilevskiy is allowing just shy of 2 goals per game, and I expect him to get back on track here with a much better game. The Lightning have a very dangerous lineup as every line has produced points this season, but I think the biggest difference here will be their attention to detail on the defensive side of the ice. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Lightning win 3-1.

LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets 9/13/20 - NBA

In Sunday afternoon NBA Playoff action, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets will play Game Six of the Western Conference Semifinals. The second-seeded Clippers are widely regarded as the best team in the league and are looking to make their first trip to the Western Conference Finals. On Friday, Los Angeles was unable to protect a 16-point lead during a disappointing 111-105 defeat.

Los Angeles F Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 36 points on 12-for-24 from the field and grabbed nine rebounds. Paul George added 26 points, six rebounds, and six assists for the Clippers.

The Denver Nuggets rallied from a 3-1 deficit to eliminate Utah in the first round and are trying to become the first team in NBA history to advance when facing two 3-1 deficits. In Game Five, Denver outscored Los Angeles 38-25 over the final 12 minutes. The Nuggets connected on 12-for-27 from the three-point line and outrebounded the Clippers by five.

Denver G Jamal Murray tallied a team-high 26 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists. Nikola Jokic contributed 22 points and 14 rebounds for the Nuggets.

Recent Betting Trends

Clippers are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games following a straight up loss.
Nuggets are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
Under is 8-1-2 in Clippers last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Under is 4-0-2 in Clippers last 6 overall.
Under is 3-0-2 in Nuggets last 5 playoff games as an underdog.

Free NBA Pick: UNDER 213.5

Denver G Will Barton (knee) has not appeared this postseason and could play if the Nuggets were to advance past this round. The Clippers missed a big opportunity by not closing the Nuggets out on Friday. Look for Los Angeles to turn up the defense and this game will stay under the total. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Clippers win in under game 107-99.

MLB public betting, line movement September 13
Patrick Everson

Corey Seager and the Los Angeles Dodgers look to earn a split of their two-game series with the Houston Astros when the two teams meet in prime time on Sunday night.

MLB betting odds are on the board for a full slate and then some, with a 16-game Sunday schedule. Among the more noteworthy games is the wrap-up of a quick two-game weekend set between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s games.

MLB line movement

Houston is having a dreadful West Coast swing, but finally broke through with a five-run ninth inning to beat Los Angeles 7-5 Saturday and halt a 1-8 nosedive on the trip. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have been human lately, losing two of their last four, but still lead the majors with a 32-14 record.

With the Dodgers’ starter not yet set for an 8:08 p.m. ET Sunday contest, most sportsbooks held off posting the line until Sunday morning. Check back for details.

The Minnesota Twins aim to finish off a three-game sweep of the visiting Cleveland Indians. Caesars books opened at Twins -133/Indians +123, and there was no movement through Saturday night.

And it appears the New York Yankees are on the rebound. The Pinstripes followed a 5-15 nosedive with four consecutive wins, heading into the finale of a four-game home weekend set with the Baltimore Orioles. Caesars opened at Yankees -198/Orioles +179 and moved to -202/+182.

MLB public betting

The Consensus had the Twins drawing 56 percent of early picks against the Indians, through Saturday night. The Yankees were slightly more popular, at 63 percent of early Consensus picks.

NBA public betting, line movement September 13
Patrick Everson

Jamal Murray and the Nuggets meet Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals Sunday. The SuperBook has Los Angeles an 8.5-point favorite.

NBA betting odds are up for the lone playoff game on the Sunday schedule, Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Denver Nuggets look to once again extend this series against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The SuperBook provided insights on NBA opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s matchup.

NBA line movement

Denver trailed Los Angeles 3-1 in this best-of-7 series and was down a dozen at halftime of Game 5 on Friday. But the Nuggets rallied to grab a 111-105 victory and push the Clippers to Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET Game 6. The Clippers opened -8 at The SuperBook and reached -9 Saturday night, but quickly ticked back to -8.5.

The total opened at 213.5 and moved to 214 late Saturday night.

NBA public betting

Perhaps surprisingly, the Consensus is showing strong support for Denver to cover the number in Game 7. Through Saturday night, the Nuggets were landing 69 percent of picks, and on the total, 67 percent of picks were on the Over.

On the total, 71 percent of early Consensus picks were on the Over.

NHL public betting, odds movement September 13
Patrick Everson

Nikita Kucherov and the Lightning tangle with Jean-Gabriel Pageau and the Islanders on Sunday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. The SuperBook has Tampa Bay a -140 favorite.

NHL betting odds are on the board as the Stanley Cup chase resumes with Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday. The New York Islanders look to build on their much-needed Game 3 win when they meet the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The SuperBook at Westgate provided insights on NHL opening odds and early odds movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s contest.

NHL odds movement

After dropping Games 1 and 2, the Islanders checked into this best-of-7 series with a 5-3 victory Friday, scoring the game winner with under four minutes left and adding a last-minute empty-netter. The SuperBook opened Sunday’s 3 p.m. ET faceoff at Lightning -145/Islanders +132 and moved to -140/+130 early Saturday, and there was no further movement through Saturday night.

The SuperBook opened the total at 5, with Over -140 and Under +120, and there was no movement throughout Saturday.

NHL public betting

The Consensus shows the public – or a modest majority, anyway – is on board with the Islanders for Game 4. Through Saturday night, New York was landing 55 percent of picks, and the Over was garnering 58 percent of picks.

# 5 SWEET REGARDS 1/1

# 3 WEST CORK LASS 5/1

# 2 I'M SO ADORABLE 7/2

SWEET REGARDS is the best bet in this race. Tough to pass on this filly with Roman in the irons. With Roman aboard her, this filly should be able to break out sharply in this race. Has a strong shot in this contest if you like back class. WEST CORK LASS - This pick will feel the med change - with second time Lasix today. I'M SO ADORABLE - Facing a much softer bunch than last time out. This pony has to be in sound condition coming back to race so quickly.

#4 BAKERS BAY (ML=9/2)
#5 JOYFUL SURPRISE (ML=4/1)

BAKERS BAY - Great average class rating on this horse. Should have the power to run well on the turf. JOYFUL SURPRISE - If this gelding gets out of the gate cleanly, he'll be tough to catch. This jockey and trainer's animals have been generating a lucrative return on investment. Saez rode this horse for the initial time last time around the track and comes right back in today's contest. Horse got beaten up in his maiden outing. With a clean race, I look for this one to hit the wire first. This horse could be a possible overlay in this event at morning odds of 4/1. Finished fourth in last race at Ellis Park but was close at the wire.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 TELEPHONE TALKER (ML=8/5), #2 TREASURY (ML=5/1), #6 JEALOUS EYES (ML=8/1),

TELEPHONE TALKER - Can't wager on this questionable contender in today's sprint of 6 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a sprint race lately. Hasn't been winning these days when made the probable favorite. Take a look at his record. TREASURY - Substandard speed rating last out at Ellis Park at 5 1/2 furlongs. Don't feel this horse will improve too much in today's race. JEALOUS EYES - Didn't end up on the board on August 29th after the long breather. Be doubtful of this one this time.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Put your money on #4 BAKERS BAY on the nose if you can get odds of 6/5 or more

# 3 FANTASTICO DRAGON 6/1

# 7 ONE SEXY HERO V 3/1

# 6 SUMMERTIME VENTURE 8/1

My pick here is FANTASTICO DRAGON. The drastic drop in class can only help out this entrant today. The average class rating of 82 makes this horse difficult to beat. Is a strong contender based on figs earned lately under today's conditions. ONE SEXY HERO V - Has performed very well as of late in short races, posting a nifty 74 avg speed figure. Carrete has shown excellent profits (+40 ROI ) at this distance/surface. SUMMERTIME VENTURE - The Lasix change (with second time Lasix) may spark a major improvement for this gelding. Must be given a chance given the class of races run lately.
