GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. MINNESOTA VIKINGS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

GB Packers Win +2.5 Point Spread
+100

Under 45.5 Game Totals
-110

Point Spread Pick
Those of you who have read our NFL season preview know that the Minnesota Vikings lost many pieces this offseason, especially on defense. They will be without defensive linemen Linval Joseph, Everson Griffen, and Stephen Weatherly. 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.

CHICAGO BEARS VS. DETROIT LIONS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

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.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS VS. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS PREDICTIONS

PICKS

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.

DALLAS COWBOYS VS LOS ANGELES RAMS PREDICTIONS

LA Rams Win +3.0 Point Spread
-110

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.
