It’s week 1 NFL betting picks time and the top sports handicappers are locked and loaded. Here are some picks from ScoresOddsPicks, but the biggest of them all is the Falcons vs. Steelers another named play winner.
Sunday marks the true return of the NFL, and sports betting fans find themselves with a tough slate of games to choose from. The schedule makers (and odds makers) did a nice job with these match ups, making for an exciting opening week. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most interesting games on Sunday—including the games you should be picking. Yes, ScoresOddsPicks are also fantasy football experts and they’ve shown how that knowledge applies to beating the odds.
Panthers at Giants (-7) – 1:00 p.m. ET
The Panthers should be much improved this year simply by starting Matt Moore over Jake Delhomme, but New York won’t blow the opportunity to officially christen the new Meadowland Stadium with a big win. Take the Giants to cover.
Dolphins (-3) at Bills – 1:00 p.m. ET
The Bills might be the worst team in the NFL this season; it’s practically criminal Miami is just a three-point underdog, even on the road. Your best bet of the week is the fish starting 2010 1-0 against the spread.
Lions at Bears (-6.5) – 1:00 p.m. ET
Sure, Mike Martz is going to improve Chicago’s offense—but what about the “D?” Detroit should have a pretty impressive offense of its own. Go with the underdog Lions, who should surprise some people in 2010.
Bengals at Patriots (-4.5) – 1:00 p.m. ET
The Bengals defense isn’t up to speed yet, as its cornerback duo of Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph struggled in the preseason. That’s great news for Tom Brady, who faced the NFL’s toughest passing schedule last year. After surviving a car wreck unscathed this week, he’ll carve up the Bengals secondary. Bet the Pats.
49ers (-3) at Seahawks – 4:15 p.m. ET
The Niners are a strong pick to win the NFC West; the Seahawks could potentially be one of the league’s five worst teams. New coach Pete Carroll has failed in NFL stints before, and the Seattle roster endured a heap of turnover in the offseason. San Francisco will lock this one up on the road.
