Bet on It

By Dalton Del Don

Last week I went 9-6-1, winning my best bet by a mere half point. Others seem to disagree, but I always feel Week 1 is easily the best time to bet all season. Put differently, I’m less confident this week. Onto my picks:

Ravens -1.5 at BENGALS

Dolphins +5.5 at VIKINGS

Bears +7.5 at COWBOYS

EAGLES -4.5 at Lions

Cardinals +6.5 at FALCONS

Chiefs +1.5 at BROWNS

Bills +13 at PACKERS

STEELERS +5 at Titans

Buccaneers +3 at PANTHERS (Best Bet)

Rams +3.5 at RAIDERS

Seahawks +3.5 at BRONCOS

Texans -3 at REDSKINS

Jaguars +7.5 at CHARGERS

PATRIOTS -2.5 at Jets

GIANTS +5.5 at Colts

Saints -5.5 at 49ers

Comments: I had a harder time this week compared to last, with the Vikings, Eagles and Packers essentially coin flips. I’m not happy backing so many favorites (11). I liked Carolina more when the line opened at -2, but they’re still my best bet. I also strongly considered the 49ers.
