Week 1 Picks
Home team in caps. Comparisons are team unit vs. opponent’s opposite. ie Team pass O vs. Opponent pass D. Leans so far.
CHI –3
Edge everywhere. Big edge in DL vs OL so look for some sacks here from Khalil Mack, Roquan Smith and Co. gb w new HC and a puzzling choice. CHI won by 7 last year in this spot and teams have moved in opposite directions even more. CHI class of division now.
NYJ -3
Edge everywhere here too. buf has many new faces on the OL (and injuries) and at WR and hasn’t gelled yet. One of lower rung teams talent wise. Look for a heavy dose of Leveon Bell. NYJ won in BUF last year by 4.
sf +1
Better team and should be a pick em. TB one of worst pass Ds in league last year and too soon for all the rookies to help so really a toss up.
