NFL Expert Picks Week 1 Unlike any Other Season

posted on: Sep 20, 2020

The time has finally come to kick off the NFL season and it will be a season unlike any other season we’ve ever experienced considering the last time we had a pandemic of this sort it was the 1918 Spanish Flu and the National Football League wasn’t even a thing back then.

So this will be a tiring year and a lot of star handicappers and prognosticators have yet to give out their week 1 NFL predictions while others as you will see below are giving out their plays for the public to bet on now that there are now 18 states with legalized sports betting and we’re expecting the biggest season for fantasy sports and betting thanks to everyone being at home and ready to watch football.

Some of the biggest known names haven’t released their picks publicly such as Christian d’Andrea, Nathan Jahnke, Trey Wingo, Kevin Seifert, and Mike Jones. Others such as the most famous sports bettor Jon Price of Sports Information Traders told us that he releases his picks to his clients when the line matches up and also provides lower value betting picks for free across national radio in over 145 markets throughout the country.

Others who have given out their expert picks for week 1 are listed below with their predictions:

Accurscore an algorithm for picks thinks that the following teams will win in week 1:

Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Tennessee Titans. Other experts who believe the Chiefs & Seahawks will win are: Patrick Schmidt, TeamRankings.com, PFF Analytics and John Breech of CBS Sports thinks that the Falcons will beat the Seahawks this week. Jared Dubin of CBS Sports disagrees with Breech’s pick of the Falcons and is with the consensus picking the Seahawks to win both against the spread and outright. Dubin is also picking the Bills, Lions, Vikings, Patriots, Eagles, Panthers, Colts, Ravens, Bengals, Saints, 49ers, Cowboys, Steelers, and the Denver Broncos to round out his week 1 prediction.

Jason La Canfora agrees with Breech almost entirely across the board but he’s picking the Charges, and the L.A. Rams to win in week 1 whereas Mike Clay of ESPN and Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports believe that the Dallas Cowboys will win and still believing that the Chargers will also win. Nobody believes that the Cleveland Browns will win in week 1 and almost nobody believes the New York Jets have a chance to win with only a 4% consensus on them winning or covering.

Other interesting stats for week 1 are that the Houston Texans are running at 0% to beat the Cheifs according to experts and the Browns & Cardinals is the only other team in this category. The only other single-digit teams for week 1 are the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Washington Redskins or Football team however you want to classify W they are bound to get an L in week 1.
