Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots (+3.5) Total: 45
The Eagles begin their NFC title defense as a road favorite vs. the Patriots. Being a home Underdog is something the Pats have become familiar with post Tom Brady. Unfortunately for Patriots backers, they have not been good as home dogs, going 3-5 ATS since 2020. The Eagles will be ready and should roll.
Executive Pick: Eagles -3.5
The Eagles are -3.5 point road favorites in New England to open the season.
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Denver Broncos (-4) Total: 44
The Denver Broncos were flat-out horrible last season. Vegas wasn’t much better. Quarterback play will be critical for both teams this season. In the offseason, the Broncos hired former Saints Super Bowl winning head coach Sean Payton. Will it be enough to “fix” Russell Wilson, I doubt it. This game will come down to a Field Goal. Take the points with the Underdog.
Executive Pick: Raiders +4
San Francisco 49ers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (+2.5) Total: 40.5
This one is pretty simple back the Pittsburgh Steelers as home Underdogs in Week 1. Pittsburgh has won four straight week one games. Since 2017 the Steelers are 7-2 ATS when they are home Underdogs. Not only will Pittsburgh cover the spread I like them to win the game. Look for public and sharp money to hit this point spread Sunday Morning.
Executive Pick: Steelers +2.5
