ALL GAMES HAVE A BEST BET LET'S HAVE A WEEKEND
Starting this season, there'll be a best bet on each game. Could be a player prop, could be a spread, who knows where the wind will take us.
Tennessee Titans @ Chicago Bears(-3.5)
DK -112
FD -118
The Titans have a bunch of salty vets on defense, and offense for that matter, but with the new coaching staff and new offense, it might take some time to coalesce. the Bears have the advantage of coaching continuity and plugging in a QB worth tanking for to what was a not bad roster. The Bears are favorites, and should get a fast start to the game.
Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts OVER 48.5
DK -105
FD -120
Indy and Houston matchup well against each other offensively. The last time we saw Anthony Richardson and CJ Stroud dueling we saw the Colts win a 31-20 game. With Richardson returning to the lineup and Stroud evolving into a stud from September to the end of the year we should see a ton of points in the dome.
Arizona Cardinals @ Buffalo Bills(-6.5)
DK -115
DK -110
West coast team traveling east playing in the 1PM slot is typically a mark of disaster. The Cardinals lack of defensive depth will end up hurting them against teams that also have high powered offenses. The Bills are going to unleash a balanced attack where they can just game-plan the way they want to beat you instead of forcing balls to their outside receivers who aren't particularly good. The Cardinals will score, maybe, but I'm more confident in the Bills mauling a defense that's a draft away from having true impact guys.
New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals UNDER 41.0
DK -110
FD -115
The Bengals are likely without Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Patriots are a draft away from being good on offense. This game is going to be ugly. These defenses both have high level, high impact players that will make it hard for both offenses a to score. This game will likely be a grind and I don't see a world where both teams score in the 20's, and don't really see a blowout being more than like, 27-10.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Atlanta Falcons(-3.5)
DK -110
FD -110
The Steelers are such a mess at QB that picking them is going to be a tough task. While the Steelers' defense is solid, we have strength on strength. the Falcons have an awesome O-Line that will take away the Steelers' biggest strength, which is their pass rush. The Falcons should dominate this game with ball possession and dinking and dunking down the field. The Steelers just don't have the firepower on offense to do anything to what should be a much improved Falcons defense.
Carolina Panthers(ML) @ New Orleans Saints
DK +160
FD +176
One of my hotter takes for the 2024 season is that the Saints are going to bottom out. Their pass rush has been less effective in recent years. The key players are very old for their positions. I also think Dave Canales is a very good, even great offensive coach. He saved Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield so I think Bryce Young will be saved as well. The offensive line is improved, the receivers are improved, and the backs were already pretty good.
The biggest reason why I'm picking the Panthers is that the Saints O-Line is bad and the Panthers have Derrick Brown and Jadaveon Clowney on the DLine. I think that it's going to be long day for the Saints.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Miami Dolphins(-3.5)
DK -108
FD -104
I love the Dolphins here. They're demons early in the year with how they unleash their offense. It's also going to be 90 and sunny, which means the Jaguars sideline is going to get pounded by the sun, and Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Minnesota Vikings(-1.5) @ New York Giants
DK -110
FD -115
The Vikings defense is much improved. They are better everywhere, especially on the defensive line. It's honestly the best defense Brian Flores had to play with since the 2019 Patriots. Daniel Dimes is not the QB Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, or even Ryan Fitzpatrick were that beat that defense. In fact, he's pretty bad. I see the Vikings winning soundly
Denver Broncos @ Seattle Seahawks(-6.0)
DK -112
FD -120
A rookie QB who can't throw downfield is facing a Mike MacDonald defense. A rookie QB with exactly one weapon to throw to is facing a Mike MacDonald defense that has playmakers all over the field. It's going to be ugly.
Las Vegas Raiders(ML) @ Los Angeles Chargers
DK +130
FD +134
I think the Raiders are primed too win against a team figuring it out. Their defense is awesome. The Chargers defense is a draft away and so is the offense frankly. The Raiders are a team that is being significantly undervalued and I think that is coming in handy early this season.
Dallas Cowboys(ML) @ Cleveland Browns
DK +110
FD +118
I know the public is fed up with the Cowboys but are we forgetting that Deshaun Watson hasn't played good football in 4 years now? Dak Prescott is still good. CeeDee Lamb is till amazing. Most importantly, Micah Parsons is going to create all sorts of problems for any offense he's facing. Give me the Cowboys all day.
Washington Commanders @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers(-3.5)
DK -112
FD -105
I'm going to need to see Jayden Daniels play well before I bet on him. Especially against a good team, which Tampa is.
Los Angels Rams @ Detroit Lions OVER 52.0
DK -112
FD -112
This game's going to be sweet. Just a rocking Sunday Night game in a dome with points galore. Football rocks
