NFL Picks for week 1

As we mentioned in our first pick of the season with the New York Giants…we are going to give you two to four picks a week. You can do what you want with them.

We will not give you write ups for these games because write ups don’t make you any money. So let’s get started.

We won with the Giants -4.5 so we are 1-0 for the season. Just a reminder, making money betting on any sport is a long term deal. Slow and steady wins the race. Be patient, bet the same amount of money on each game, and shop the lines. Get the best lines you can get.

New Orlean Saints -3 over Tampa Bay

We said we weren’t going to give write ups and what we meant is that we are not going to give detailed write ups. Why do we like the Saints in this game? Because they are the better team, they are at home, they have revenge on their side, and they have an offense led by Drew Brees that is going to be very difficult to stop. Enough said. Take the Saints and give the three.

Philadelphia  Eagles -7.5 over St. Louis

Let’s get real here, the Rams were awful last year and will probably be awful this year. They have talent on offense but are led by a wimpy gun shy QB and their offensive line sucks. The Eagles are a legitimate playoff team on offense and defense. The Eagles by 10 or more.

Buffalo Bills -1 over Seattle

Seattle travels bad to the east coast. Buffalo is tough at home. Buffalo to win a close game, all we need is the Bills to win by two or more. We think they get it done.

The New York Giants begin the defense of their Super Bowl title tonight against the Washington Redskins with a bit of a chip on their shoulder.

It is hard to remember a Super Bowl winner getting as little respect as the Giants are getting. Many handicappers and so called experts around the country are predicting the Giants won’t even make the playoffs. They might be right but, still, the Giants are a good football team that will be tough to beat week in and week out if they stay healthy. 

Each week we are going to give our picks, two to four of them, for the weekend. We will be giving these picks against the spread. Do what you want with them.

Our first pick of the year is the New York Giants -4.5 over the Washington Redskins. No need for writeups, they don’t make you any money. The Giants appear to be at least a touchdown better right now, so we are going with them.
