NFL 2025 Week 1 Picks
My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.
Thursday Night:
Cowboys +8.5 vs. EAGLES ✅ – Not a bad start to the Schottenheimer era!
Friday Night Brazilian Special:
CHARGERS +3 vs. Chiefs ✅
Sunday 1pm:
Bengals -4.5 vs. BROWNS – I feel like the Bengals really let the early season get away from them last year. They still feel close to an elite team.
Steelers -3 vs. JETS – You really got to give it to the NFL for scheduling this one in week 1.
Sunday 4pm:
Lions +1.5 vs PACKERS – Good scheduling for Detroit to get their annual trip to Lambeau out of the way so early.
RAMS -3 vs. Texans
SNF:
BILLS over Ravens +105 moneyline – With the point spread it was Bills +1 (-105) so it seems dumb not to bet the moneyline here. I’d feel the same if I were betting the Ravens.
