Wk 1: BUF @ HOU

We think this game will look similar to the Week 12 game from last season, with the biggest variable being CJ Stroud's performance. If he plays well, HOU will score and the total could easily go over, but if he struggles again, expect a close game.

NFL Kickoff: NE @ SEA

Given that it’s week 1, a grudge rematch for NE, and there are questions on both offenses, we think the defenses will dominate and decide the game. We’re predicting a total score in the high 30s, so there’s margin for error here. PICK: Under 44.5 — Bet size: 5 units
