Just straight up, or ATS? If straight, I’ll copy all your picks except last 2. I think Boys and Jets win theirs

Straight up for this thread.

Lets see if one of us can rip off 80% +

The problem with ATS is that spreads change throughout the week, and different sites often have different spreads, and, ya know, the whole garbage time thingy. That's why I typically stick to straight-up. Don't like my heart getting broken over a prevent defense touchdown allowed with like a few seconds left only enough time for an onside kick.

DET @ KC - I like Detroit to win their division this year, but the Chiefs have the deus ex machina at quarterback


CAR @ ATL - I'm not a huge Bryce Young fan but I like him here and the Panthers team as a whole over whatever crap Atlanta has at QB and the Falcons team as a whole

CIN @ CLE - Will Joe Burrow be 100%? He's more of a pocket passer, which is a good thing here. Still, the calf muscles are part of the throw. This should be a good game.

JAX @ IND - This is the worst division in football, and if Trevor Lawrence is elite which I believe he is, they will be the 2001-2019 Patriots of that division for awhile.

TB @ MIN - Minnesota won't be as good (realistically, lucky) as last year, but they'll win at home against a bad Tampa team literally held together by Brady last year.

TEN @ NO - I like the Saints to win this division, with 9-10 wins. They finally have at least a solid starting QB (best in the division) and good, albeit aging, overall team.

SF @ PIT - Could go either way. Well oiled machine vs. talent-starved team with heart at home. Niners do have the tendency to drop early road games, so we'll see.

AZ @ WAS - A battle of teams with no QB. The Redskins still have their core defensive line intact. This game could end 10-7 or something like that.

HOU @ BAL - Bad team goes up against a likely wildcard team if Jackson stays healthy. Jackson will be healthy for week 1, so this is almost a lock.

GB @ CHI - Obviously the Jenga block holding up the Packers' dominance the last 15 years in this matchup is gone. Fields isn't great, but the Bears are better.

LV @ DEN - Don't really like either team in 2023, but we'll give it to the home team which has a historically good track record of W/L ratio at home in September.

PHI @ NE - The Eagles, I believe, will have a SB hangover, but realistically they're still good enough to be a wild card in 2023. The Pats are bottom feeders in 2023.

MIA @ LAC - Both teams are solid wild card contenders assuming they stay healthy. The Chargers tend to do poorly against Florida teams, even at home.

LAR @ SEA - Hopefully Stafford stays upright in 2023, but Geno Smith's reclamation story is pretty damn incredible. Carroll looks like a genius for the Denver trade.


DAL @ NYG - I don't expect the Giants to take as big of a step back as others do, but they're overmatched here on both sides of the ball. Still, should be close.


BUF @ NYJ - I believe, if Aaron Godgers stays healthy, the Jets will win this division and this is the first step. He's got an excellent receiving corps and defense now.

The problem with non-ATS is that Vegas ain’t interested in that action unless you want to risk gargantuan money lines

I’m cool with pickems though for bragging rights

if the NFL banned prevent defense, I'd be generally more comfortable with ATS

8-8 week 1…yikes. Went 4-2 in the ATS pool though
