NFL Week 1 ‘Monday Night Football’ game picks and predictions

The first week of the 2023 NFL season is nearly over, and what a week it was. We saw some wild outcomes, like the absolute blowout of the New York Giants (-4.5)

at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) and the dismantling of the Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) by the Cleveland Browns (-2). On a positive note, our Atlanta Falcons (+1.5) managed to win their first season-opener—and get their first winning record, at any point—since 2017 with a victory over the NFC South rival Carolina Panthers (+3).
