Ahh, football seasons back finally and so are the weekly picks against the point spread. But it’s Week 1 and Week 1 is all conjecture (more so than the rest of the season). Who are these teams, actually? We have no idea. The excitement is palpable, optimism is high and Week 1 will be only a small glimpse of what’s to come for the season.
There’s not a whole lot to really dissect here so we’ll keep them short and sweet.
I know the Patriots are the defending champs and it’s never great to bet against them, especially when Master Hoodie months to prepare, but the Chiefs have defense and defense keeps games close, and so does Alex Smith’s game managing.
