Are you ready for some football?!?! (And some NFL Week 1 picks against the spread)
After hitting on 61.9% of my best bets (70-43-5) over the past two NFL seasons, I am ready to roll in 2022!
Now, let me be clear about something before we begin. I make these picks purely for fun, and I do not actually bet any of my own money on the games. That being said, had I theoretically placed a $110 wager on each of my best bets over the past two seasons, I would be up a cool $2,270!

2022 NFL Week 1 Picks against the spread
Without further ado, here are my Week 1 picks against the spread. My BEST BETS of the week are in BOLD and ITALICIZED.
Thursday Night Football
Los Angeles Rams +2.5 over Buffalo Bills (LOSE)
The defending Super Bowl Champions are getting points at home to start the season? The Bills are a great team, but I will take the points.
Sunday’s Games
Detroit Lions +4 over Philadelphia Eagles (WIN)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 over Dallas (WIN)
New Orleans Saints -5.5 over Atlanta Falcons (LOSE)
Chicago Bears +7.5 over San Francisco 49ers (WIN)
Cincinnati Bengals -6.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers (LOSE)
Mitchell Trubisky vs. Joe Burrow. That is all I needed to hear.
New England Patriots +3.5 over Miami Dolphins (LOSE)
Not only are the Patriots an underdog against the Dolphins for the first time in forever, but they are getting three and a hook? Time to cash in!
New York Jets +7 over Baltimore Ravens (LOSE)
Washington Commanders -2.5 over Jacksonville Jaguars (WIN)
Carolina Panthers -1.5 over Cleveland Browns (LOSE)
Indianapolis Colts -7 over Houston Texans (LOSE)
Tough to give up a touchdown on the road, but the Colts are a solid team, and the Texans could be the worst team in the NFL.
Tennessee Titans -5.5 over New York Giants (LOSE)
Minnesota Vikings +1.5 over Green Bay Packers (WIN)
Kansas City Chiefs -6 over Arizona Cardinals (WIN)
Los Angeles Chargers -3 over Las Vegas Raiders (WIN)
Monday Night Football
Denver Broncos -6.5 over Seattle Seahawks (LOSE)
You can bet that Russell Wilson is going to want to make a statement in this one, so I will take the Broncos.
