1. New England -2 vs. Pittsburgh: Being that the season opener game is utterly the most popular due to the first two teams involved, it would be smart to stay far from a betting viewpoint due to so much uncertainty. Especially in this case where all eyes are on Tom Bradly’s suspension appeal. Is it the public laying the money, or the wiseguys? Still under the Super Bowl adrenaline some Patriots fans are in need of flexing some muscle or Le’Voeon Bell’s suspension has them questioning the Steelers offensive potency.

2. Green Bay -5.5 vs Chicago: Although they won, 20 to 17, the last time Packers won by less than 5.5 points in Chicago was in 2010 and Green Bay is given the thumbs up to win the NFC this year. Notwithstanding the fact that Chicago will have brighter days, it will take some time as new coaches breaks themselves is this season. Alshon Jeffrey and Kevin White have to replace Brandon Marshall, and reports are expressing that monster tight end Martellus Bennett didn’t consider the new Bears offense.

3. Minnesota +2.5 vs San Francisco: Minnesota will be a high esteem team considering the blast of Teddy Bridgewater combined with Adrian Peterson, Mike Wallace, and Trae Waynes as a lockdown corner on the opposite side of the ball. Mix that into San Francisco’s off season, which included a weekly retirement and another training staff taking over after the tumultuous completion of the Jim Harbaugh era. This is a not a recipe for success and it’s no wonder why so many are high on Minnesota.

4. Miami -2.5 at Washington: Ryan Tannehill’s hype doesn’t only come from the Miami front office but it seems a general consensus on Miami’s improvement or is Washington sliding back at the similar level as their 2014 campaign? Still 2.5 point spread is still a lot to cover on the road, however the Dolphins are battling for a wild card and they just might get one. Nonetheless, until Robert Griffin III proves he can stack up wins week over week, Miami seems like a safer bet.
