NFL Sunday is here.

Remember when you post your selections, they need to have a valid handicapping angle given to it. Not a hunch, not just a pick but a solid reasoning behind your selection.

Keep in mind people do tail your picks.

Let's have a big season ahead.

FREAK

Ind ml the colts will win this game outright raven new coach new offense take the colts +150

Panthers +3, The bears were one of the most fortunate teams in the luck factor being involved in 11 one score games last year winning 7 while leading the league in forced turnovers I think that’ll be tough to replicate

Shelton ML. He is focused and knows this is his opportunity to end the drought for an American man to win a title. He will have the crowd behind him and with the way he’s serving I find that he will be very hard to beat today

Chicago Bears -3
Bears should continue their upward trajectory while the Panthers over achieved last year
Bears have dominated Carolina in recent years going 7-1 in their last 8 matchups
Bears defense should improve this season while the Panthers are without starting LT Ekwonu and RT Moton
Panthers have lost each of their last four season openers

Tampa Bay +3 1H

The Buccaneers are under-the-radar compared to Cincinnati here, a team with the flashy offense and Super Bowl aspirations. But don't overlook Baker Mayfield on his new contract coming out fast and putting up points early. The Bengals may still win the game, but I like Tampa Bay to get off to a fast start.

Vikings ML -130…Vikings fired up having Kyler Murray under center…Jefferson has had some huge games vs Packers and surely would want to start strong…Packers missing Parsons and Jacobs too much to overcome at a tough place to play…money has been going on Vikings raising it to 2.5..took safer route taking the ML

MLB:

San Diego/San Fran Over 7

Over is 5-0-1 in Giants last 6 games a home underdog.
Over is 4-0-1 in Giants last 5 vs. National League West.
Over is 5-0 in Webbs last 5 starts as a favorite.
Over is 5-0-1 in Giants last 6 vs. a team with a winning record.
Over is 5-0-2 in Giants last 7 games following a loss.
Over is 5-0 in Webbs last 5 starts on grass.

Giants +3
Sunday Night Division Home Teams Are 10-2 since 1995
Giants 24-23

Twins -130

Joe Ryan starts for Minnesota and he’s 6-9 with a 3.68 ERA. Tanner Bibee goes for Cleveland and he’s 5-15 with a 4.22 ERA. He’s given up 5 runs in his last 2 starts going only into the 4th inning. Look for that Twins to win the series.

Nfl
Bear -3.5
Gl

The Panthers will be missing both starting tackles, meaning QB Bryce Young will be running for his life.

DAL (u48) This is not the 2025 DAL defense. They have close to 15 new defensive players on their roster and from last years squad, 15+ players are not even on any NFL team's active roster. They will go in with a conservative approach especially with their O Line banged up. Harbaugh will do the same his first game out as the NYG should be improved on defense but their offense will struggle to score.

NYG +3.5
Harbaugh era starts with a home dog win against arch rivals.
NYG will control line of scrimmage and Dart and Boo will due damage when they extend plays
DAllas inflated with the strong preseason but that means little here.

NYG 24-20

Steelers 6.5 -110 debuting coaches for the steelers are undefeated, Also 3rd string Qb for the Falcons is a bad recipes especially on the road. Steelers in a rout

Yankees vs Mets
There has been at least one run scored in the first inning in seven of the Mets’ last eight games as underdogs against AL East opponents.
There has been at least one run scored in the first inning in five of the Yankees’ last six games.
Take Over .5 runs 1st inning

Able to get a nice parlay at -137 with the Detroit ML for week 1 & Tampa Bay (vs Cle) ML for week 2. Detroit has more depth and their “return” feels important for a week 1 reg season game as a TD fave, plus the -7 held. They won’t look ahead to week 2. And Tampa week 2 is Baker vs his old team and all they gotta do is win. Feels like a fun value play! Longer analysis and three other plays for week 1 on selections central.

LAA/Wash over 9 1/2
Wash 3rd highest scoring team in the league
Two hittable pitchers and two poor bullpens involved

I’ve enjoyed your tennis!

10 pt teaser
Steelers +4 expect to win outright. Plus pts w cooper rush starting
Lions +3 offensive advantage at home, getting a field goal here
Ravens +6.5 like ravens defense against jones returning from injury

Giants +3
Dart and giants are the right side
Take the dog, Better qb and head coach in this matchup.

Houston Texans.+1.. Like Texas lady night, think Buffalo scores first and Texans find a way to get the money

Bills Texans under 44.5. Texans defense will continue to give Allen problems and Buffalo defense will come out strong today vs stroud

Cin Reds +166

We got Cin #1 vs Milw # 5 and if it wasn’t for the Miz Burns maybe the top candidate for the NL Cy Young love the value here as Gasser has had problems with the Teds in his couple starts and Burns beat Milw this yr at Milw for his only appearance against them the Reds also hit LHP fairly well also so I will be taking the Reds today

I’m sure more of a reason can be given. This also doesn’t make the most sense.

Clev +8.5...ugly dog but I'll take it, this line has moved to far to fast...my stats hit 56.23% so some edge for sure on this side today...up to 2 units and will live bet up to 1.5 units more likely...GLA!

Atlanta Braves-125

Phillies have sunk it up as an underdog this year going 7-24. Phillies starter Painter is a woeful 3-9 with a 5.71 ERA. Braves!

Houston +1.5 -115

Stroud is 5-2 ATS as home underdog and Allen is 0-4 straight up in Houston. Good luck.

Week 1 NFL is never easy so just going with my gut here today.

Pit -6 at home against Atlanta that has QB problems so Steelers Defense should shut them down today. Score Pit 27 Atl 13

MLB

Baltimore +125

Baltimore lost yesterday but today gonna win
Lose 1 then win second game today

Baltimore -3

Think this should be an easy week 1 game for the Ravens. New head coach ready to prove himself with a Baltimore team out to show they are still a top contender. Baltimore has the better offense and better defense and will dominate this matchup. Way W for the Ravens in week 1

Vikings ml

With a shift toward outside-zone running behind a healthy offensive line (anchored by tackles Christian Darrisaw and Brian O'Neill) alongside additions like Jauan Jennings and Jordan Mason, the offense has the balance to sustain long drives.

MLB

952 Atlanta

Atlanta is 37-20 as a Home Favorite
Atlanta is 51-26 at Home
Philadelphia is 6-14 as a Road Dog

Yankees -1.5 +115.....Mets dropped 12 on the Yanks in their house yesterday but they have Schlitter on the mound today so the Mets aren't likely to get many runs

Josh Downs overs (rec/yards)

I'm calling my shot here. Downs is the WR1 on this team in terms of volume. Michael Pittman Jr. is gone. Alec Pierce has an ankle injury, and he's going to play, but they're 3.5 point home dogs here and there should be healthy passing volume.

NYG +3

I don't think with their weak ass defense, the Cowboys should be a favorite here. Last the Cowboy defense gave up the most points out of any team. They hired a new D coordinator in Christian Parker but he's young (34) and I don't think with their personnel they'll be able to turn things around. For the Giants I'm hoping Nabers (currently he's still a game time decision) will play. With Dart, the rushing game with Cam Skat the Giants can have a balanced offense where teams can't overload on one side. Last year the Giants scored 37 and 34 vs the Cowboys so I think the offense will score.

NFL N.Y. Giants +3.5
Cowboys have owned them in the past but
last year the giants beat them and play the other
game close. Hoping the home team has the edge
tonight
