Pick - Spread
Houston

Indianapolis
Houston -1.5 (-110)
Best Odds -1.5 -115
Anthony Richardson is back at QB for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, but how much will that help one of the league's worst defenses in 2023... which bolstered the front seven but is running it back with a young (and volatile) secondary. A Week 1 matchup vs. Houston — with C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, and offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs — will not do them any favors, plus the Texans also beefed up the defense with veteran defenders Danielle Hunter and Denico Autry.

Pick - Prop
Tennessee 
at 
Chicago
at Under 43.5 (-110)
There are a lot of new pieces on both offenses and things could take a while to gel in Tennessee. Brian Callahan will be making his first HC gig but also trying to pull off play-calling duties which is never an easy task. It will be a big change in offense for Will Levis as well. The Bears also have a huge curve to overcome with a new QB and new OC. In this game alone, there is a rookie QB with a new OC, QB coach, and passing game coordinator, and the Titans have a 2nd year QB with all new offensive pieces, a new HC, and OC. This could be a messy offensive performance from both sides.

Pick - Spread
N.Y. Jets 
at 
San Francisco
San Francisco -5 (-113)
Best Odds -5 -108
Kyle Shanahan, at home, vs his former defensive coordinator with a spread inside six points? Sign me up! The 49ers don't mess around on their home field where they have 15 double-digit wins in their last 21 regular season games. San Fran came out flying in their season opener last season when they obliterated the Steelers, in Pittsburgh, by 23 points and I wouldn't be shocked to see a similar result against the Jets. Aaron Rodgers is now 40 years old and a few seasons removed from MVP-caliber play. Many are once again buying the hype on the Jets, but I'm not one of them.
