NFL Week 1 Picks and Predictions

The NFL is back and so too are NFL picks and predictions. We’ve got six staff members making picks from the 10 best/most interesting games every week based on the spreads we’ll get from Westgate Superbook and we will tally the results on a running basis so you’re only following the best advice (or riding the hot hand).
