Week 1 NFL game picks: Rams knock off Bills; Seahawks surprise ... (NFL.com)

Will the reigning champion Rams open the season with an upset of the Super Bowl favorite Bills? Is Broncos QB Russell Wilson in for a rough return to ...

It’s Pete’s Super Bowl, except this time he won’t [pass at the goal line](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJnsU6wqTNM). They’ll make [Lamar Jackson](https://www.nfl.com/players/lamar-jackson/) earn it. I’m optimistic Josh McDaniels’ staff will improve both units to average, and Chargers cornerback The Titans might not field an explosive attack, but they have years of experience on both sides of the ball, while the G-Men are just starting a rebuilding year. I initially had Jacksonville winning this game, but flipped the pick when I thought about how this Washington staff is in its third season and should be further along in the program than a new Jags group, at least in Week 1. The other man is Matt Patricia, who added [DeVante Parker](https://www.nfl.com/players/devante-parker/), a player the Dolphins were happy to give up. [Joe Flacco](https://www.nfl.com/players/joe-flacco/) to start this early AFC North gauntlet in [the schedule](https://www.newyorkjets.com/schedule/), with [Zach Wilson](https://www.nfl.com/players/zach-wilson/) now out until Week 4, [at least](https://www.nfl.com/news/jets-qb-joe-flacco-to-start-vs-ravens-with-zach-wilson-recovering-from-preseason). [Jack Conklin](https://www.nfl.com/players/jack-conklin/) can't get healthy. The Colts outscored the Texans 62-3 last season, so a score like this would mark substantial progress for Lovie Smith's team. It's a wild world when the Bengals have the more stable QB situation and more loaded overall roster in this AFC North matchup. [Jameis Winston](https://www.nfl.com/players/jameis-winston/) knows this scheme better than he did a year ago and his weapons are vastly improved. While Buffalo’s pass rush should be better, the cornerback depth chart is a legitimate weakness until [Tre’Davious White](https://www.nfl.com/players/tre-davious-white/) is back.

Canada's Duvernay-Tardif would love one more NFL season (The Globe and Mail)

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, the Super Bowl champion, is hoping for one more football season before retiring this winter.

He started seven of his eight games at right guard for the Jets. The 6-foot-5, 321-pound Duvernay-Tardif returned to Kansas City last season expecting to battle for his starting spot, but was sidelined for a month after breaking a hand in training camp. Duvernay-Tardif, who’d just rushed home from a workout Thursday morning, was flying to Saint-Tropez, France, later in the day for this weekend’s SailGP race.

2 wide receiver with my FanDuel Best Bet for the season opener. There are only a few experiences in this world that are better than kicking off the NFL season with a winner. Whether it’s a winning bet on FanDuel or beating Wesley Cheng in a Week 1 showdown in our TSN EDGE fantasy football league, it’s all about getting that W. While Stefon Diggs remains the No. Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Thursday Sept. Even with the NFL back, I’d love to keep it rolling with a FanDuel MLB best bet for Thursday. If Alcantara can keep the Philadelphia Phillies off the board in the first inning, then all we’ll need is Kyle Gibson to keep one of the worst offences in baseball off the board for one inning in order for the No Run In The First Inning bet to cash. After a disappointing Tuesday in which the New York Mets lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates the Atlanta Braves failed to cover the run line against the Oakland Athletics, I went right back to those two teams for my FanDuel Best Bet for Wednesday. FanDuel Best Bet For The NFL Opener The Bills are down to +600 to win it all entering tonight’s opener, in part because of how they finished last season, and in part because of a busy off-season in which they solidified one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the NFL. Morning Coffee: A FanDuel best bet for the NFL season opener As for tonight, I can’t wait to kick off the 2022 season in studio with the TSN EDGE team.

Are James and Dalvin Cook related? NFL's latest set of brothers set ... (Sporting News)

As James Cook joins the NFL ranks, he will look to have as much success as his brother, Dalvin, has had during his career to date.

As such, it's hard to say which Cook is the quickest. His official time later came in at 4.42 seconds, but the NFL Network's Simulcam seemed to show that Dalvin was faster. Demarcus is the youngest of the four Cook brothers. They are roughly the same size, but James is a bit taller and lighter than his brother. Dalvin Cook Cook is a three-time Pro Bowler and his 4.7 yards per carry average is tied for the 20th-best in NFL history. James Cook Dalvin will be cheering on James as his little brother looks to make it at the NFL level. He was a second-round pick by the Vikings in the 2017 NFL Draft and has since turned into one of the NFL's most dynamic runners. The younger Cook feels that he is well-prepared to enter the NFL. Three of the brothers have gone on to become professional athletes with two playing in the NFL. As such, it will be interesting to see how the battle between Dalvin and James shapes up during the latter's rookie season.

– Buccaneers – I mean, it’s Tom Brady vs. How will the fans respond to Wilson’s return? Dallas’ defense led the league in forced turnovers and appears to still have that magic, as well as the next Devin Hester in return-man KaVontae Turpin. 1 game of the week and it will air in most of the country. Giants – The Giants have been bad for a long time. Jackson, EDGE Khalil Mack, and DTs Sebastian Joseph-Day and Austin Johnson complemented with the star power of S Derwin James and EDGE Joey Bosa. The Packers are beginning the post-Davante Adams era, and Matt LaFleur’s team will also roll out what could be one of the NFL’s best defenses in 2022. sidelined for at least four weeks, Gibson has the opportunity to once again show coaches why he was once considered one of the top young running backs in the league. Jaguars – The excitement surrounding Trevor Lawrence’s arrival was dulled by the disaster that was the brief Urban Meyer era in Jacksonville. Eagles – One of the few teams entering the 2022 regular season with outrageous hype, the Eagles are the team to watch on Sunday because there’s star power at every position, and a revamped defense that could become the NFL’s best by seasons end. You are going to want to tune in to see if Mitch Trubisky, who is a huge leap athletically can get the most out of what promises to be a very talented group of skill-position players while at the same time contending with an aggressive Bengals defense going against a shaky Steelers offensive line.

2022 NFL Season Betting Preview: Super Bowl, MVP, win totals and ... (Sportsnet.ca)

A new year of NFL football means fresh opportunities to beat the bookmakers. Here's an overview of the main futures markets for the 2022 NFL season.

Davante Adams (+10000) and Ja'Marr Chase (+12500) have the best odds among wide receivers once you get past Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel +8000 A quarterback has been named MVP in each of the past nine seasons so it’s no surprise to see the frontrunners comprised exclusively of starting pivots. The Giants and Commanders will do their darndest to compete but it’s again looking like a two-team race this year. Kansas City has finished above .500 in every year of the Andy Reid era and are looking to win their seventh straight AFC West title. Buffalo is the chalk pick for the Super Bowl so naturally they’re also expected handle business within their division for a third consecutive season. Notice the low win total paired with a comparatively short Super Bowl price? Those three teams are on clear upwards trajectories, while the odds also indicate the Texans, Falcons, Bears and Seahawks are projected to be near the bottom of the standings most of the season. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles don’t garner the same type of attention as Dak Prescott’s Cowboys, however expectations are rising in Philly following an off-season full of blockbuster moves. The Chargers, like the Bills, are a team on the rise still aiming to reach the same stratosphere their L.A. How will Green Bay’s superstar adapt to a receiving corps full of question marks after the departure of Davante Adams, though? Bucs is the chalk Super Bowl matchup as the only teams with listed win totals of 11.5 and odds shorter than 10/1 to win it all.

[Kaiir Elam](https://www.nfl.com/players/kaiir-elam/)and [Christian Benford](https://www.nfl.com/players/christian-benford/)(a sixth-rounder who played FCS ball a year ago) held up extremely well, and [Dane Jackson](https://www.nfl.com/players/dane-jackson/)had a pick. Mix that in with the outside zone toss plays — a Kyle Shanahan staple — that appear to be a new wrinkle and Dorsey was able to keep the Rams’ defense off-kilter several times. Some of his usage can be attributed to the score getting a bit out of hand. Then on the first play of the fourth quarter, Allen faced a Cover-0 blitz and dialed up a deep ball to [Gabe Davis](https://www.nfl.com/players/gabe-davis/)for 47 yards. On the TD drive that put the Bills up 17-10, Dorsey used Allen as a runner a few times, resulting in his highlight-reel stiff-arm of Rams safety Stafford’s first interception looked like a miscommunication with tight end [Tyler Higbee](https://www.nfl.com/players/tyler-higbee/)— hard to know who’s to blame. On the second INT, Stafford tried to dial up his Super Bowl magic with the no-look (three-quarters arm angle) pass to [Cooper Kupp](https://www.nfl.com/players/cooper-kupp/), but Stafford was high and off-target with it. [Matthew Stafford](https://www.nfl.com/players/matthew-stafford/)is fully healthy. Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was in his bag early on in his first regular-season game as a play-caller.

N.F.L. Week 1 Predictions: Our Picks Against the Spread (The New York Times)

Tom Brady and Dak Prescott trade shots, the Raiders and Chargers pick up where they left off, and Russell Wilson returns to Seattle. But do home teams have ...

This year, the team and its quarterback, Lamar Jackson, in a contract year, have a lot to prove. Surprisingly, 91 percent of the money bet on this game has come in on the Texans. Last season the Broncos lost a lot of close games, and Wilson seems like the missing piece to correct that trend. This game opened +4 and is now sitting at +2.5 after 90 percent of the money came in on the Jaguars. Detroit finished a terrible 2021 season with a 3-13-1 record, but the team was surprisingly one of the best against the spread at 11-6. The Steelers have had offensive line issues in the preseason, but the Bengals have only one of their offensive line starters returning from last season. In a battle of defenses, the Steelers should have an advantage in 2021’s defensive player of the year, T.J. The Bears had one of the worst defenses in the league last season and were 0-5 as home underdogs last season, including a loss to San Francisco. Perhaps that explains why only 29 percent of bets are on the Bears but 65 percent of the money is. The 7.5-point spread is the second biggest of the week. [The Packers lost their last season-opener in a 38-3 blowout to the Saints](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/12/sports/football/week-1-packers-saints-aaron-rodgers.html). The spread is only 2 points, presaging a continuation of Minnesota’s streak of nail-biters and heartbreakers.

Four NFL quarterbacks who have no excuses this season — and ... (The Washington Post)

Some NFL quarterbacks, such as Russell Wilson and Jalen Hurts, have been better set up for success by their respective teams than others.

Dallas has had [a markedly worse offense](https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/tyron-smith-injury-impact-dallas-cowboys/) in the games he has missed, and now the Cowboys will be relying on a rookie left tackle, Tyler Smith, with a similar name but probably not a similarly effective game.

Wondering which NFL teams are going to win in Week 1? You've come to the right place to find out.

[Buccaneers](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/TB/tampa-bay-buccaneers/) also have offensive line woes. Although I'm picking the Packers to get to the Super Bowl out of the NFC this year, I'm NOT picking them to win this game and that's because I think it's going to take a week or two for them to adjust to life without [Davante Adams](/nfl/players/1893167/davante-adams/). I pick out a waffle and she says "nope" and this goes on and on and until she gets so bored of the game that she just picks out her own waffle. [Patriots](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NE/new-england-patriots/) are now a one-man coaching staff and that everyone else is just on the sideline for show. Since this is the worst pick section, this is the perfect time to tell you that I am apparently the worst waffle picker in the history of parenting. [Kyler Murray](/nfl/players/2180829/kyler-murray/) who had the weirdest offseason of any NFL quarterback. [Panthers](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/CAR/carolina-panthers/) weren't a great team last year, they actually have a pretty stacked roster. In case you haven't noticed, Murray seems to have a somewhat dysfunctional relationship with the [Cardinals](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/ARI/arizona-cardinals/). [Von Miller](/nfl/players/1620879/von-miller/) will be able to fill that role in 2022. [Click here to check it out](https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/pick-six/)).

Bills kick off NFL season playing up to high expectations (Toronto Star)

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — For one night — and a big one, no less — the Buffalo Bills played up to the weighty expectations many had hung on them this ...

It’s a rematch from last season, when Allen was stopped near the goal line in the final seconds of a 90% — The Bills set a franchise record in converting nine of 10 third-down opportunities since the statistic began being tracked in 1973. Perhaps, it was payback after Ramsey, while playing for Jacksonville, once referred to Allen as “trash” after the Bills selected the quarterback in the first round of the 2018 draft. Not much needs adjusting, except someone reminding Allen and/or Dorsey to limit the number of quarterback runs especially with Buffalo leading by 21 in the final quarter. The Bills are back on prime-time for their home opener against Tennessee on Sept. As the NFL’s active leader in sacks, Miller’s stock was never down. And Buffalo’s secondary, featuring two new starters at cornerback, mostly held up and was responsible for two of Stafford’s three interceptions. “Of course it gives us a lot of confidence, probably even overconfidence,” receiver Gabe Davis said. Isaiah McKenzie’s debut as Buffalo’s slot receiver was spotty. Josh Allen was in command of an offense, which scored on three straight second-half possessions. Buffalo generated 413 yards offense a year after topping 400 yards eight times and scoring 30-plus points nine times. Von Miller’s offseason addition invigorated a pass rush, which registered seven sacks.

NFL WEEK 1 PICKS: Season looks to kick off with a bang and ... (Toronto Sun)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) smiles during the national anthem before the game against the Indianapolis Colts ...

This season, the Dallas offence lost some key pieces in the off-season and all-pro tackle Tyron Smith to injury. But with both sides coming in fresh and the visitors with more to prove, this might be closer than expected. It’s hard to say that any Week 1 tilt is a must-win game, but the stakes are very high here, especially for the Vikes. Their home-field advantage remains sketchy and the Raiders also improved over the off-season. The Bucs should have Dak Prescott on the run all night. It’s tough to be optimistic for this team, even against a historic doormat like the Jags. The Lions have their fair share of good will, too, but it’s still Jared Goff under centre. The Chargers are another pre-season hype team that might be a bit overvalued here. If they aren’t ready to run all over a sad-sack Bears team, that could spell trouble early. Getting this many points in a rivalry game is too tempting. Lamar Jackson should look to emulate Flacco in one way: The ex-Ravens QB led the team to the Super Bowl and then cashed in with a big new contract. Article content

With the arrival of [Russell Wilson](/nfl/players/1272242/russell-wilson/), Denver could be a legitimate squad.

[Baker Mayfield](/nfl/players/2080032/baker-mayfield/) gets a chance to enact some revenge against the franchise that drafted him No. Listen, I think the Jets did a lot of great things in the offseason and that this franchise is on the right track. The Browns haven't won a Week 1 game on the road since 1994, when head coach Bill Belichick and starting quarterback Vinny Testaverde led them to a win over the Bengals. Gardner-Johnson roaming the second and third levels, this unit could make life tough on [Jared Goff](/nfl/players/2061053/jared-goff/). [Jalen Hurts](/nfl/players/2240246/jalen-hurts/), and I want to see if [A.J. 1 wideouts](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/a-j-brown-says-eagles-have-two-no-1-wide-receivers-with-devonta-smith-the-skys-the-limit-for-smitty/), what will Nick Sirianni do differently?

NFL DFS Week 1 Picks: Bargain Buys and Spend-Up Studs (Sports Illustrated)

The NFL season is kicking off this Sunday! Looking to build some winning lineups? Here are some players to consider for the Sunday DFS Main slate.

[Christian Kirk](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/christian-kirk), [Elijah Moore](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/elijah-moore), and [Rashod Bateman](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/rashod-bateman) round out my value wideouts. [Kenyan Drake](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/kenyan-drake), who I expect to see action vs. [Najee Harris](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/najee-harris) is also a good choice vs. [Aaron Jones](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/aaron-jones) this week vs. [Michael Pittman](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/michael-pittman-jr) is a screaming value vs. [Zach Ertz](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/zach-ertz) is my favorite value at TE for Sunday's main slate. [Jonathan Taylor](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/jonathan-taylor) is a pretty penny, but he averaged 144 rushing yards per game in his two matchups vs. [Austin Ekeler](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/austin-ekeler) is also in a great spot facing a Las Vegas team that allowed the fourth-most DFS points to running backs in 2021. I expect some lead changes, and though the Green Bay defense is expected to be improved this year, they surrendered the 11th- most DFS points to opposing QBs in 2021. Jefferson's QB is in the value tier, so consider the pair. Mahomes is the highest-priced QB on the slate, and he's also playing in the game with the highest implied total of the week on SISB (54). a Jets team that surrendered the fourth most passing yards, the fourth most rushing yards and the most rushing touchdowns to opposing teams in 2021.
