ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? NFL WEEK ONE 2024

UPDATE SURVIVOR POOL BELOW (Bengals lost- it's not pretty) 

This is our favourite time of the year. The baseball division races are heating up. The US Open's finals are being played. In the northeast there is a hint of fall in the air. And the NFL is back and we are ready for football. 

If you have followed our picks over the years (and if you have you can thank us for that new 911 Turbo you're driving) then you know we are big on identifying early season trends before the rest of the world catches up. 
Our trends- the team that starts the hottest until it cools off in January is our own Miami Dolphins. So we are on them big early, starting with Miami over Jax Sunday 3.5. Ride those Dolphins as they jump out to an 8-2 start and make Miamians think of a super bowl and Bourbon street this  year.....until mid-January rolls around. 

The Panthers will be bad, but if you can get +7 in a game, consider it. The Texans will be good, but the line will be too high and they won't cover much. Ditto Jets. The Bills took a step back, so avoid them in knock-out pools and take points against them (but probably not this weekend as we do not like the Cardinals at all but 8 seems too high for the Bills to cover so just leave the game alone.) 

Want a team to watch? The DC Commanders. Also the Raiders- bad defense but Gardner Minchew is a more than a decent QB and he has weapons. 

People are down on the Chargers. We are not. They got a beast rookie O lineman, a good rookie WR in Ladd McConkey and Herbert can sling it. They will give KC a run for their money in the division. 

It is going to be a great year. 

Todays picks: 

Best Bet: Fins at home - 3.5 over Jags;  we did a nice parlay over 49 and Fins -3.5 $75 pays 247.50 on DraftKings which you cannot use if you're not in the beautiful northeast today (but try the Hardrock app which allows bets in Fla). 

Home Dog? We love Home Dogs. We have a vacation home paid for by home dogs. Giants +1.5 over Vikes. 

Game of the Day: The 4pm Cowpokes at the Brownies. Cleveland has a real strong team on paper except for ....that small position called the QB. The Cowboys are one of the two summer soldiers that perform well in September and October before breaking their fans' hearts (the other being our Fins). So Ride Dak showing Jerry why he deserves that new contract and bet against the worst trade and signing in recent memory-the Browns trade for Deshaun Watson. Cowboys + 2.5 at the mistake by the lake. 
We l...o...v..e.. the over 41 here, and again you can parlay it with the Cowboys getting 3.5. 

Raiders at Chargers. Over 40 is a great bet. We parlayed it with the over 41 Cowboys game AND did a sweet three way parlay with the Fins over 49 for 25 bucks because that will keep us in Pizza and hard seltzer until the end of the season. 

Fantasy Football dig....Oh they laughed at us when we reached waayyyy down the draft board to nab Xavier Worthy, WR Chiefs. But our specialty is picking rookies who tear it up. We did it when Mahomes started after sitting a year; we drafted Saquon when he was a rookie and then never touched him, and now we did it with X. Fastest WR in the league and he has Mahomes throwing to him??? This isn't hard folks. Two TDs in his first game; a TD the first time he touched the ball. Laugh all you want.
