There was a lot of sloppy football that was played in Week 1 of the 2023 season -- unle s your name is either or -- who will both surely be enshrined in Canton one day. All jokes aside, the could be legitimate contenders if that roster can stay healthy.I didn't get off to the hottest start with my ATS picks. I tried to lean into picking some upsets and that did not work out the way I wanted it to. I'm proud for confidently picking the to cover the largest number on the board, happy the held on for a cover against the and embarra sed I sided with the . Here comes Week 2. Bring me that horizon.Here's a look at what I'm thinking this week. As always, credit to the CBS Sports research team for making me sound smart.Top five
Dean Wade Jersey picks ATS record: 2-3Overall ATS record: 7-9Straight up record: 7-92022 Overall ATS record: 135-129-82022 Straight up record: 177-92-3Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET (Amazon Prime Video) Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings Moneyline Spread Total PHI MIN I'll bite again. Philly covered for me last week so I'll go back to the Eagles with the number under a touchdown at home in prime time. There's a reason this line may look a bit low to people. Safety (ribs), cornerback (concu sion) and running back (ribs) have already been ruled out for the Eagles, while defensive tackle (ribs) is questionable. Plus, won't be on the field either. However, the Vikings are banged-up, too. Center is out with a back injury, while left tackle (ankle) and edge rusher (ankle) are questionable. The Eagles are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games vs. the Vikings, while is 10-1 SU and 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 homes games he has started. Philly did not look incredible vs. New England in Week 1, scoring just nine points in the final three quarters after its red-hot start, but and can carry this offense against a suspect defense.I thought the Vikings would be better on defense immediately under Brian Flores, but it's kind of rattling that walked into Minnesota and , and used that to score an upset win. Yikes!The pick:Eagles -6Projected score:Eagles 30-20Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, ) Featured Game | Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Moneyline Spread Total DET SEA The Seahawks are 3-0 ATS in their last three meetings with the Lions, but you should know by now this Lions team is different. Detroit
Lamar Stevens Jersey is actually 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games, which ranks No. 1 in the in that span. After their upset victory over the , you know Ford Field is going to be rocking. In fact, it was rocking in the preseason. The Giants even had to use a silent count! The Seahawks' lo s to the was surprising. I thought Seattle's defense was going to be improved, but and both recorded 119 receiving yards apiece last Sunday. I guarantee no one had that on their bingo card. I'm not basing this pick solely off of Seattle's Week 1 performance (it's never smart to do that), but more
Andre Drummond Jersey off of the injury report. Left tackle and right tackle are both likely out Sunday, which could potentially spell disaster for . Is there a line for sacks? Take the Over.The pick:Lions -5Projected score:Lions 30-23Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox,) Featured Game | Atlanta Falcons vs. Green Bay Packers Moneyline Spread Total ATL GB I'm not ready to proclaim the next big thing like many of you Packers fans, but I do think Green Bay is better than Atlanta. The Falcons were outgained by the in pa sing yards and rushing yards in Week 1 even though they won by 14 points. pa sed for just 115 yards and one touchdown (to rookie RB ), as and were again underutilized. The Falcons definitely appear to be better on defense this year, but the Packers are more well-rounded.Love threw three touchdowns in Chicago this past weekend, and was the only quarterback in Week 1 with a perfect 158.3 pa ser rating on third/fourth down. The defense did a great job pre suring, and held Chicago's running backs to under 4 yards per rush collectively. I'll take the Packers to win again this week. The pick:Packers -1Projected score:Packers 26-20Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC, ) Featured Game | New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Moneyline Spread Total NE MIA I'm not going to be predictable and talk about how Tua threw for 466 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the , or how Tyreek caught 11 pa ses for 215 yards and
Alfonzo McKinnie Jersey two scores. I'm also not going to talk about how Miami led the in total yards (536), yards per play (8.2) and 25-plus yards plays (6) in Week 1. This pick is just about history.Mr. Tagovailoa is a remarkable 4-0 SU and ATS in his career vs. Bill Belichick. I'm not saying that the Patriots are pushovers, but with this number, there's no way I'm not going to take it. Also, hopefully Miami incorporates this week. The pick:Dolphins -3Projected score:Dolphins 27-23Monday, 7:15 p.m. ET (ESPN,) Featured Game | Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints Moneyline Spread Total CAR NO I have no problem with how No. 1 overall pick played in his first game. He had a couple of interceptions, but he's a rookie and will continue to improve as the year goes on. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the kind of support/foundation around him that I thought he would. We are just one game through the NFL season and Carolina is dealing with some notable injuries. has a nagging hamstring injury that kept him out on Sunday, offensive guard was just ruled out for the remainder of the year, fellow offensive guard is still out and cornerback suffered a "serious" hamstring injury. Plus, Carolina doesn't have the deepest roster in the league.The Saints offense didn't have an incredible outing against the , but this New Orleans defense will make things very tough on Young. The unit picked off three times in Week 1!The pick: Saints -3Projected
