So then it becomes can Dallas get the pass game going against Houston&#8217;s excellent pass defense, or, can Houston&#8217;s anemic passing offense come to life against the Swiss cheese of Dallas&#8217; secondary. Perhaps it&#8217;s not what my analogies would lead you to but I actually think bracketing (an injured) Nico Collins will work well and the Cowboys can contain Houston well enough on the road.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Packers -3.5 @ Buccaneers <em><strong>(key pick)</strong></em></p><ul><li><p>I find myself one of the few LaFleur believers left (and honestly think there&#8217;s a much stronger case Bowles should be fired). This sets up as a great get-right spot. Bowles will get funky with the coverage disguises which is my only concern but Packers defense against a QB in their first start ever with a spread this small feels solid to me.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Vikings -10.5 vs Dolphins</p><ul><li><p>Going back through the archives I can confirm this is the first time a double digit favourite has ever been in this newsletter! I usually shy away from these even when I think they&#8217;re decent bets but Brian Flores&#8217; blitz packages against Malik Willis is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb against a coughing baby. Take away Achane and Miami&#8217;s EPA/play fell off a cliff last week - my model has this over a 15pt spread with MIN at home. If you look hard enough some books have this at 9.5, and the public is actually slightly more on Miami too which is nice.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Chargers +7 @ Seahawks</p><ul><li><p>Public is 67% on Seattle here and I get why, but people need to remember we are one good Chargers offensive week away from them being priced at competitive lines against anyone - expectations will change very quickly if they can figure it out. I can&#8217;t quit the prospect of McDaniel against a defense just allowed over 30 to Marcus Mariota.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Lions -3.5 @ Panthers</p><ul><li><p>It&#8217;s very unlike me to pick all these road favourites but again this one is mispriced in my view. Panthers have put up points this year but the quality of this offense still feels shaky holding up as the season goes on. On the other hand, the Lions defensive efficiency feels like a negative outlier that will revert positively (bottom 3 in EPA/play allowed, 3rd down efficiency). Public is slightly more on Panthers too - obviously famous last words if they win but I&#8217;m betting on this being the peak of how people price the Panthers.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Saints -2.5 vs Falcons <em><strong>(key pick)</strong></em></p><ul><li><p>You can also find this -1.5 if you look hard enough (but happy to play it either way). The Falcons performance last week has to be one of the strangest results this year and after looking at it every which way I&#8217;ve come to the (maybe na&#239;ve) conclusion that the best way forward is to pretend it never happened, in which case this spread would be closer to 5.</p></li></ul></li></ul><h3><strong>Over/Under</strong></h3><ul><li><p>Jaguars/Bengals Over 51.5</p><ul><li><p>Like the Vikings bet, this is only the second time ever I&#8217;ve included an over on a line above 50. Everything here sets up as a shootout - I suspect the public has more confidence in the Jaguars offense showing up but even at a line this high, it smells to me like there is hesitancy with the Bengals putting up 23-25+, this is a team that usually only gets better through the year.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Cowboys/Texans Under 47.5 <em><strong>(key pick)</strong></em></p><ul><li><p>As I alluded to above, I frankly just see this game going different to Vegas and think I have the evidence on my side so will continue to follow that narrative here.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Cardinals/Giants Under 44.5</p><ul><li><p>Not particularly sure of who will this game but not much of a reason to think either offence will be too explosive. Cardinals have played very slow this year (in fairness, they&#8217;ve done it protecting leads, but that could happen again here).</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>Good luck this week!</p><h3><em><strong>Touchdown Squad Betting Terms and Guidelines</strong></em></h3><ul><li><p>Minimum of 6 picks/week.</p></li><li><p>Each bet&#8217;s suggestion is 1 unit (1%) of your season&#8217;s bankroll.

Not bad, but we&#8217;ll be aiming for that 1st place we got back in 2022!</p><p>This brings Touchdown Squad&#8217;s lifetime record (since 2020) to 467-354-10 (56.9%), +89.88 units:</p><ul><li><p>Spread: 254-192-5 (57.0%), +37.35 units</p></li><li><p>O/U: 213-162-5 (56.8%), +52.53 units</p></li></ul><h1><strong>Week 1 Picks</strong></h1><p><strong>To be honest, in most years Weeks 1-3 are where the money&#8217;s made. Models and intuition can typically outpace bookies in terms of adjusting to new schemes but this year, the shifts seem to be well understood and value is definitely harder to find. Mainly:</strong></p><ul><li><p>O/U are on average 1.5 points higher in Week 1s each year, though they turn out to be +2.9 points vs expectation when adjusting for game situations based on our analysis in the last 5 years. I hold the opinion though with the shift being towards heavier sets now (ie more 12, 13 personnel - especially among previously prolific offenses), points total expectations should be tempered and while opening lines looked to have been more valuable, it seems most of them have come back towards me. We will have our chances for example with DET who play lighter sets (although keeping only 6 WRs on the roster doesn&#8217;t help), but that time isn&#8217;t yet&#8230;</p></li><li><p>For spreads, new coordinators/HCs who were previously playcallers tend to be tricky since the public goes aggressive on them, and consequently Vegas usually does well. With that being said, I find this year&#8217;s crop like Kubiak or McDaniel tougher to fade, mostly since I just believe in them and think they have good environments. So as a similar but maybe underlooked theme, this year I&#8217;m targeting the new playcallers on new teams (think Declan Doyle in BAL or Mannion in Philly, for example).</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Against the Spread</strong></h3><ul><li><p>Ravens -3.5 @ Colts</p><ul><li><p>Happy to fade the Colts this year and as mentioned above I think there&#8217;s upside suprise potential for Doyle in BAL. This is a guy who&#8217;s been handpicked and learnt under both McVay and Payton.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Browns +8.5 @ Jaguars</p><ul><li><p>Definitely feels gross but given how big the line is, feels like you're getting good value for being contrarian. Public is over 80% on JAX so that helps too.</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Cowboys -2.5 @ Giants (key pick)</strong></p><ul><li><p>Long-time fans will know we&#8217;ve done lots of analysis on these NFC East games before. Spreads are usually deceptively small but DAL plays well here, and while NYG under Harbaugh will be more competitive, I am surprised the spread is this small given potential snap counts for key NYG offensive pieces.</p></li></ul></li></ul><h3><strong>Over/Under</strong></h3><ul><li><p>Buccaneers/Bengals Under 50.5</p><ul><li><p>Doesn&#8217;t feel good to side with the public here but have to agree the line is aggressive. CIN offense is explosive but TB defense shouldn&#8217;t be doubted this much.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Browns/Jaguars Over 40.5</p><ul><li><p>This is essentially a bet on Monken and/or Coen having some tricks up their sleeve that surprise defenses coming out of the offseason.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Jets/Titans Over <s>39.5</s> 38.5</p><ul><li><p>Another contrarian pick that will either hit big or miss big, but I&#8217;d rather bet on the former. Jets defense is horrific and maybeee Geno can still make this thing go. Public is heavily, <strong>and I mean heavily (92%!),</strong> on the Under.</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Packers/Vikings Over 45.5 (key pick)</strong></p><ul><li><p>Back in 2022, KOC&#8217;s first game as a HC was a blowout win vs the Packers in Week 1. While I doubt that happens again, these are two fantastic playcallers who seemingly each have offensive hurdles the market is punishing them for. In GB, people are overreacting to Jacobs&#8217; absence - Lafleur has really never been reliant on any one skill-position player, let alone an aging, inefficient buiser back; and in MIN, well we&#8217;ll just start betting on them until people get how good this Kyler/KOC combo is gonna be&#8230;</p></li><li><p><em>Edit: As of 7 hours before 1pm kickoffs, this line has moved to 46.5. I would still feel fine playing it but it is less attractive than before.</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><p>Good luck this week!</p><h3><em><strong>Touchdown Squad Betting Terms and Guidelines</strong></em></h3><ul><li><p>Minimum of 6 picks/week.</p></li><li><p>Each bet&#8217;s suggestion is 1 unit (1%) of your season&#8217;s bankroll.
