Week 1 of the NFL season is finally here and so are our top five expert NFL Picks for the week.
Minnesota @ New Orleans
The Vikings are starting their season against last years champions the New Orleans saints in what will be a rematch of the NFC title game. New Orleans are the favorite with the bookmakers, however I believe that Farve will be looking to atone for his five interceptions in their last encounter and will lead the Vikings to a narrow victory in what should be a high scoring game.
Carolina @ NY Giants
Not much to say about this match-up as it should be an easy win for Eli Manning and the Giants.
Cincinnati @ New England
New England are looking like a very strong team again this year and provided the key play makers stay healthy they will be there in the playoffs. With Brady and Welker both healthy, the Patriots should be in for a very big win against the Bengals.
Greenbay @ Philadelphia
The fans in Wisconsin are expecting big things out of Aaron Rogers and the Packers this year and a panel of ‘experts’ on NFL.com even went so far as to unanimously pick the Pack as the NFC’s Superbowl team. The Eagles will put up a good fight against the packers, but Greenbay should win this one by a couple of TD’s.
Indianapolis @ Houston
The Colts are favorites with the bookies to beat the Texans, however they are still very good value at $1.70. It would be a brave man who bet against Peyton Manning and his offensive machine, so I am picking the Colts to win what should be a runway game in the end.
