Best NFL Predictions for Week 1
One of the best week 1 NFL predictions the model recommends: The Minnesota Vikings (-2.5) will cover the Green Bay Packers at home in an NFC North battle. It’ll be another offense for Minnesota after wide receiver Stefon Diggs was traded to the Bills in the offseason. Minnesota still have Kirk Cousins at quarterback, Dalvin Cook on the ball, and he passed a first-round pick on wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who joins Adam Thielen as the main target.
The Minnesota defense, however, is the main factor in this game. The Vikings recently added top Pro Bowl player Yannick Ngakoue to an already fierce unit that placed fifth in the NFL in defense last season (18.9 points per game). SportsLine’s model projects that Minnesota holds Green Bay at just 19 points and covers well over 50% of simulations. The sub (46) also hits well over 50 percent of the time.
Another of the model’s Week 1 NFL picks: The Baltimore Ravens (-8) cover at home against the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore was the best team in the AFC during the regular season last year, but was rebounded in the first round of the playoffs by the Titans. They are motivated to take the next step in 2020 as reigning MVP Lamar Jackson enters his second full season under center.
Baltimore also added to its elite rushing offense by drafting JK Dobbins, who will join Mark Ingram in the backfield. The Ravens cover well over 50% of the sims, while the Plus (48.5) clears almost 60% of the time.
