What are some of the expert picks for week 1 in the NFL?”
As week 1 of the NFL picks season approaches a large portion of the betting public begins to analyze a teams prospects based on last years performance. The NFL is one of the leagues where player changes from one NFL picks year to the next totally change a teams potential. Just take a look at the Bears who vaulted into contention simply with the acquistion of Cutler. The other thing that you need to also remember is to forget about perseason records and NFL Picks final scores.

With that in mind I decided to take an historical look at Week 1 of the NFL picks season to see if there were some profitable betting trends. I found 10 NFL Picks Week 1 winning betting trends: Home Favorites that had a worse SU record than their opponent the prior year are 21-4 ATS in Week 1 since 2001. Week
San Francisco 49ers +6.5 -110 Why this makes our cut for NFL week 1 expert picks: Arizona allowed a ton of points to a lot of lesser teams last season and lost their home game to the 49ers last year.

This is anyone’s game. Chicago Bears +3.5 -110 Why this makes out cut for NFL week 1 expert picks: This is not the Bears team of years past and the offseason additions of quarterback Jay Cutler and offensive tackle Orlando Pace should have this offense humming. The Bears already proved last year they could run and now they should be one of the most improved offenses in the NFL today with Cutler throwing to the emerging Devin Hester.
