PICKS ARE UP!

What's NEW this year at ScottsPicks.com?? Click HERE to find out!


NY Jets at Washington (-3)(41)
*Thursday*
Not impressed enough with Ramsey and Candidate to consider the Skins even in a primetime home opener.  Also not sold on Spurrier in the NFL just yet.  Psychological edge for the Jets facing many former teammates in this one.  Huge edge with Martin and Jordan coming out of the back field, and with an established running game Testaverde will be serviceable and don't surprised if Vinny has a few great games left in him.
NewYork Jets +3

New England at Buffalo (+0.5)(46.5)
Great side story developed mid-week with Lawyer Milloy switching sidelines for the opener - probably not enough for the Bills who failed to cover in 5 straight to the Patriots.  Buffalo unable to solve Belichick's defense which despite the recent departure should be improved after struggling a year ago.  Biggest problem here - we can't anticipate the affect Milloy getting released will have on the team.  Tread carefully here. 
New England Patriots -0.5

Denver at Cincinnati (+6)(43)
Still not impressed enough with Denver's defense to put too much faith in Broncos on the road (1-6-1 last 8 favored on the road).  Portis may give Plummer enough chances to be sucessful but we aren't ready to trust Jake on the road, even in Cinncy.
Cincinnati Bengals +6

Indianapolis at Cleveland (+0.5)(46)
Browns D not coming together as quickly as hoped, but Holcomb should be able to put up some points - however not enough to keep up with healthy Colts attack.  James looks to be okay and Dungy's D should be improved.  But not too much just yet, both defenses with some work to do leads us to play for a high scoring affair.
Indianapolis Colts -0.5
Colts/Browns OVER 46

San Diego at Kansas City (-5.5)(47)
Both teams defenses should be improved this season (they can't get much worse) and the Chiefs offense certainly will again be impressive.  Holmes looks to have recovered nicely.  Still with 2 defenses with so many questions not ready to lay this many with KC despite some key advantages.
San Diego Chargers +5.5

Houston at Miami (-14)(35.5)
Not quite ready to lay this many in a TOP PICK but we look for this to be very one sided.  No let downs in openers I would hope and still can't figure out why the Texans didn't do more to protect Carr this year.  Long day, and perhaps another long season for the Texans who may very well get shutout.
Miami Dolphins -14
Dolphins/Texans UNDER 35.5

St. Louis at NY Giants (-0.5)(46.5)
Rams could be up again this year as they've gotten healthy - can they stay healthy?  The new turf may help the Rams offense but St. Louis even at their best were not as good on the road.  Gaints have played the Rams very well recently and should again at home.
NY Giants -0.5

Baltimore at Pittsburgh (-5)(39.5)
Rookie QB on the road in Pittsburgh?  Not a good formula.  We like the Ravens defense more this year, but once again they simply don't have enough offense.  Look for the Steelers to rally after tragic events of a week ago and step it up on D.
Pittsburgh Steelers -5

Arizona at Detroit (-4)(38.5)
Loss of James Stewart devistating to the Lions this season.  We love Harrington but injuries have handcuffed the young QB.  Still, renewed optimism in Detroit with Mariucci can go a long way - at least for a few games.  Not impressed enough with Emmitt and Jeff Blake to go with the Cardinals on the road.
Detroit Lions -4

The SMART money in this game is on the over/under

Minnesota at Green Bay (+5.5)(47)
The Vikings have made improvements on defense and clearly the offense is there with Culpepper to Moss.  Running game still a question for the Vikings with the Bennett injury.  Favre and his offense should be just fine but once again the defense will be the downfall of the Packers as it was last season.  Look for an entertaining game that will remain close. 
Minnesota Vikings +5.5

Jacksonville at Carolina (-4)(35.5)
1 OF 3 TOP PICKS this week!
Guaranteed to win or next week is FREE!!

We do look for this game to stay under the total but find out who covers the spread with our TOP PICK!
Jags/Panthers UNDER 35.5

GET ALL 3 TOP PICKS!

Chicago at San Francisco (-6.5)(40.5)
The 49ers finished last season 0-10 against the spread.  Could be due in large part to Mariucci not keeping the hammer down.  Erickson keeps the hammer down.  Defense for San Fran absolutely much healthier this season and if Garcia healthy (could be big IF) 49ers own many matchup edges over Bears.  Kordell couldn't get it done with better weapons in Pitts not sold he's going to do much here.
San Francisco 49ers -6.5
New Orleans at Seattle (-3)(47.5)
Seattle's offense came together last year going 'over' 5 of last 6 and Saints went 'over' 12 times last year.  Both teams clearly better on offense than defense.  Smart money goes 'over' and plays the home team.
Seattle Seahawks -3
Seahawks/Saints OVER 47.5


Atlanta at Dallas (-2)(36)
One of 3 TOP PICKS for the price of 1!
GUARANTEED TO WIN or next week is FREE!
Get them ALL here!

Oakland at Tennessee (-3.5)(46)
A healthy Titan team is dangerous at home despite the veteran's on Oakland this is a tough trip to open the season.  Revenge game for Titans who must pressure Gannon - that's how you beat Oakland.  If they do it, they win this one.
Tennessee Titans -3.5
