No sport has a longer offseason than football, which only heightens the anticipation of the arrival of NFL office pools. The new NFL season is only weeks away, with the league’s 104th year kicking off on Thursday, September 7. All 16 games in the opening week NFL schedule have single-digit NFL spreads per the Week 1 NFL odds, ranging from two points for Bengals vs. Browns (+2) to 9.5 for Ravens vs. Texans (+9.5).
Anyone familiar with NFL pick’em or football office pools knows that Week 1 is the hardest week to make NFL predictions. You have no in-season data to go by, while preseason and last year’s results can only tell you so much. Excelling with Week 1 NFL picks would give you bragging rights among family, friends or co-workers. If you’re up for it, CBS Sports has the perfect game to keep you locked in all season long.

Get football picks for every game from a proven NFL model
We’ll give you one team to consider backing during the NFL’s opening week. SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Denver Broncos to take care of business at home versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
Both teams disappointed last year, as Denver went 5-12, while Vegas went 6-11. While the Broncos overhauled their coaching staff and brought in Super Bowl winner Sean Payton, Las Vegas is running back the same head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. Last year’s Raiders team was the first in NFL history to lose five games in which it held double-digit leads in the second halves of those games.
Las Vegas is also replacing longtime quarterback Derek Carr with Jimmy Garoppolo, which could be viewed as a downgrade. Additionally, star wide receiver Davante Adams has openly expressed reservations with Vegas’ vision for the offense this offseason, while reigning rushing champion Josh Jacobs is still holding out.
With Denver already possessing a top-10 defense, SportsLine’s model has the Broncos prevailing over the Raiders in 60% of simulations. Join a pool now to lock in your picks.
