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 began the 2022 NFL season with playoff aspirations and fell flat, with Las Vegas going 6-11, while Denver went 5-12. However, both teams have regrouped and made significant changes near the top of their organizations.

The Broncos are optimistic at the prospect of former Saints head coach Sean Payton quickly turning the team’s fortunes around after the worst season of Russell Wilson’s career. The Raiders’ big offseason move was to replace Derek Carr with Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback.

Denver is favored by 3.5 points and the model is siding with oddsmakers, predicting that Las Vegas’ offense struggles significantly. It projects that the Raiders fail to mount 300 yards of total offense, while Wilson throws for over 250 yards and nearly two touchdowns on average, helping the Broncos win in 60% of simulations. Join a pool now to lock in your picks.
