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.
The Broncos hired Sean Payton this offseason, giving Denver a Super Bowl-winning head coach. That should help quarterback Russell Wilson, who threw for just 16 touchdown passes last season. Denver’s defense kept the Broncos in a number of games a season ago, ranking in the top 10 in total defense, run defense, third-down defense and red zone defense.
Meanwhile, the Raiders struggled on defense in 2022, giving up 365.6 yards per game on average, which ranked 28th. Las Vegas’ secondary was consistently picked apart, allowing 242.9 passing yards per game. The model expects Wilson to throw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, while the Broncos rush for 100 yards, helping Denver win outright in well over 50% of simulations. Join a pool now to lock in your picks.
