DETROIT – The 2017 NFL season is only one game old, and we have already had our first big upset.
The Kansas City Chiefs, who were nine point underdogs against the defending Super Bowl champs, won straight up.

Each week, I will post my picks against the spread. For the record, I liked the Chiefs to cover the spread, but I won’t count that in my win-loss record throughout the season.
New York Jets +8 at Buffalo Bills
Atlanta Falcons -7 at Chicago Bears
Houston Texans -5.5 vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Washington Redskins +1 vs Philadelphia Eagles
Detroit Lions +1.5 vs Arizona Cardinals
Oakland Raiders +2 at Tennessee Titans
Baltimore Ravens +3 at Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers -8.5 at Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts +3.5 at Los Angeles Rams
Green Bay Packers -3 vs Seattle Seahawks
Carolina Panthers -5.5 at San Francisco 49ers
New York Giants +4 at Dallas Cowboys
New Orleans Saints +3.5 at Minnesota Vikings
Denver Broncos -3.5 vs Los Angeles Chargers
I have eight dogs, and six favorites this week. Week one is always the hardest week for Vegas to set spreads. It’s also the hardest week to bet on because we really don’t know which teams are going to show up this year.
