PRO PICKS: NFL WEEK 1 FOR 4 SEASONS SPORTS PALACE

New England wasn't the only entity with a strong performance in the post-season last winter. Pro Picks did well enough to finish four games over break-even against the spread for the entire season.

As this NFL season gets started in Foxborough tonight, here are Pro Picks' selections for Week 1:

No. 7 Kansas City at No. 1 New England (minus 9)
The Champs roll.
PATRIOTS, 28-17

No. 14 Arizona (minus 1 1-2) at No. 19 Detroit
We must be missing something here because we think Lions should be favoured.
UPSET SPECIAL: LIONS, 26-21

No. 5 Atlanta (minus 7) at No. 29 Chicago
- No matter how much Super Bowl hangover Falcons have, they should handle dreadful Bears.
FALCONS, 30-14

No. 2 Seattle (plus 3) at No. 3 Green Bay
Look for these two to meet up in January, too.
SEAHAWKS, 24-23

No. 27 Jacksonville (plus 5 1-2) at No. 11 Houston
Houston strong.
TEXANS, 20-10

No. 6 Oakland (plus 2) at No. 10 Tennessee
We like both teams to make the post-season.
RAIDERS, 27-24

No. 9 New York Giants (plus 3 1-2) at No. 8 Dallas
Zeke will play, OBJ might not. We still like the Giants.
GIANTS, 28-27

No. 23 New Orleans (plus 3 1-2) at No. 15 Minnesota, Monday night
Welcome back, Adrian. Now run wild.
SAINTS, 23-21

No 17 Philadelphia (pick-em) at No. 21 Washington
Eagles could be surprise team this season, though they appear a year away from contention.
EAGLES, 23-20

No. 22 Baltimore (plus 3) at No. 20 Cincinnati
Few teams were damaged in preseason like the Ravens.
BENGALS, 21-20

No. 4 Pittsburgh (minus 9) at No. 31 Cleveland
Browns are better than in 2016. So are Steelers, on a different level.
STEELERS, 26-20

No. 25 Indianapolis (plus 3) at No. 30 Los Angeles Rams
Colts are plain out of Luck.
RAMS, 14-13

No. 13 Carolina (minus 5 1-2) at No. 26 San Francisco
Panthers have a lot to prove, can't stumble here.
PANTHERS, 27-24

No. 24 Los Angeles Chargers (plus 3 1-2) at No. 18 Denver, Monday night
Chargers have better QB and RB. Beyond that, a mismatch.
BRONCOS, 20-13

No. 32 New York Jets (plus 7 1-2) at No. 28 Buffalo
Jets might just cover because Bills have weak offence aside from LeSean McCoy. Nah.
BILLS, 14-3
