HERE WE GO!! NFL WEEK 1 - Predictions

And now, the time you've all been waiting for, the picks are in from Murphy's Pro Football Pickem Master. This year, I am utilizing a new computer program I've written to predict winners of NFL games against the Vegas Line. Last year, I did the same thing straight and predicted 71% of the games correctly. I'm offering all picks for free this season as a promotion for when I start up my NFL handicapping business. So, follow my progress and tell your friends. Word of mouth is my only advertising.

So here they are!

Murphy's Pick of the Week: St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks (-8.5)
I like the moves that the Seahawks have made since last year. Look for them to prove they have what it takes to contend. They're not gonna let up and will blow out the Rams 37-3.

Murphy's Impossible Play: Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (-10.5)
This one looks tempting, but I would stay away. The Patriots are giving a few too many points and I think Buffalo has a chance to surprise some folks. If I had to, I would take Buffalo against the spread, but I think the Pats will win the game 25-17.

Murphy's Genius Play: San Diego Chargers (-9.5) at Oakland Raiders
I had it wrong before, thanks for calling me on it. Oakland is getting the points here, and it's a lot, but don't be afraid of the spread. No one will believe you with this one, so here's what you do. Go into work Monday morning. Talk about the football events of the past weekend, and when the subject of Monday Night Football comes around, offer someone a $50 bet and take the Chargers giving 9.5 points. You will eventually find a taker and and come Tuesday you'll look like a genius and get paid. Chargers win 38-7.

And the rest:
Ten @ Pit (-6): Pittsburgh wins and covers.
Mia @ Atl (-4): Miami with a big underdog win.
KC @ Bal (-12.5): Don't be afraid of the spread. Baltimore will cover.
Phi(-1) @ Car: Should be a good one. Take Philly to Cover
Den @ Cin (-4.5): Bengals win and cover.
Min (-4) @ Cle: Vikings Defense is going to be the story of the year. Minn wins and covers.
NYJ @ Hou (-4.5): Jets should be the favorite. Take NY in a big underdog win.
Jax @ Ind (-7.5): Call me crazy but I like Jacksonville here.
Det @ NO (-13): Lions D has made big improvements. Saints win but Lions cover the spread.
Dal (-6) @ TB: I'm a Cowboys Fan, but I think they'll disappoint. Bucs Win.
SF @ Ari (-6.5): Arizona wins, but just barely beats the spread.
Was @ NYG (-6.5): Giants win big.
Chi @ GB(-3.5): Bears will surprise most with the underdog win.

Good Luck with your Plays Everyone and Stay Tuned!!
