Week 1 picks from a “dog or pass” point of view”
We’ve had a taste of NFL preseason football and CFB Week 0 and Week 1, but now we finally get what we’ve all been waiting for with NFL Week 1 kicking off this weekend.
My weekly VSiN column will break down the full NFL schedule each weekend of the season (all 16 games this week with fewer during bye weeks) just like we’ve done over the years here in VSiN’s weekly digital magazine, “Point Spread Weekly,” and now on the website.
My longtime readers know I’m a “dog-or-pass bettor,” and my breakdown of each game will usually be from that point of view as we try to determine if the dog is getting enough points to make them a play – or if I recommend passing on the game. Even if I don’t have an official Best Bet, I’ll still at least give my recommended “pool play strategy” for those who play in contests where they have to pick every game.
Now, I know not everyone is as “dogmatic” as me, but I’ve always had a lot of readers that bet chalk tell me that they still read these columns every week because they like to see which dogs I’m not able to make a case for as that gives them the green light to lay the points. So, the goal here is to have something for everyone as we’re all trying to beat the books, right?
