5 Best NFL Predictions Against The Spread: Week 1

What 5 NFL games appear to be the best bets and the best picks against the spread going into Week 1 of the 2021 season? Here you go. Enjoy.

3. Seattle Seahawks at Indianapolis Colts

Line: Seattle -3
ATS Pick: Seattle

Just how much do you really believe in Carson Wentz being ready to be terrific?

The Colts might be a home dog, but there are whole lot of parts to this game that just don’t fit.

Russell Wilson and the Seattle passing game are about to go off.

The Colts might have worked to fix the secondary, and they have the ground attack to control the clock and the tempo, but it’ll be bombs away for a Seattle offense that’s going to keep on pushing the big play down the field.

The Seahawk defense might still be a work in progress, but it’ll likely take its chances against Wentz rather than get bashed by Jonathan Taylor and the Colt O.

But it won’t matter if this is any sort of a shootout, and it’s actually better for Seattle if it is.

Turnovers mean everything to this Seattle team. It was 0-5 last season when giving it away two times or more, but There weren’t any giveaways in the season-opener against Atlanta last season, and offensive problems have come late over the last two seasons.

Basically, take Russell over Wentz.
