In the comments, you can share your picks, praise this display of football prescience or spew some vitriol, within certain boundaries. Remember this game? If you're a Broncos fan, you probably spent the last seven months trying to forget.

Earlier in the week, I was pretty confident that the Broncos would take this one, but John Fox won't have Champ Bailey in the secondary this week, in all likelihood. Throw in the Von Miller suspension, and Joe Flacco could land a few deep strikes just to troll fans further.

Peyton Manning in in season openers through his career. I think he'll be on Friday morning, but you can take Baltimore to cover the spread with confidence. I am looking forward to what Mike Pettine, the Bills' defensive coordinator, can do with this group. Unfortunately, he is not gifted with magic heeling powers that would get Jairus Byrd and Stephon Gilmore on the field this week. You don't have a chance against New England with a depleted secondary.

That line seems low, considering how many pundits have Seattle as a Super Bowl pick. Traveling from the West Coast for a 1 p. Expect that to change this year. More importantly, this game has the potential to produce some burning hot sports takes. I'm giddy just thinking about some crusty newspaper guy sharpening his pencil to juxtapose Cam Newton with Russell Wilson. A three-point edge for the home team is essentially an even line.

So does that mean the Bears and the Bengals are on equal footing? Uh, no. We spent the better part of August making the Bengals a darling pick for the postseason. They have a tough defense and an offense loaded with weapons. But the Bears and the Bengals have something in common: unlovable quarterbacks. So much hope on the field with these two teams. Hope and desperation. Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland is hoping that he can be the one exception among teams that spent big in the offseason only to flop.

But a game against Cleveland's front seven ought to be a good reminder that he forgot about getting a left tackle. The Browns finally have something on the horizon, if only the owner can escape federal indictment. I get the sense that we're about to witness history. The Raiders are in bad shape, recovering from years of mismanagement. In light of the Matt Flynn trade, we can't be percent sure that the post-Al Davis era will be any better.

Are we going to see an team this year? Of course, naysayers will always argue that a coin toss or some zoo animal will be able to do just as well predicting a Thursday night football score, but those are true flukes.

Computer picks have a basis in fact and stats. It's just a question of finding the right mix of data and math. But don't forget to weigh handicapping factors that you believe are relevant and important, like how an offensive line will hold up against the pass rush of the opposing defense or just how strong Josh Allen's passing game is.

If you pinpoint that perfect mix, you should be able to find edges and advantages that you can exploit at the sportsbook window each Sunday or Monday or Thursday.

Best of luck with your NFL betting this season. No, as nice as that would be, unfortunately NFL computer picks do not always guarantee a winning wager at your favorite NFL betting site online.
