NFL: Upset of the Week - Week 1; Back to Football!!

[PanthersPens62]

Yes, it is back and better than ever by hugely popular demand!!! As a reminder & for those who may be new, the rules are very simple. The team you pick must be at least a one point underdog at time of kickoff (so if you pick early in the week like I do, & your pick is no longer an underdog by kickoff, you will need to re-pick). And again, it does not matter whether YOU believe your pick or someone else's pick is an upset....if its an underdog by at least 1, it is fair game. That said......good luck to all!

This week I'm going South of the border in the 1st NFL game ever played in Brazil. Last year, the Eagles cratered down the stretch, while the Pack were red hot. I'm counting on these trends to continue. First official pick for the season is:

Packers over Eagles

Eagles favored by 1 & 1/2

Last season: 8-10

Last Season's champs: @Marc the Habs Fan & yours truly with a not so sparkling 8-10 record.

Week 1 is always the hardest, considering we don't know who would have a let down and who might surprise. With that said I'm surprised Dallas are underdogs against Cleveland:

Week 1: Dallas over Cleveland (Browns favored by 2.5)

 

[LT]

Week 1: Ravens over Chiefs (KC -3)

 

[Blitzkrug]

Week 1: Commanders over Bucs (-3.5)

Let's f***ing go!!! One of my favorite times of the year on HF.

W1- Steelers over Falcons. I might change this to Giants over Vikings later though.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Jags

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Jets not getting humiliated on MNF would be the greatest upset in sports history

 

[Romang67]

W1 - Cowboys over Browns (-2.5).

Fully expecting Watson to go out there and look just as bad as he has consistently since 2020.

Week 1: Cowboys over Browns

A rusty Deshaun with OL questions? I don't think that's a good combo against a team that in the regular season wins most of its games.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Week 1: Packers over Eagles

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Week 1: Colts over Texans

 

[Unholy Diver]

W1 - Cowboys +2.5 over Browns

 

[BostonBob]

Even though it's a road game I find it a bit surprising that Dallas is a 2.5 point underdog to Cleveland. Who knows which version of Deshaun Watson will show up for this game ???? So I'll gladly take the Cowboys.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Week 1: Broncos (+6) over Seahawks

 

[TNT87]

Week 1: Pittsburgh over Atlanta

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Week 1: Giants over Vikings

 

[pockets]

Week 1: Packers over Eagles

 

[Pestilence]

Week 1: Titans over Bears

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Cowboys over Browns

 

[GKJ]

A flip here I think. Rams over the Lions.

Week 1: Giants over Vikings

I didn't play last season so are we using the point spread here or just straight up winners. For example - I picked Dallas to beat Cleveland who is a 2.5 point favorite. If Dallas loses by only 2 points do I win or lose ????

It has to be a straight up win.

It has to be a straight up win.

That's what I thought but just wanted to make sure.
