The Tailgate went 2-1 in NFL Week 1 bets.

As I predicted on Friday’s podcast:

  • Seattle (-3 1/2) suffocated Carolina
  • Kansas City (-4) crushed Jacksonville

Tune in Friday to this week’s podcast for more NFL best bets!

It’s all about the Road Warriors this week! My NFL Week 1 best bets and reasoning below:

Seattle (-3 1/2) at Carolina

I could see Seattle winning by double digits. They will shut down Carolina and might even score a TD on defense.


Minnesota (+5) at Detroit

Detroit is probably better than Minnesota but not a TD better. Take the Vikings and the points.


Kansas City (-4) at Jacksonville

The Jaguars are a bleepshow. I like Kansas City to come out strong and make a statement on the road with a blowout win.
