ANALYSIS: Rookie head coach? Rookie QB? Going up a team that is trending in the right direction, with a MVP caliber QB? I don't really care that the Colts have failed to win a week 1 game in the previous 8 seasons, but they are going to have to wait until 2024 to break that streak. Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars should be able to take care of business and cover the 4.5 points in Indy.

ANALYSIS: We have not seen Matthew Stafford in a real NFL game, regular or preseason, since November 2022. He makes his return and who is he throwing the ball to? Cam Akers had a solid start to the season, but he isn't a running back who can carry a team. Give me Seattle laying the 5 at home.

ANALYSIS: During Week 1 of the last 10 seasons divisional underdogs are 31-12-2 ATS (72%). The Giants had a great 2022 season and did nothing but add weapons to this team in the offseason. I think New York has a great chance to snap Dak Prescott's 10 game winning streak against them. Give me the +3.5 at home for the New York Giants.

ANALYSIS: Butler has his this number in all three games against the Celtics, as well as 5 of his last 6 games. I think he will continue to facilitate the ball tonight against Boston. I would shop around this line, but I think he will certainly have 6+ assists.

ANALYSIS: Jokic has hit this number (42.5) in 7 of his previous 9. Nearly 9 of 9, putting up 42 points/rebounds in the two games that he did not surpass 42.5. He put up 55 combined points/rebounds against the Lakers in Game 1, so I expect him to be able to hit this lower number tonight in Game 2.
