Week 1 NFL: Top parlay picks from proven computer model

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NFL game 10,000 times and has crushed human experts on a consistent basis. 

This model is up over $7,000 for $100 players on its top-rated NFL picks since its inception four years ago. It absolutely nailed its top-rated NFL picks in 2018-19, finishing the season on a sizzling 16-6 run. For the year, it went 30-15 on all top-rated picks (20-8 against the spread), extending its two-year run to a strong 78-49. 

The model ranked inside the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch for the third straight year on straight-up NFL picks and beat over 96 percent of CBS Sports office pool players. Anyone who has followed it is WAY UP. 

Now it has simulated every snap of Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season and has revealed its best three-team and 16-team parlay picks. The three-team parlay could lead to a strong 6-to-1 return.

One part of the three-team parlay we'll give away: the model says the Rams (-2.5) cover on the road against the Panthers. Quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is expected to play for Carolina, but his mobility could be limited against the defending NFC champions. The model has the Rams covering in almost 60 percent of simulations, making it one of its strongest picks of the week. Confidently lock that in as a key part of any Week 1 NFL parlay. 

The model also has identified two other extremely strong picks that NEED to be in your three-team parlays, including a road team that's a must-back. It's also made the call on every NFL spread pick in Week 1, so you ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any kind of NFL parlay. 

So which teams should you back against the spread in Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season? And what are the optimal three-team and 16-team parlays? ... Join SportsLine here to see which teams cover the spread, all from the model that has returned over $7,000 on its top-rated picks!
