Week 1 NFL picks for Patriots vs. Bengals
Before you watch Sunday’s Bengals vs. Patriots game, you need to check out the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has generated more than $7,000 in gains for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season with an incredible 181-129 run on top-rated NFL picks dating back to the 2017 season. It’s also on a 35-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.
For Bengals vs. Patriots, the model is picking Cincinnati to cover the spread. Last season showed how much the Bengals’ success depends on Burrow being healthy, and bouncing back after last year’s disappointing season. It’s also likely that Ja’Marr Chase will suit up, even in a limited capacity, after missing training camp due to a contract dispute, which will give Cincinnati even more motivation at home.
The Patriots are in a very different boat. They have a first-year head coach and a depleted roster. Mayo is also playing with Brissett, who is 1-2 against the Bengals in his career. Rahmondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson can handle the workload against a Bengals team that ranked 26th against the run last season, but that’s not enough to prevent Cincinnati from challenging the NFL betting odds at home. You can stream the game here.
