The NFL season is set to kick-off for the 2021 season. Every team has aspirations for the Super Bowl come season’s end and it all starts this week. There is a full slate of games scheduled with the Packers and Saints headlining play.
Green Bay Packers versus New Orleans Saints
The Packers went 13-3 last season and the Saints were 12-4. The Saints enter the season with a +13 to +9 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average up” versus “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Packers are a 1.48 to 2.612 favorite with a line of -4.5. The Scores Predictor gives the Packers the narrowest edge of 29-28 with 68 percent confidence. With an over/under of 50.5 that is a good indication to bet “under”. Go with the Packers to win on the road and cover.
Minnesota Vikings versus Cincinnati Bengals
The Vikings are coming off a disappointing 7-9 season and missed playoffs. Cincinnati brought up the rear in the AFC North with a 4-11-1 record. Minnesota is coming in with “dead” status on the Team Strength Oscillator and +6 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Bengals are “average down” and +15, respectively. The over/under is set at 47.5 and the Scores Predictor has the Vikings winning by the score of 29-25 with 68 percent confidence. The Vikings are a 3.5 point favorite with odds of 1.55 to 2.420. Bet “over” with the Vikings winning and covering.
Philadelphia Eagles versus Atlanta Falcons
Both teams had a very rough 2020 season. The Eagles were 4-11-1 and the Falcons were 4-12, contributing to both entering the season “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +5 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Scores Predictor has the Falcons winning by a 28-20 margin with 90 percent confidence. The 48-point total is very close to the “over/under” of 48.5, which leads me to avoid betting the over/under in this one. The Falcons are a 3.5 point favorite with odds of 1.620 to 2.276. I will go with the Eagles, however, in a road upset.
Pittsburgh Steelers versus Buffalo Bills
The Steelers won the AFC North last season with a 12-4 record and the Bills won the AFC East with a 13-3 mark. The Steelers enter with a +31 to +29 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and the Bills are “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Scores Predictor has the Bills winning in blowout fashion, 36-18 with 71 percent confidence. That falls in line with the line of -8 for the Bills with 1.34 to 3.22 odds. The over/under sits at 48.5, which means betting “over” is a smart play. Go with the Bills to win and cover.
Seattle Seahawks versus Indianapolis Colts
Seattle was once again the cream of the crop in the NFC West last season with a 12-4 record, while the Colts finished second in the AFC South with a record of 11-5. The Colts enter with a large edge of +25 to +10 on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot “versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Seattle is a 2.5 point favorite with odds of 1.67 to 2.18. However, the Scores Predictor has the Colts winning by a 28-23 margin with 67 percent confidence. This is based on a historical statistical model and not what the bookies feel about the contest. The over/under is 49.5. I would avoid the over/under and bet the Colts to prevail at home as the underdog.
