Week 1 of the 2018 season is officially here, and we’ve got all of the NFL picks and score predictions you need to survive the return of football.

Can you believe it’s finally here? After seven long months of eager anticipation, the 2018 NFL season is set to kick off. In a few short days, we’ll have the opportunity to watch every team’s 22 best players hit the field as the journey towards Super Bowl 53 begins.

It’s been a rather interesting offseason. We saw some blockbuster trades, a couple of franchises imploded, and there was more drama than grown men should be involved in. Now that the preseason is in the books and all 53-man rosters have (for the most part) been set, it’s time for the fun part.

Yes, I’m referring to hard-hitting, bone-rattling gridiron action and the relentless stream of flags that now comes with it.

For now, let’s focus on the task at hand. In case you missed it, that’s putting together picks and score predictions for Week 1’s slate of games.

With that in mind, here are my picks and score predictions for all 16 games of Week 1. Just remember that I assume no responsibility if you choose to place wagers on my picks — that’s your decision, not mine. Don’t try to pin your poor financial decisions on me.
