Here's a sneak peak at why I'm predicting the Baltimore Ravens to cover the betting spread.
"While there's a solid argument to back the Colts, I don't trust either prospective No. 1 to cover the betting spread - particularly since Cooper Rush is a steady, proven backup. Rush went 4-4 in his starts after replacing the injured Dak Prescott last season, a solid return given the Dallas Cowboys' 24th-ranked defensive DVOA."

Here's why I'm predicting the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread:
Joe Burrow should get extended time under center as Zac Taylor does everything in his power to avoid another sluggish start to the regular season. While Nick Sirianni hasn't revealed his plans for the preseason opener, they probably won't include Jalen Hurts, or most of his starters, for that matter. That should provide MVP odds contender Burrow and his offense enough of an advantage to separate themselves early.
Here's a sneak peak at why I'm predicting the Seattle Seahawks to cover the betting spread.
"If the Seahawks can survive the potential early storm, they should be able to keep it close enough to cover. Third-string quarterbacks and rookies, Jalen Milroe and Cam Miller, are expected to get some reps. You never know how it will pan out in the NFL, but Milroe has the advantage entering their first kick of the NFL can. All things considered, I have faith in the Seahawks keeping things close at home."
