Football - Week 1 Bet Guide

The first full weekend of football is upon us and it starts on Thursday night!  For these full weeks, the model does not recommend betting on all games, but focuses on the ones with the highest confidence.  I will be sharing that list of games, the money line picks, and the picks against the spread for all of them.  Any games not listed could have been excluded by the model for any number of reasons.
