This is installment #3 in the season long series of\u00a0free NFL Pick<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> articles by our experts here at CappersPicks.com. Check back with us all\u00a0NFL Betting<\/strong> season long, and keep on winning those NFL Bets folks!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s keep it going with four more games for the start of the 2010 season.<\/p>\n Sunday, September 12, 1:00 p.m. ET Sooner or later, bettors have to accept that the Patriots dynasty is finished. They haven\u2019t been a powerhouse franchise for a couple of seasons. Now, I\u2019m wondering if we have to go a bit further and realize that the Patriots may not even be a playoff team this year.<\/p>\n Tom Brady is two years removed from his ACL injury, yes, but he\u2019s creeping into his mid-30s. So is Randy Moss. And Wes Welker may not be ready to play in Week 1. The Pats\u2019 stable of running backs features oldies like Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris. Their younger option, Laurence Maroney, lacks toughness and fumbles too much.<\/p>\n The Pats\u2019 solid but unspectacular defense is more about keeping them in games than winning games. If the offense regresses, what will happen? The Bengals provide a tough matchup in Week 1. Terrell Owens adds a new element to the passing game, Cedric Benson is the real deal and the Bengals\u2019 quietly had the NFL\u2019s No. 4 defense last year. They get no respect. They may not win on the road but they can beat the six-point spread.<\/p>\n Pick: Bengals +6<\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday, September 12, 1:00 p.m. ET The Raiders would have a better chance at Tennessee if the matchup came later in the year. First-round pick Rolando McClain looks like he\u2019ll start right away and become the defensive leader at middle linebacker. In theory, he\u2019ll help the Raiders\u2019 run defense, which was 30th<\/sup> in the NFL last year.<\/p>\n But I doubt McClain can make an impact in his first NFL game when he has to face Chris Johnson and Vince Young. The Titans should run wild. This could actually be a shootout, as Jason Campbell could surprise through the air against Tennessee\u2019s ugly pass defense, but I like the Titans to cover. Pick: Titans -7<\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday, September 12, 4:15 p.m. ET This is one of the tougher NFL points spreads around in Week 1. On one hand, we have the Eagles playing at home before a raucous crowd and deploying an aggressive pass rush against a team that struggled to protect its quarterback last year.<\/p>\n On the other, we have a newbie quarterback getting the reins for Philly in Kevin Kolb. He showed last year that he has the potential to be a great starter for the Eagles but he could have some growing pains in the Eagles\u2019 opener. He has a penchant for turnovers and the Packer defense, while not perfect, is loaded with playmakers.<\/p>\n Even on the road, I think superstar Aaron Rodgers will find a way to put points on the board and lead Green Bay to victory.<\/p>\n Pick: Packers -1<\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday, September 12, 4:15 p.m. ET Every year, some team wins our hearts with a shocking Week 1 victory. Could it be the Rams, debuting Sam Bradford at home against a depleted Cardinal team? Probably not. I think Detroit will steal the show in Week 1, to be honest.<\/p>\n Bradford will take his lumps and, even if the Rams find a way to gash the Cardinals, their defense doesn\u2019t look to be better. It\u2019s not even Matt Leinart or Larry Fitzgerald that will hurt them the most; it\u2019s Chris \u201cBeanie\u201d Wells. The Rams had the NFC\u2019s second-worst run defense last year and Wells is poised to break out. I think he\u2019ll put a big hurt on St. Louis. Not everyone will pick Arizona in NFL Week 1 point spreads but I like this one.<\/p>\nCincinnati Bengals @ New England Patriots<\/strong><\/h3>\n
