Each week this season in the NFL, the Big Nasty Athletic Dept. brings you its own projected lines for each NFL game. Our lines are based on our own power rating system to be adjusted accordingly as the season progresses. Comparing our lines with that of the sportsbook, should place a better perspective on the value of a bet, and whether or not the current lines are inflated.
The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. power ratings take into account critical NFL statistics including line play, offseason improvements or downgrades (not acquisitions or departures), turnover differential, and gut feeling. These power ratings will be a heavy point of emphasis this season for our weekly NFL SpreadSHREDDER.
Minnesota (+3.5) at New Orleans
The remaining week one lines will be released in the this week.
