Justin Herbert in addition to two of his pass-catchers and bringing it back with Tyreek Hill will not be inexpensive, but with the highest total(51 )and a tight point spread (LAC -3 ), this game has the best chance to be a shootout, and there’s more than enough worth to surround that core stack with enough quality to make it worthwhile.Value plays abound: Deon Jackson working as the lead back in Indy($4,100 on DraftKings), Marvin Mims Jr. and Tutu Atwell stepping into beginning roles in their respective offenses at the$ 3,000 minimum are beginning to shape a stars and scrubs approach to roster building this week.Getting contrarian: When the basic build is to gravitate to the cheapest, most glaring worth plays and pay up for studs, getting different is as easy as staying in the midrange with players like Rachaad White($5,500), Deebo Samuel($5,500)and Courtland Sutton($5,200).

Erin Dolan’s’Dolan Out Winners’ Is Justin Herbert your next NFL MVP? He definitely has an opportunity and offers value. Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Editor’s Picks 2 Associated Justin Herbert to win MVP(+950 ): If Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are able to remain healthy, Herbert can put up big numbers like he performed in 2021, breaking Chargers season records for passing yards(5,014)and passing goals(38). Plus, Kellen Moore takes over as offending organizer.(Side note: circle Week 6, Dallas Cowboys at the Chargers

• on MNF). Moore led the NFL’s finest offense in 2021 with Dallas and must have the ability to help Herbert return to putting up big numbers.Cardinals UNDER 4.5 wins: Difficult year to be a Cardinals fan. The

• Cardinals are not favored in any games posted for this upcoming season. Arizona has the lowest win total of any team at 4.5, coming down from 5.5 wins a year back.

• The Cardinals could easily go under their win overall with a novice head coach, novice offensive and defensive organizers and a

• novice basic supervisor. Plus, Kyler Murray is coming off an ACL injury.Minnesota Vikings to win NFC North( +285): The Vikings won 13 games last season, albeit they were 11-0 in one-score games. Sure, Minnesota is going to see regression, but by just how much? The Vikings will remain in contention, specifically with the top wideout in the game. Justin Jefferson could extremely well have the most receiving yards in the league(you can bet this at 6-1). He led the league with 1,809 receiving backyards in 2022 and doesn’t reveal indications of slowing under Kirk Cousins.Read everything about Dolan

‘s winners and recommendations headinginto the season here.Anita Marks ‘NFL Confidence selects Steelers +2.5 vs. San Francisco 49ers: Kenny Pickett will shine in his 2nd season, and a healthy TJ Watt will bring

• this Steelers defense back to prominence. Brock Purdy is still recuperating from his elbow injury, and the Steelers have actually looked great in the preseason.Jaguars -5 at Colts: The Colts haven’t win a Week 1 game since 2013– when Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”was at the top of the charts– and that is exactly what the Jags will be doing to Anthony Richardson in his NFL launching. With extremely little college experience, versus substandard competition(beyond one season at Florida ), it will be difficult sledding for Richardson this season.Seattle Seahawks -5 vs. Rams: The Rams offered their soul to win a Super Bowl and are now are seeing the opposite. Cooper Kupp is out, and Matthew Stafford will struggle against an improved Seahawks defense. Geno Smith begins his MVP campaign.New York Giants +3.5 vs. Cowboys: The Giants were proficient at covering the spread last season, and the team only got better this offseason. The addition of TE Darren Waller takes the Giants offense to a new level, if he is available to play(questionable). If he can not, this choice may change.
