We have some fresh hot picks for you to fade this week. Here’s the deal: I give my top five ATS picks, and will sound intelligent doing so, but make sure you bet the exact opposite of what I say and become a millionaire.
I was glad the Los Angeles Chargers came through for me last week. I even doubled down live betting LAC -20.5. But of course the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans couldn’t cover the spread. Then somehow the Malik Willis-led Green Bay Packers beat the Indianapolis Colts, while the Dallas Cowboys got destroyed at home.
Here’s a look at what I’m thinking this week. As always, credit to the CBS Sports research team.

If we were creating a power rankings list off of two weeks, the Saints may be at No. 1. They registered a statement victory over the Cowboys, in which the Saints scored six touchdowns in their first six drives. The 91 points New Orleans has scored so far is tied for the fourth-most points scored in a team’s first two games in NFL history.
Klint Kubiak has this offense HUMMING, as the Saints have scored on 16 of 21 drives this season, while Alvin Kamara has clearly returned to form. His 290 yards from scrimmage lead the NFL, as do his five total touchdowns. Now, they get to return home and host a team coming off an embarrassing loss on a short week.
Will the Eagles be able to bounce back after Saquon Barkley quite literally dropped the ball, while the defense allowed Kirk Cousins to waltz down the field no problem with the game on the line? Jalen Hurts will again be without A.J. Brown, so if the Saints defense can contain him as a runner, they will move to 3-0.
The pick: Saints -2.5
Projected score: Saints 28-23
Which picks can you make with confidence, and which three must-see…
