I don't usually do this before the deadline. But I'm confident.

No matter the final spreads

Patriots
Bengals
Cardinals ( hesitate)
Cowboys
Vikings

Personally have you 4-1.

Wish you the best, hope you go 5-0 because i'm not even playing the Pats spread.

We have a good chance. There are around 10 covers members in the contest. CH Ballers (  last years winner )  Vanzack (7th place two years ago) Maybe this is the year for covers.

I agree with you on Min, Dallas, Bengals. Leaning towards Pats because I think Steelers are missing too many impact players and Pats have the narrative.

Cardinals I am not sold. I think NO might be the right side. CJ Spiller might play week 1 and Brandon Coleman could make an impact a the big receiver. Cooks might completely breakout. I need to look more into this. I don't think Cards are that good tbh. I know they have John Brown and a 2nd RB in David Johnson to rotate with Ellington.

I have 2 entries this year (qprhoops1 and qprhoops2).

I still am having conversations with myself on how to handle 2 entries.  There are many different strategies and havent decided how to play it yet.

Will post my picks when lines are out tomorrow.

I know one game that will be on both of my entries is Baltimore.

I cannot figure out why Denver is getting so much respect.  They have one of the worst O Lines in the NFL, an aging QB who needs protection to be effective, and a suspect running game behind said O Line.

The defense should be very good - but a new scheme might take time to mature.  Not to mention a new head coach.

Baltimore has arguably the best O Line in football, and should be able to pound the broncos in to submission.

The Broncos are going to be a fade team for me until they prove me wrong - which admittedly might be in week 1 - but for now Baltimore is the best play I have for week 1.

CJ Anderson is arguably a top tier RB.

You asked if I didn't like NE... It's not that I don't like it... it's that out of all the ones you posted the only ones I'm not playing are NE and CIN. The reason I'm not playing Cincy is simple... I just don't believe in them on the road yet even against an overmatched opponent. However, if it were SuperContest I would do it. Does that make sense? Like... if I were trying to contribute to a winning SEASON I would be picking the Bengals. If it's a straight bet... not so much. 

NE is playing a very good Offense in Pitt, even if they are missing Bryant, Bell and Pouncey, the Steelers will be able to score points. Giving seven in a matchup like this on opening night? You will probably win, but if I were to pick a big fav I'd be more inclined to pick GB against a Bears team. My reasoning is.. I want the team that is going to cover (both can) and have a chance to run away with it. I think Philly is going to blow out Atl. It's going to take time for that team to turn it around and the Eagles are so unique. I know that Julio is going to burn the Eagles secondary a lot, but the Eagles are just flat going to outscore them in my opinion. The Eagles will be able to run the ball, but the Falcons have not had ANY success running the ball in preseason. 

Just my 2, I think the Pats < Eagles or Packers. 

Also let me just tell ya, I think the Cardinals are a great play. The Saints secondary is pencil thin right now. The Saints will score some points, but their DBs are just terrible against the deep pass and Rob Ryan is 0-blitzing too much to have terrible DBs. I see a lot of PIs from an undisciplined bunch of young guys. I like Stanley Jean Baptiste, but not against Larry Fitzgerald, regardless of age.

Ravens are one of the better plays on the board. Fairly good knowing good situations to play them and this is one of them.
