Fairway’s Football Forecast – NFL Week 1 Underdog Picks And Preview
Identifying NFL Underdog Picks and Bets
We kick off the 2022 NFL season shooting for more touchdowns, birdies and green with our weekly NFL underdog picks. We’re feeling confident off a record-breaking 70% season going 28-12 ATS posting underdog only picks on these pages. That won’t be duplicated here, and a slow start on the Thursday kickoff with the Buffalo Bills burying the home underdog Los Angeles Rams. The Bills were one of a record 10 road favorites on the Week 1 card as we fire away with many plays in our our Week 1 underdog picks.
My labor of love continues for a sixth straight NFL season providing Fairway’s Football Forecast with no tout talk or selling plays through companies which I have turned down numerous times since producing top of the leaderboard results over a decade ago with 8 straight winning NFL seasons. I accept chip-in donations and other contributions for VIP’s who have been following Fairway’s Forecasts for years.
Our 5-year NFL run on these pages is now 130-91 ATS (58.8%) That’s selecting exclusively underdogs (line moves can flip from ‘Dog to favorite and a few selections of PK to -2 priced like underdog).
I add more insight and information you can bet on with the initial underdog picks each week at Offshore Gaming Association. Check out the Week 1 picks and analysis ahead of posting here. I have been contributing to OSGA for years prior to sports betting becoming legal in 2018 in states beyond Las Vegas.
I add more Week 1 updates, insight and sportsbook betting data in my chip-in coverage at Forbes.
Also, I’ll be adding some Prime Time NFL coverage and game insight and analysis with additional information you can bet on for Thursday and Monday Night Football contests at TheLines. That includes Week 1 Bills vs Rams Thursday and Broncos vs Seahawks Monday.

Green Bay at Minnesota
The Vikings (and Falcons) fit a Week 1 division home ‘Dog angle that is 19-4 ATS since 2009 with 16 outright winners. Minnesota could be money in a bounce back season as the offense ignites after the Vikings lead the league with 11 games ‘over’ the total last season. Minnesota also lost more games in unbelievable, excruciating fashion last year. The Vikings beat the Packers at home last season in a thriller 34-31 at this same home ‘Dog price. New coaches and changes for the Vikings, but plenty of firepower on offense and defensive improvement and schemes expected. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers makes stars out of players while setting a high bar. But the departure of WR DaVante Adams to the Raiders and potential absence of WR Allen Lazard (ankle) will put the spotlight on new young receivers. Positive ATS profile – The Vikings are 11-1 ATS in its last 12 games as a home underdog.
Tampa Bay at Dallas
Sunday night in Big D, and recall the Cowboys almost (should have) beat the Bucs on Week 1 last season, but lost as a 10-point underdog 31-29 at Tampa. Both teams dealing with offensive line issues, and these teams appear evenly-matched by most metrics. Bucs and Tom Brady went 0-3 SU/ATS in August. That may not matter, but laying points on the road against a capable team that can pressure on defense and run the ball makes this another ‘Dog to support and bet on the moneyline.
