NFL Week 1 Top Picks
Cohen, who watched all 16 games in the NFL’s opening weekend, is high on his prediction for the Indianapolis Colts to beat the Houston Texans 29-26 as one of the big upsets at home in Week 1. Indianapolis is excited to see young quarterback Anthony Richardson back on the field this season after his rookie season was cut short after just four games. Richardson has shown potential in his limited playing time, terrorizing opposing defenses with his dual-threat ability.
His backup will be a high-powered rushing attack spearheaded by running back Jonathan Taylor, who will play behind an elite offensive line that returns all five starters. Indianapolis has the means to control the tempo and clock, keeping the ball away from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and allowing the Colts to stay fresh defensively. The Colts are 1-9 in Week 1 since 2014, but Cohen expects a different outcome this year. You can see his Week 1 football score predictions at SportsLine.
