Clay Travis NFL Opening Game Picks

Alright, the NFL is back – so let’s get to it.

My Seahawks-Patriots Pick For Tonight

I’m taking the Seahawks minus 3.5, and I’m taking the under 44.5. Those are the picks – Seahawks -3.5, under 44.5.

Now, to be fair, you might be out there thinking: “Hey Clay, didn’t you go 2-8-1 on your opening college football weekend picks?”

You are correct. I went 2-8-1. That’s not a good week.

So if you’re sitting there thinking you’re going to fade me tonight, I understand completely. I would not be surprised if I end up doing even worse. But again: Seahawks -3.5, under 44.5.
