The 2022 NFL season is shaping up to be entertaining from start to finish, and you’ll need to identify trends to crush your NFL office pool picks. Underdogs won over 100 games straight-up in 2021, so there are no guarantees on a week-to-week basis when it comes to NFL pool picks. The Cincinnati Bengals sent shockwaves through the NFL last season, reaching the Super Bowl for the first time since 1989. The Bengals finished the regular season 14-7 against the spread, the third-best mark in the NFL. Having a keen eye for identifying key betting trends early is one way to get an advantage in NFL pool picks. If you’re up for it, CBS Sports has the perfect game to keep you locked in all season long.

Get football picks for every game from a proven NFL model
We’ll give you one team to consider backing during the NFL’s opening week. SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Indianapolis Colts will open their season with a comfortable win over the Houston Texans.
Indianapolis added veteran quarterback and former MVP Matt Ryan in the offseason. Ryan has thrown for 59,735 yards and 367 touchdowns in his career and he’s expected to bring stability to an Indianapolis offense that already features Jonathan Taylor, who led the league in rushing last season with 1,811 yards.
The Colts have also dominated the Texans in recent years, winning seven of their last eight meetings against their division-rival. Over the last two games between these two teams, the Colts have outscored the Texans 62-3. SportsLine’s model is projecting that Taylor racks up 100 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Colts win this one over 75 percent of the time. Join a pool now to lock in your picks.
