The first few weeks of the NFL can be tricky for the bettor as teams are coming off a pre-season that was more of an audition for players trying to own a spot on the roster rather than a bon-a-fide look into the true performance of a team. Teams that were active in the off season tend to present a challenge as well for the bettor who is trying to assess if the new acquisitions will have already developed a rapport with their new team in order to have an impact this early in the year. It becomes especially important to research every angle, published and non-publised reports, and trends that could point to a profitable wager. In this article I take a look at one avenue for assessment of this weeks games with Week #1 Historical Trends.
