2026 NFL Week 1: Five Things We Learned From Sunday's Games

Jonathan Impemba separates the Week 1 results that matter from the ones that just made the highlight package. Chicago's offense looks like a genuine problem, DJ Moore finally has a WR1 role in Buffalo, and the usage shift in San Francisco's backfield is the kind of thing that quietly reshapes weekly projections. He also makes the case for why Drake London and Kyle Pitts owners should sit tight.

TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

MLB HR PICK
Matt Olson (ATL)
To Hit a Home Run (+395)
We hit yesterday's free newsletter bonus pick in walk-off fashion, but let's make this one less of a sweat. We saw multiple Braves homer last night, but not the chalkiest name, and now they get Shota Imanaga's HR issues. This may be lefty vs. lefty, but Imanaga's .241 ISO allowed to southpaws pairs perfectly with Olson's .242 ISO vs. fellow lefties, so we're locking this one in.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
Bobby Witt Jr. (KC)
To Steal a Base (+267)
He's the gift that keeps on giving, right? A .351 wOBA with 25 stolen bases against righties, including one that cashed for us last night? Now he faces Cristian Javier who's allowed six stolen bases over a limited 55.2 innings this season, and catcher Yainer Diaz who has a 21-percent caught-stealing rate over 56 attempts. We're riding the wave until it breaks.
