2022 Free NFL Picks: Hall Of Fame Game

Welcome to the 2022 NFL season. It is finally back as the Jaguars and Raiders will square off in the Hall of Fame game tonight in Canton, Ohio. If you have never been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, definitely worth a visit, the museum is great. It’s a brand new season and we will be with you every week all the way until the Super Bowl with our picks. You can check my record and all my picks on Tallysight under Steve DeAngelo @FFfaceoff. Last year I was essentially 50% going 114-111 on Sides and Totals combined. This year we will look to hit at least 60%. It’s going to be a great season, let’s have some fun and win some money.

Jacksonville Jaguars Vs. Las Vegas Raiders

(Raiders -2.5, Total 30.5)

Former Jaguars great, Tony Boselli, will be inducted this weekend and that might be the most exciting thing to happen for Jaguars fans as they have decided to essentially rest all starters for tonight. The Raiders have decided to do the same as this is normally the case for the first week of the preseason. The Jaguars will be starting Jake Luton at quarterback and following him up with Kyle Sloter. The Raiders have a little bit more capable quarterback play with Nick Mullens and Jarret Stidham. I base these preseason games a lot on the depth of the quarterback play and the Raiders get the edge, although not by much. There is going to be some horrible quarterback play in this game and that leads me to the Under, which has already dropped nearly three points from the opening line.

With new coaching staffs on each side, and new offenses being run, there will surely be a lot of stalled drives. I would lean the Raiders since they have the quarterback with the most NFL starting experience in Mullens, but the Jags may be flying on some karma and energy with the Boselli induction into the Hall. Who really knows with the side, throw a teaser in there if you want! The Under is the safer pick, buy the half point to 31 for good measure if you are able.

Pick: Under 30.5 Total Points
