The NFL regular season is off and running and we recorded our first Consensus winner of the season. Bobby, Jay and Reggie were all on the Cowboys (+7.5), who managed to stay close and lose by three to the Eagles. There are plenty more games on tap for this weekend, including a game from Brazil tonight featuring the Chiefs vs. Chargers. You can find all of our Week 1 free picks, best bets, consensus picks and teasers in today's newsletter.

Bobby and Jay also had a Consensus winner in Major League Baseball on Thursday with the Phillies over the Brewers.
