15 predictions for NFL Week 1: Upset picks, fantasy sleepers, projected stat lines and more (Walder predicts three stat lines - Aidan Hutchinson, Edge, Detroit Lions: 2.0 sacks, 7 pressures, 25% pass rush win rate.  I'm already extremely bullish on Hutchinson, who led my seasonlong sack projections. And he's set up extremely well for a lightning-quick start.  The Lions are seven-point favorites over the Saints, which means there's a high likelihood New Orleans will be behind and forced into must-pass situations. Quarterback Tyler Shough took sacks at a high 8.3% rate last season, and Hutchinson should have favorable matchups against left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. Both tackles were well below average in pass block win rate last season.):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49872076/week-1-predictions-upsets-fantasy-sleepers-stats-2026
