Greg Cote published his Week 1 NFL selections on Thursday, adding another chapter to the Miami Herald’s long‑running “Friday Page” feature. The column, which appears each Friday during the NFL season, offers Cote’s analysis of match‑ups, player form and betting angles for the opening slate of games.
The Friday Page began in 1991, a year that saw Dan Marino still performing at a Pro Bowl level, the Grateful Dead topping the list of highest‑grossing music tours, and a seven‑year‑old LeBron James playing on the streets of Akron. Those cultural touchstones were cited in the launch announcement to illustrate the era in which the NFL picks tradition was born.

Cote, a veteran football analyst, has been the voice of the Friday Page since its inception, curating weekly forecasts that blend statistical insight with on‑ground observations. While the specific teams and spreads for this week’s picks are not disclosed here, the column’s release signals to bettors, fantasy players and casual fans that the season’s analytical dialogue is officially underway.
Readers of the Miami Herald and its syndicate partners, including The Brunswick News, rely on the Friday Page to gauge early‑season trends and to inform wagering decisions. The column’s longevity underscores the newspaper’s commitment to sports coverage that goes beyond game recaps, offering a predictive edge that has become a staple of the NFL offseason calendar.
Looking ahead, Cote’s weekly predictions will continue to shape conversation across social media, sports betting platforms and fan forums, reinforcing the Friday Page’s role as a barometer for early‑season expectations.
