Dallas(-3)(-120) over New York Giants (1.5*)
- -The Giants get underway with lots of questions at OL, RB, and on last year's 31st ranked defense, just for starters, as they aim to win for the 5th straight time at the home of a fierce rival in a prime time lid lifter . . . Simply put, That ain't happening.

Cincinnati(+3) over Chicago (1*)
- - I'm almost certain a cerebral West Coast offense is not a perfect fit for the Bear's trigger man, but then what exactly is? The Bengals have a complete team that rates them a live dog in an intriguing matchup.

Carolina(+3)(-103) over Seattle (1*)
- - Seattle heads cross country for an early start to their season of Ginormous expectations.

Detroit(-4) over Minnesota (1*)
- - I think both teams have serious question marks, but Detroit gets a tepid nod on getting a temporary leg up on a familiar division foe.

Cleveland(-1)(-115) over Miami (1*)
- - Does Cleveland finally have enough pieces in place to justify being the slimmest of favorites to win a home opener they desperately want? It just seems more likely than not.


Denver was picked by the fewest players (27) of any team in Week #1 of the Hilton NFL contest:

Washington(-3)(-135) over Philadelphia (1.5*)
- - What Nolan Dalla said is right in line with what I've been thinking about this game: " A baffling line. What in the hell are people looking at? This is a MNF game played at Washington, which is supposedly worth three points.. Yet, the line is listed at 3.5, which tells us this would be close to a PICK on a neutral field? Huh? Run that by me again? Eagles come off a horrible 4-12 season with a new head coach who has never been in the pros, with a new (untested) offensive system. He?s playing versus a 10-win team playoff team from last season, with a team some say could win the NFC East. Skins QB Griffin is the NFL?s most exciting player, and even when he was injured, Redskins offense still produced solid numbers and a string of wins. Why is this line not at least Washington -6? Redskins were 5-1 in division play and won 7 of last 8 games last year regular season. Now, they open on MNF. Pretty good spot for the favorite laying a small number. Eagles will eventually improve, but not right out of the gate in first game on the road. " . . . The visitor needs an inspired effort from an awful defense likely to be overextended by a steady dose of snaps and a power running game, and their offense is led by a declining turnover machine under a new system boasting no Pro Bowlers, while on the other side, RGIII coming back tonight energizes the whole Skins franchise, and London Fletcher is a coach on the field for the Redskins defense in the unlikely event Philadelphia starts going all crazy explosive, or even efficient . . . Another strong play.
