Was just checking the odds on this weekends games. Denver is a 9 point favorite over Baltimore.

But for the NFCE games this week, each home team is favored by only 3 points. Which means the odds makers are basically calling it even in both games.

I think Dallas FINALLY gets a win over the G-Men in AT&T Stadium. Giants are 4-0 at AT&T, but Dallas is 6-0 versus NYG in season opening games. And if there is any team in more injury trouble then the Cowboys, its the Giants. Deihl and Bass will probably not play. And they are dinged up in the offensive backfield and the defensive secondary.

Skins win at home over Philly. But I am interested to see a couple of things in this game.

1. How will the Shanny's use RG3? Will they try and protect him more? Did not see Griffin dump passes out of bounds last season when under duress, he usually ran for the sticks.

2. Want to see how the Eagles pace their offense. Chip Kellys offense at OSU took an average of just over 20 seconds per play. That is several seconds faster than the fastest in the NFL last season (Patriots).
