Eagles -9: The Eagles comes into this game with a renewed sense of purpose. The additions of Terrell Owens and Jevon Kearse are just what the doctor ordered. Look for a revamped offense to push the Giants defense around. Last year the Eagles averaged 23.4 points a game, while the Giants were putting up an average of 15.2 points a game. Look for the Eagles to increase their scoring this year, while the Giants will struggle on offense.
Houston -5: There are several key match-ups in this game: LaDainian Tomlinson versus the Texans defensive line, the Chargers secondary versus the Texans talented receiving corps, and the QBs. Tomlinson will get his yards as he is the best multi-purpose back in the league. The difference maker in this game is that Carr is ready to take the next step. Look for him to break this game open thanks to Domanick Davis and his ability to run the football. Davis may not put up the numbers that Tomlinson does in this game, but it will be enough to allow Carr to open up the passing game. The Texans win this game by a touchdown.
NY Jets -4.5: A healthy Chad Pennington will make a world of difference for the Jets this season. They will go from missing the playoffs last year to a contender in the AFC. Carson Palmer will be an excellent QB in the future, but he has a ways to go. Home field advantage will also play into the Jets covering the spread.
KC +3.0: Denver will be facing the best offense in the NFL. Priest Holmes will be the difference maker in this game, providing the spark that will allow KC to win this game outright.
Vikings -4.5 Best Bet: Randy Moss is coming into this year with an intensity that he has not shown before. Culpepper threw for 25 TDs last year with 11 interceptions. The TDs will be going up this year thanks to Moss playing hard on every down. Eddie George is out of steam, Vinny has the mobility of a rock. With a lack of firepower on offense, Dallas will be hard pressed to score.
