I was born in Philadelphia and lived most of my life there until I decided I couldn't take the coldness. I also have season tickets for the Eagles. Just FYI the air is extremely humid which causes the cold to go straight through your clothes right to your body. The wind chill factor will make a 32 degree temperature reading feel like it's somewhere in the low teens depending on how fast the wind gusts are. The stadium is next to the water where the Delaware river and Schuykill River meet. It will be extremely cold for all of the players playing this game. The players legs will start to throb with numbness. I have worn 3 layers of socks 3 layers of pants and 6 layers of shirts to these cold games at LFF and it only helps a little bit.

Tampa time of possession and 3rd down conversion rate are terrible. I can't back this team in this spot.

That is the best explanation I have seen so far bol |

All 3 starting tight ends for Houston are doubtful, and the long list of injured players all rest on the offensive side of the ball (with the exception of Cushing). Houston has done very well against the Bengals in recent years, but they literally played with no energy last game and were completely dominated on both sides of the ball. I'm sure that missing the last preseason game and having a lot to deal with the hurricane cleanup and relief took a lot out of them. I really don't see them getting a Auden burst of energy by traveling almost halfway across the country for a Thursday game after taking a pounding at the hands of the Jags. The Texans secondary played average at best. The Bengals secondary played pretty well (with the exception of the blown coverage on the Maclin TD) and they get Pacman back this week off of suspension. |

I def think the redskins will win in Houston. The Redskins seem to lose when they are favored by small margins.
Traditionally, the Bears and Steelers roll at home on opening Sunday. I like Dallas and Tampa to upset the 49ers and Panthers respectively in close games (both teams win by 3). I like the Eagles to blow out the Jags. The jags have a serious lack of depth on offense (particularly the WR position), and while the eagles D isn't great, I think the jags won't be able to catch up with the eagles Offense.

I've been reading a lot of posts about this game, and I am noticing that no one has mentioned that the eagles are 4-1 on the road this year. They are a much worse team at home. With that being said I think their defense has played better over the course of the last 3 weeks despite losing 2 of 3. My opinion is that the public really thinks the defense is as poor a unit as they were earlier this year. I think the eagles win this game outright without Rodgers. They need to keep the NFC east interesting and competitive so I'm looking for Dallas to lose and the eagles to win.

Dolphins should win by 7. Cameron Wake is a problem for opposing teams. Miami's offense will put up points this year.

The chargers are playing on even less rest than the Eagles, flying 5 hours across the country playing a game which is essentially at 10 am for them against a team that is ready to sprint for 60 minutes if necessary. I really see a lot of value in taking the eagles here. I do not see the eagles turning over the ball early, and even if San Diego is able to keep close with the eagles through the first half, all of the aforementioned will set in the longer the game goes and the eagles will pull away. Eagles win 44-27.

I really like the Chiefs here. To me this is the type of game where you take the favorite. The Chiefs defensive line is quite formidable, and will pressure Romo all day. I do believe the cowboys will put up some points on Sunday, however they will have an extremely hard time going into Arrowhead stadium and the sea of red fans. Andy Reid has their team playing error free football right now, and I expect that to carry over into this weeks matchup. I do believe that Andy Reid has a hard time adjusting to opposing team's game plans when behind early in a game, but he now he has inherited a very good defense in KC. Reid also has experience and success in facing Dallas twice a year with an overall record of 17-12 against the boys. I predict the Chiefs win by 7, 31-24

Jason Peters is back and looks like he hasn't missed a step. I do not see the offensive line being much of an issue for the Eagles. I think turnovers may come into play for the eagles playmakers, but I do feel like chip Kelly's offense will be overall solid and will wear on Washington as the game continues. I think the redskins will try to control the game with Morris and Helu, and try to limit griffin's output. The eagles defense is not good, but chip will use his offense in a way to try to control washington's offense. The eagles have the best 3 rb tandem in the nfl and will grind the clock down if faced with a lead late in the game. The eagles were unable to adjust during the Andy Reid era, because of his lack to change strategy when his gamelan failed. Chip Kelly prides himself on being able to exploit the weakness of his opponents. I predict the eagles win in a shoot out 37-31.

Philadelphia is my pick. RG III will be rusty, Eagles special teams will be greatly improved, and Washington's defense will have trouble with handling Chip Kelly's offense. This game will probably be a high scoring affair with the eagles winning by anywhere between 3-10 points 37-31 my prediction

Seattle +3 looks like a trap to me. Line has barely moved since it opened.

Morris and Helu all day. Washington's defense is horrible. This game figures to be a shootout most likely, but rg iii will not be in regular season form in week 1. Whereas I believe that Washington can win by 7, I think it is more likely to be a closer game, and I think the eagles have an excellent chance at winning by more than a fg. No one has seen chip's offense at full blast yet, and they will be moving much faster than Washington.

Any time I see a road favorite of -10 or more I automatically lean towards taking the home dog. Last time I remember seeing this situation, I saw NO -10.5 against SEA in the 2011 wildcard game, I went with SEA. If I bet this game in a parlay, the only bet I would MAYBE place with NE would be a reverse teaser.
