Don't expect the win because the defense won't be very good.
Progress to me looks like:
SQB 100+ rush yards, 50+ rec yards 1TD
Jones 2 TDs passing, 250+ yards
Everything else doesn't matter. We know what we are this season.

Eggs and Bacon this morning, glass of orange juice. Into some snack plates later today of assorted cheeses and crackers and veggies. Possibly some fine pepperoni slices. Crack a beer around noon. Not a weak beer either, I'm talking a nice bourbon barrel aged stout as a sipper. Fire up the overpriced chicken wings marinating in my homemade BBQ sauce so they are ready for 1pm. Roll through the 1pmers / red zone/ with a couple IPAs to wash down the wings. Turn into a maniac 4:25pm. I might even break out a jersey for week 1. Possibly my crisp authentic Justin Tuck. Then, unfortunately, place my head in my hands slumping down shaking my head by 4:45-5pm mumbling to myself "here we go again"... Go Giants Game day is upon us Hungover, just started with bfast tacos and a mimosa. Wine and snacks throughout the day followed by a healthy pasta bowl type thing my wife makes.

Hungover, just started with bfast tacos and a mimosa. Wine and snacks throughout the day followed by a healthy pasta bowl type thing my wife makes. Good wine, good food, happy, normalcy . . . what could possibly derail a great day? Well, since you asked….I have a confession to make. I feel really dirty. I have $200 on the Eagles winning by 4 or more and ~$800 that they’ll just win. That’s enough money for me to be cheering like hell for the Eagles The good news for the rest of you is that 90% of the time I’m this confident about a bet I lose. The line seemed almost too good to be true, like free money, although it is up to Eagles -5.5 now. *Oh! And more significant than losing the money would be the cowgirls winning which I think they’ll do. It’s a lose lose situation. A decent amount of their fans down here think they’ll lose, so if they don’t it’s expected but if they do then the annual hype train will roll on and they’ll be yelling Super Bowl.

To be honest I'm very amped up. It's not just because its our season opener, its because I do see real change. I sense synergy between Kafka and Daboll. Theres enough weaponry to give defenses fits--lets start today. LETS GO!

I think the Giants finally find a way to win a season opener. I think they have to score more than 20 to win this one and I think the offense moves the ball and puts points on the board. The defense makes just enough stops and manufactures enough of a pass rush to get it done....
Giants 27-23

One advantage the Giants have today is the Titans don't really know what to plan for.
I'm watching the 9ers @ Bears - wow Fields looks putrid. We should be thankful for what we've got for sure.
