 5) Baltimore (+3) at Tampa Bay 
                                odds  Ravens’ fans are anxious 
                                to see quarterback Steve McNair play his first 
                                regular season game in a Baltimore uniform. It 
                                is the job of the very average Ravens’ offensive 
                                line to keep McNair upright and healthy all season. All eyes with also be on 
                                Tampa Bay quarterback, Chris Simms. Simms enters 
                                his first season as the undisputed starter, and 
                                he needs to step up his play to ensure this is 
                                a playoff team. Tampa was 6-2 at home last season.

                                Spread Ravens (+3)  4) Atlanta (+6) at Carolina odds This is a tough first test 
                                for the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback, Michael 
                                Vick is still learning the West Coast offense, 
                                and he does not figure to have a lot of time in 
                                the pocket this week. If Atlanta is to win, it 
                                might have to be on the legs of Vick. The Panthers are a legitimate 
                                Super Bowl contender and the favorites (9:2) to 
                                win the NFC along with Seattle and Dallas. Atlanta 
                                has had problems with their run defense, so expect 
                                a heavy load from Carolina running back, DeShaun 
                                Foster. Week 1 NFL 
                                Point Spread Falcons (+6) 3) Cincinnati (+2.5) at Kansas 
                                City odds The big question everyone 
                                wants to know about this game is the status of 
                                quarterback, Carson Palmer. Palmer played in the 
                                last two pre-season games, and he looked good, 
                                with no apparent after-effects for his knee. Kansas City is one of the 
                                toughest road venues in the NFL, as evidenced 
                                by the Chiefs 7-1 mark at home last year. They 
                                will try to establish the running game with Larry 
                                Johnson, but heavy turnover on the offensive line 
                                makes that more difficult. Week 
                                1 NFL Point Spread Bengals (+2.5) 2) Dallas (+2.5) at Jacksonville 
                                odds  Dallas is always an interesting 
                                team to watch because of the presence of Coach 
                                Bill Parcells. Now with the Terrell Owens saga, 
                                it automatically switches to “must-see tv.” 
                                Owens will play this week, after missing most 
                                of the pre-season with a hamstring injury. Jacksonville very quietly 
                                went 12-4 last year, and they are one of the toughest 
                                teams at home, 6-2 in 2005. They did lose receiver 
                                Jimmy Smith from an offense that already wasn’t 
                                very explosive, and this is a tough first test 
                                for them, even in Jacksonville. Week 
                                1 NFL Point Spread Cowboys (+2.5) 1) Indianapolis (+3) at NY Giants 
                                odds  This game is otherwise dubbed 
                                as the “Battle of the Mannings” as 
                                it pits Indianapolis’ Peyton versus the 
                                Giants’ Eli. The Manning brothers are used 
                                to competing in the backyard during basketball 
                                and wiffle ball games, but not on the gridiron. This game is the first Sunday 
                                Night game televised by NBC Sports. It is also 
                                the first chance to see the Indianapolis offense 
                                without Edgerrin James, and whether their passing 
                                attack starts to suffer when defenses do not respect 
                                the running game as much. Colts’ kicker 
                                Adam Vinatieri is questionable with a foot injury.
