Watching Daunte Culpepper complete only 18-of-37 pass attempts and get intercepted twice for the Dolphins on Thursday night had to make the Vikings feel a bit better about turning over the starting QB job to Brad Johnson this season. Minnesota almost made the playoffs after turning to Johnson last year, and they're hoping his strong run can continue. Johnson's never been flashy, but he showed last season he could do the job.

Mark Brunell isn't flashy either, but he'll get the call as the Redskins' starting QB this season. Washington went 10-6 and slipped into the playoffs last year, but they'll be in tough to duplicate that feat in a division with the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles. And no, the preseason doesn't count for anything, but the Redskins' dismal performance over the exhibition slate was concerning. Also concerning? Clinton Portis' shoulder injury.

Bettors and oddsmakers like the Redskins' chances of starting the season with a 1-0 record. Washington opened as a 6-point home favorite in this contest, a line which has since fallen to 4 points in the Redskins' favor (likely due to Portis' injury). The game's total opened at 37 points, but it also slipped over the course of the week (to 35 points).

Here is the official Week 1 injury report for the Vikings:

Mewelde Moore RB Probable Week 1 (knee)
Fred Smoot CB Probable Week 1 (ribs)

Here is the official Week 1 injury report for the Redskins:

Shawn Springs CB Doubtful Week 1 (abdomen)
Clinton Portis RB Questionable Week 1 (shoulder)
Renaldo Wynn DE Probable Week 1 (ankle)

The Vikings have another tough matchup in Week 2, as they play host to the Carolina Panthers at The Metrodome. The Redskins have a road game at rival Dallas next week.

The Chargers parted ways with former starting QB Drew Brees in the offseason, which means San Diego's fortunes are now in the hands of Philip Rivers. The young QB was inconsistent in the preseason, but he'll need to get it together quickly if the Chargers hope to make it into the AFC playoffs. At the very least he'll still be able to hand off to RB LaDainian Tomlinson and toss short passes to TE Antonio Gates to move the ball.

Oakland, on the other hand, is hoping to utilize the deep ball in their offense, with new starting quarterback Aaron Brooks tossing long to Randy Moss. Only one half of that combination is exciting for Raiders fans, with Brooks still a big-time question mark after years of mediocrity in New Orleans. Oakland head coach Art Shell has been away from the league for quite awhile, and it remains to be seen whether he can get the job done.

The Chargers were set as 2.5-point road favorites on the opening line for this contest, but that line has increased to 3 points over the course of the week. The game's total opened at 44 points, and it has dropped only slightly (to 43 points) since being posted.

Here is the official Week 1 injury report for the Chargers:

Aaron Shea TE Doubtful Week 1 (back)
Leander Jordan T Questionable Week 1 (neck)
Ryan Krause TE Questionable Week 1 (hamstring)
Cletis Gordon CB Probable Week 1 (wrist)
Marcus McNeill T Probable Week 1 (hand)

Here is the official Week 1 injury report for the Raiders:

Jake Grove C Doubtful Week 1 (shoulder)
John Madsen TE Doubtful Week 1 (ankle)
Lance Johnstone DE Questionable Week 1 (shin)
James Adkisson TE Probable Week 1 (knee)
Alvis Whitted WR Probable Week 1 (groin)

The Raiders go on the road for their Week 2 matchup, as they travel to the east coast to play the Baltimore Ravens. The Chargers play host to the Tennessee Titans next week.
