openning game sees as always kicks off with the Superbowl champs, but what a game to kick it all off.
A huge NFC East battle where the Giants take on their biggest threat to the post season in the shape of the Dallas Cowboys. You could say it should be a formality for the champs but if the Giants wanted to avoid anyone on openning day it would be the Cowboys as so much is riding on getting off to a good start especially get one over on a divisonal team.
The other BIG show downs sees AFC North rivals Cincinnati Bengals face off against last season's AFC Championship runners up and possibly my tip for a Superbowl place the Baltimore Ravens. Not taking anything away from the Bengals as they finished strong last season and still managed to grab a slot in the post season but a comfortable win for the Ravens in week 1 sounds about right.
A Manningless Colts with #1 Draft pick Andrew Luck take a trip to fall away, Injury riddled Chicago in what should be one of the stand out games in week 1. The Bears have a tough D line and should put some pressure on the Colts rookie but if last season was anything to by then by the end of the season the whole world will know the name Andrew Luck. I can see one of these teams getting a real beating in week 1 as to which team? time will tell.
Peyton Manning is back and welcomes Pittsburgh to his new home in week 1 and i'm sure James Harrison and co will make him feel right at home whilst trying to settle the score following the quickest OT playoff exit in NFL history. (Stupid Tebow)
Speaking of Tebow, he has the chance to prove his worth at home against the Bills. Couldn't ask for an easier start to be fair so expect another Tebow magic show, although I feel most NFL teams will wise up and close Tebow down this time out and he will find it alot tougher.
