Week 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Orleans at Indianapolis
The Saints were the best surprise of the 2006 season as Sean Payton took a 3-13 team to 10-6 and a game away from the Super Bowl. New Orleans unveiled an explosive offense behind Drew Brees and Reggie Bush, and should continue the upward trend (from 315 ypg in '05 to 393 ypg last year) with the addition of rookie WR Robert Meachem. But while the excitement has New Orleans a pick by many to get to the Super Bowl this year, they will get a strong test in the opener against the reigning Super Bowl champs. The Colts finally got the postseason monkey off their backs when they overcame a 28-3 halftime deficit against New England in the AFC Championship and cruised through the Super Bowl over a Chicago team that was able to shut down the Saints in the NFC Championship. Playing at home, the Colts were 7-3 ATS last year and 6-1 when favored by single digits. A 6-point Vegas favorite, the Colts look like a good pick to cover according to Dunkel, which has Indianapolis favored by 13. Dunkel Pick: Indianapolis (-6). Here are all of this week's picks.

Houston lost last four home openers, three by 14+ points. KC is 4-2 in last six road openers, but lost couple of offensive linemen, and star RB Johnson just got into camp. Chiefs, originally called the Dallas Texans, won last two visits here, 42-14/45-17.

Broncos @ Bills-- Denver won last four series games, with totals in last three 43+; they won last two visits here, 23-20ot/28-17, but lost last three road openers, with four of last five staying under total. Old friend Travis Henry returns to Buffalo, trying to revive Bronco running game. Buffalo is 4-9 in last 13 openers, 2-4 in last six at home; six of their last eight home openers stayed under the total. Interesting to see how Cal rookie Lynch does running ball.

Steelers @ Browns-- Steelers have third coach in last 39 seasons, vs team that has major confusion at QB- they actually flipped a coin to determine starter for summer game. Pittsburgh won seven series games in row, with five of last six wins by 11+ points- they won last six visits to Lake Erie, and converted on 16 of 28 third down plays vs Browns LY, scoring six TDs on 20 drives, while the Browns had one TD on 19 drives, with seven 3/outs. They've lost seven of last eight home openers, with four of the last five losses by five or less points.

Titans @ Jaguars-- Jax outrushed Titans 380-149 LY, allowing the Titans to convert just five of 26 on third down, but they lost big game in Week 15 to Tennessee (24-17), even though Titans had only 98 total yards, and were 0 for 8 on third down. Titans lost last two visits here, 40-13/37-7, and lost six of last seven openers on road; they're 3-9 vs spread as dog in road openers, losing last two by combined score of 74-14. Jags covered last six openers at home; they covered in Week 1 the last eight years.

Panthers @ Rams-- First visit to this site for Carolina since win in OT in '03 playoffs that propelled them to NFC title; Panthers won last three series games, 15-0/20-7/29-23ot- they held Rams to just 31 rushing yards in LY's game, dominating total yards (411-111) holding St Louis to eight first downs. Rams upgraded offense by adding Bennett, McMichael; they won last four series openers, all by eight or less points. In their history, Carolina is 1-3 in Week 1 road games-- they lost their last three season openers, all as a home favorite.

Eagles @ Packers-- Philly won last five series games, with home side winning nine of last ten in series; Eagles lost three of last 4 visits to Lambeau, but haven't been here since '03. LY, Pack led
9-7 at half in Philly, but lost 31-9, as Iggles ran ball for 131 yards, and has 12-yard advantage in field position. Pack lost their last 4 home openers, covered just one of last eight, allowing 25.8 ppg in last four. Eagles are 6-2 vs spread as favorite in Week 1; under is 7-2 in their last nine road openers.

Falcons @ Vikings-- Post-Vick era begins with Harrington at QB for Atlanta. Home side lost four of last five series games, as the Falcons won last two visits here, both in OT (one of wins was in playoffs). Vikings won three of last four home openers; under is 13-5-1 in their last 19, as well as 12-6 in Falcons' last 18 openers on road. Atlanta started out 1-0 last four years, won three of last four road openers. Minnesota figures to try and run ball, with a young QB (Jackson) and solid rookie runner (Peterson).

Dolphins @ Redskins-- Cameron/Green combo used to work for Redskins, now 37-year old Green tries to revive career in Miami, after serious concussion caused him to miss half of last season in KC. Home side won last five series games, with Dolphins' last W here back in '84. Skins won four of last five home openers, with last four staying under- they're 2-6-1 vs spread last nine times as a favorite in home opener. Fish lost last three road openers; nine of their last thirteen road openers stayed under the total.

Patriots @ Jets-- New England defense has taken hits recently, as Harrison, Seymour both out for first month, but Belichick is 7-1 in last eight series games, winning last six at this site. Last season, Pats won two of three vs Jets, outrushing Gang Green 448-208. although Jets did run ball for 117 yards in game they won. Jets were 17-31 on 3rd down during season vs Pats, but only 3-11 in playoff loss. Over is 13-5-1 in last nineteen Jet home openers, and 5-2-2 in New England's last nine road openers.

Buccaneers @ Seahawks-- Seattle won six of last seven in series, with last four series totals 30 or less; Hawks won 23-7 last year in Week 17 (+3), winning 60.9% of third down plays, having 12-yard edge in field position, piling up 28 first downs and 72-49 edge in plays run. Garcia is latest QB for Bucs, who won six of last eight road openers (under is 6-0 both in Seattle home openers, and Buc road openers). Seahawks won last four home openers, allowing just 9.5 ppg, winning by 17-34-3-11 points.

Bears @ Chargers-- Norv Turner debuts as Bolts' HC, while his brother Ron calls plays for Bears. Charger LB coach Rivera was Chicago DC for last three years, was let go by Chicago after he tried to get head coaching job, so this has to be special game for him, even with hated Patriots on deck. Bears won last four games in this seldom-played series; this is their first visit here since '99. San Diego scored 24-28-40 points in last three season openers. Of late, teams that lose Super Bowl have stumbled the next year.

Lions @ Raiders-- Fine piece of scheduling, as two worst teams in '06 meet in '07 opener, guaranteeing one of them a happy start to this season. Home side won six of last eight series games, as Lions are 0-4 at this site. Raiders acquired QB McCown from the Lions in offseason; will he help Oakland defend Martz Madness? Lions expected to be more explosive in second year with Martz as OC, but Lions just 24-72 in six years under inept GM Millen; hard to have much confidence backing them on road, even against dysfunctional Raider team that cut its 3rd round pick this week.

Giants @ Cowboys-- Both offense dominated series games in '06, as teams combined to convert 56% of third down plays in teams' meetings. This was game last year where Romo replaced Bledsoe after bad INT right before half. Giants were +3 in turnovers, ran ball for 281 yards, while Dallas averaged 7.2/7.3 yards per pass attempt in two games. Giants are 10-6 in last 16 series games, 4-3 in last seven visits here. Dallas started 0-1 six of last seven years under is 13-5-1 in their last nineteen home openers. Can Jacobs be adequate replacement for backstabbing former RB Barber?

Monday, September 10

Ravens @ Bengals-- Baltimore was 11-31 on third down last year vs Bengals, scoring only one TD in seven trips to Cincinnati red zone; they hope addition of McGahee improves those numbers. Bengals won four of last five series games, with Ravens losing in last two visits here, 42-29/13-7, but Cincy OL took some hits last offseason, which could hamper formerly high-powered offense. Ravens lost five of last six road openers, with under 8-1 in last 9 road openers. Bengals won last three home openers, by 3,29,17.

Cardinals @ 49ers-- Since losing pair of OT tilts to Niners in 2005, Cardinals won last four series games, winning last two visits here 17-10/26-20; six of last seven series totals were 45+. Arizona won 64.6% of third down plays in series LY, with Niners just 2-18 on third down, but Cardinals have been awful road team, losing last five road openers by 13-point average. Arizona is 1-12 in last 13 Week 1 road games. Niners covered their last four openers, with underdog covering seven of their last nine. At age 23, 49er QB Smith is same age as Hawai'i's Heisman hopeful Colt Brennan.

Six-pack for Wednesday

-- Brewers, Cardinals win; Cubs lose, NL Central tightens. Mulder makes '07 debut for St Louis on Wednesday.

-- Padres need win at Arizona Wednesday to split season series 9-9, which could affect tiebreaker in NL West.

-- Indians rallied to tie in 9th inning, win in 11th, as they go up another game on Detroit after Tigers lost 3-1 to ChiSox.

-- Boy, the Reds have some terrible pitchers. Mets scored 11 runs against them, and Reyes/Wright went 0-10.

-- Looks like Mets are finally giving slumping Reyes day off on Wednesday; his bat looks really tired.

-- Paul Loduca had 11 RBI in his previous 118 ABs, before he knocked in seven runs Tuesday night.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

**pm530** · 09-05-2007, 04:03 AM

Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) PGA Tour's FedEx Cup 'playoffs" have issues, with news that Mickelson is skipping this week's event, despite leading in FedEx Cup points (winner gets $10M). He played an outing at Medinah, just outside Chicago, Tuesday, but flew home on Tuesday night. When guy skips out on chance to win $10M, you know there are issues.

12) Mickelson loves football; Arizona State has night game at home Saturday, and NFL starts Sunday, so maybe he likes to watch football so much, that he blows off his job to do it-- he wouldn't be the first of us to do that, just that he has a better job than the rest of us.

11) Speaking of that $10M payoff, does winning caddy get a 10% cut of the $10M? Standard caddy fees are 4%, except if his guy wins, then it goes up to 10%. There could be some excellent drama if someone unexpected wins the Cup, and he and caddy didn't agree on a fee beforehand.

10) Mike Mussina is already back in Bronx rotation, in place of the injured $1M-per-start man, Clemens. Mussina had made 499 career starts, before his first relief stint Monday.

9) Back to Clemens for a second; how stupid are owners? The guy is in his mid-40's, and he's getting $1M per start. Bronx is 10 and freakin' 17 in his starts, at a mill a pop. Terrific move. What team will he hoodwink into signing him next year?

8) Older pitchers are supposed to tire out as season goes on, but Greg Maddux is a freak of nature; the last two years, he is 10-4 in nineteen starts that happened after August 1.

7) This Appalachian State thing is a permanent part of college football lore; not only did they beat Michigan, they cashed a very large check just for showing up. I-AA teams go to these big programs for big paychecks, not to win games. Whoops.

6) In case you care about such things, Appalachian State's campus is at the highest elevation of any college east of the Mississippi River, down there in Boone, NC.

5) Six college basketball teams spent Labor Day weekend up in Vancouver, getting in exhibition games; the real value of a trip like that is the ten extra practices you get beforehand, and bondng, to a certain extent. You can take new players on team if you go after the school year has started, which is why this past Labor Day weekend is popular one to travel on.

4) Stanford, Tennessee, two teams with more established set of players, went to Europe this summer, but they could only use returning players on those trips.

3) Torii Hunter turned down $45M, three-year deal from the Twins; he wants a JD Drew-type contract. ESPN's John Kruk says Hunter will be playing in the Bronx next season.

2) Someone explain to me how you get offered $45M for three years, to do the exact same thing you've been doing for last decade, and in the same place, and you say no? Anyone?

1) Speaking of Drew, his on-base percentage against RHP's is .384, pretty good. Against lefties, it is a putrid .275, which is why Bobby Kielty is an appealing platoon alternative with a postseason tournament looming for Boston.

Colorado edged San Francisco 6-5 on Tuesday and improved to a season-high six games over .500. The victory was their fifth in six games.

BUCHHOLZ TO BULLPEN

Boston rookie Clay Buchholz, who threw a no-hitter in just his second major league start, will pitch out of the bullpen for the near future, Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Tuesday. He is just the 21st rookie to throw a no-hitter, and the third to pitch one in one of his first two starts. Francona left open the possibility that Buchholz will get another start this season.
