I will probably go on a little rant today, and by no means is it to share my political views but to express my anger with the season starting on a Wednesday. For those of you that don't know why the season is starting on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday, it is because of one President Obama. That is right, he decided that he was going to have his convention on a Thursday evening, forcing the NFL to move their game to a Wednesday. I read somewhere else that for this he should be arrested for treason. Messing with the NFL to what? Have a big party to let people know he is running for reelection? Really? Pretty sure we all knew he was going to run, which is fine, but to throw in our faces that he can do whatever, including moving the start of the NFL season just crosses a line in my book. Like my friend said that alone is a reason for him to not vote for Obama. Again I want to emphasize this isn't about democrat or republican, it is about the NFL and jacking with the start of the season. Honestly this change would really upset me if the Chiefs had to move their game to accommodate him. Oh he wants to give a speech about nothing, better move the Chiefs game to Saturday. Change, remember when that was all he talked about in his campaign? Well congrats it took almost 4 years but the one change you have been able to make is the change of the NFL season and that really grinds my gears.
With that I figure it is time to actually break down a game, the first game of the NFL season. Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants.I think this game is pretty easy, Dallas is weak on the offensive line and the Giants have a huge pass rush. I think that ultimately costs the Cowboys the game. One other stat I am looking at is the last 13 Super Bowl winners have won their opening game. That trend continues tonight. Sure Tony Romo is good early in the year, but I actually think this year he might start slow and look more like Eli late in the year. The Giants have won 7 of 9 of the last match ups and they are at home. I do think that this will be a battle, I was initially thinking the Cowboys could hit a big play and find a way but with Whitten out and that questionable offensive line I realized that the Giants are the better team in the trenches. Giants are a 4 point favorite and will find a way to cover.
Giants 28 Cowboys 23
Oh and Dave didn't get a breakdown in but he is on the Cowboys... we will continue our records from last year and keep everything up to date this year as well. Good luck
