Trying to pick games against the spread in Week 1 is about as difficult as trying to forecast the twists and turns of a tropical storm. Am I right, weathermen?
The reality is that there's just so much unknown.
Including Denver on Thursday night, there will be seven home underdogs (assuming the Giants will be favorites by kickoff). If there's one thing I learned from last season, it's that you shouldn't underestimate home underdogs early on. I think four of them _ the Jets, Titans, Redskins and 49ers _ will win outright.
Expect a lot of close games, and afterward, I'm sure we'll be left with as many questions as we had before we turned on the NFL RedZone channel.
