Las Vegas Raiders (0-0) at Carolina Panthers (0-0) The Raiders should be better this season than last season, especially since their offensive line figures to be significantly healthier, but that won’t necessarily translate to more wins, as the Raiders were not as good as their 7-9 record suggested last season.…

Philadelphia Eagles (0-0) at Washington Mascots (0-0) The Eagles enter the season as arguably the most banged up team in the league.

Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0) at New York Giants (0-0) I have these two teams about 7 points apart in my roster rankings, so this line is accurate, favoring the Steelers by 6 points on the road in New York against a Giants team that won’t have any fans. However, this is…

New York Jets (0-0) at Buffalo Bills (0-0) I am not as high on the Bills as most, as their success last season came almost entirely against easier opponents and now they have a much tougher schedule, but I’m surprised they are only 6.5 point home favorites over the Jets.…
