Cowboys prepare for road game in San Diego
The Dallas Cowboys may have caught a break in Week 1 because they get to play the San Diego Charger minus Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates.
The Cowboys are coming off a successful 3-1 preseason and will try to carry that momentum into the regular season on Sunday afternoon.
The Chargers are favored, opening as 4-point chalk, with an opening total of 40.5.
The Chargers will miss Gates, but still boast a potent offense led by running back LaDainian Tomlinson and quarterback Drew Brees.
This game will be the regular season debut for new Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe and will also be the first time receiver Peerless Price puts on a Cowboys uniform after he was signed late last week.
It has been almost four years since these two teams last faced off. The Chargers won that battle 32-21 as a 4-point road favorite.
Some trends to consider: Dallas are 4-10-0 ATS in their last 14 away gamesDallas are 2-4-1 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring 21 to 30 pointsDallas are 2-4-1 ATS in their last 7 games after being .5 to 3 point underdogsDallas are 2-4-0 OU in their last 6 gamesSan Diego is 5-0-0 SU in their last 5 games after being 3.5 to 7 point favoritesSan Diego is 5-0-0 ATS in their last 5 games after being 3.5 to 7 point favoritesSan Diego is 12-1-1 ATS in their last 14 gamesSan Diego is 4-1-0 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring 10 to 20 points

Saints kick off season at Carolina
The New Orleans Saints will have to try and put the problems happening back home behind them as they travel to Carolina to kick their season off against the Panthers on Sunday.
Oddsmakers like the Panthers in this one, as they have pegged Carolina as a 7-point favorite. The over/under sits at 45.5.
Thanks to Hurricane Katrina, the Saints could be playing their entire season on the road. With all the trauma going on back home, it may be asking a lot for the Saints to focus on football and they will definitely be at a disadvantage for the majority of the season.
The Saints, known as classic underachievers and very inconsistent, will turn to Aaron Brookes and Deuce McAllister to improve on their 8-8 record from last year and make some noise in the NFC South.
Steven Davis is listed as probable for Week 1, and other than that the Panthers haven’t been this healthy since Week 1 of last season. The Panthers started last year 1-7 before picking up five straight wins to make a playoff run. The Carolina defense shouldn’t be anything short of dangerous, and if Davis can stay healthy and Jake Delhomme can fire up last year’s numbers, Carolina could make another run at a championship.
Last year the two teams split their head-to-head matchups, with each team winning at the other’s home stadium.

McNabb, Vick set for first Monday nighter
In a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons clash on Monday night in Week 1 of the NFL season.
The Eagles appear to be the team to beat in the NFC again this season with Donovan McNabb ready to lead the offense and disgruntled receiver Terrell Owens on board, for now anyway.
Atlanta gets its chance to prove the bookies wrong, who opened them as 2-point underdogs. The total opened at 42.
The Falcons will continue to go as far as the arm and legs of quarterback Michael Vick will carry them.
The Eagles flew past the Falcons 27-10 in last year’s NFC Championship game as a 4.5-point favorite.
Some trends to consider: Philadelphia is 1-6-0 OU in their last 7 gamesPhiladelphia is 1-5-0 OU in their last 6 games against AtlantaPhiladelphia is 1-4-0 OU in their last 5 awayPhiladelphia is 2-5-1 OU in their last 8 games away against AtlantaAtlanta is 4-2-0 SU in their last 6 games after scoring 10 to 20 pointsAtlanta is 4-2-0 ATS in their last 6 games after being 3.5 to 7 point underdogsAtlanta is 3-7-0 SU in their last 10 games after being 3.5 to 7 point underdogsAtlanta is 3-7-0 OU in their last 10 games
