Looking forward to the game tonight. Saints opened at -9, and the line already moved to 11.5. Wow. That is a big shift. Over/under 56. I haven't got to watch the Falcons this year yet, so I'll be curious to see if there's anything on either side of the ball the Skins can exploit next week. 

A big concern of mine is how Sherman Lewis will handle the onslaught of zone blitzes from Eagles Defensive Coordinator, and Jim Johnson pupil, Sean McDermott. With zone blitzes, the middle of the field should have some holes, so hopefully Cooley and Sleepy can see get the ball with some open room. 

Notes:

- Levi Jones will most likely be active tonight. 
- Brian Mitchell will be inducted pre-game into the Ring of Fame

As I was going through my normal game thread routine of posting pictures of the coaches, I realized how relevant it was to post pictures of the "GM(s)" instead. The Chiefs are a team in clear re-building mode who brought in a proven winner with an eye for talent in Scott Pioli. On the flip side, we have an owner and a sidekick refusing to admit they have a team built with no chemistry and ten years of mistakes to show for it. This will certainly be highlighted if the building team wins. I hope you get a good chance Mr. Snyder to see how the Chiefs operate...and maybe one day that can be you on the left.

Well, the Redskins face their 5th straight game versus an opponent who has 0 wins. Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of the picture on the right.

Let's win this. 2 young coaches going at it.

So it looks like Chris Samuels and Marc Bulger are both go's. Once again Redskins Nation has their hopes up for an "easy" win. Is this the Zorn we expect to see in 5 hours? All smiles in the post game after a 30+ point victory? 

Have at it.

I'll be tweeting from Fedex as Sugar and I will be at the gates before they open around 8:30AM. Hopefully we'll see some Orakpophobia shirts out there.

I'm at Giants Stadium for the game and will be dropping in on this thread and our twitter. All the Giants fans I'm with have this game as an assured blowout. I have multiple bets for the Skins to cover. How can you not take points week 1? Although I don't see how the Saints and Ravens don't cover those -14 point spreads. Have at it....
