The New England Patriots (1-0) and Atlanta Falcons (1-0) meet in the Georgia Dome after both teams turned in solid performances in their preseason openers last week.  The Falcons did not manage a touchdown by their starters in a game that featured five field-goal attempts on the first eight drives – including four straight misses from 50 yards or longer – but they did play well defensively and escaped without any major injuries in a 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

New York Jets Football
Mark Sanchez and the Jets are 2.5 point favorites tonight over the Giants
The New York Jets have become arguably the most popular team in the NFL thanks in part to their starring role in HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this year following their AFC championship appearance last season.  But the New York Giants are not buying the hype heading into their preseason opener as they open New Meadowlands Stadium on Monday Night Football.  The Jets are small favorites of -2 or -2.5 depending on where you bet the game featuring two “home” teams.  You can always compare the current Jets/Giants line from multiple sportsbooks on our NFL betting odds page.

Will Big Ben Play Tonight? Expect the betting odds to tick up a hair if Tomlin says he is getting some snaps.
The big question for the Pittsburgh Steelers going into their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions is, will we see QB Ben Roethlisberger?  Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin refused to comment on whether or not the troubled signal caller will play, but his team will still enter the game as home favorites at -3 on the NFL point spread regardless.  Unlike his predecessor Bill Cowher, Tomlin has been an outstanding coach in the preseason with a 10-3 career mark.

It is easy to get excited about new QB Donovan McNabb if you are a Washington Redskins fan, but the bigger move by the team in the offseason was bringing in head coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen to restructure the organization from the bottom up.  Shanahan brings a winning attitude as a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos to the favored Redskins (-3) against the Buffalo Bills in their opener on Friday and owns one of the most impressive preseason records of any active coach at 41-19.

Who will look more like the New England Patriots in 2010, the Atlanta Falcons or the Kansas City Chiefs?  The favored Falcons (-3) may not have a direct connection to the Patriots, but they have more players who seem to resemble the three-time Super Bowl champions going into Friday’s preseason opener against the Chiefs.  Future Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez will also face his former team for the first time since a trade sent him from Kansas City for Atlanta less than two years ago.
