Week 1 of the NFL Season had NEW COACHES start 0-7 ! That's only happened 4 times since 1970 when new coaches have not opened with a W. This week The Hedgie thinks the New Head Coaches will have similiar results except perhaps PAT SHURMUR
The NY Giants head to Dallas for a Sunday Night showdown and Hedgie thinks Vegas has the wrong team favored. Dallas is without it's starting Center and in the offseason lost WR Dez Bryant and TE Jason Witten. Meanwhile, The Giants have an improved OLine and added star draft pick Saquon Barkley. Pat Shurmur has been around the block and knows the right formula to Win.
NY GIANTS +3 3 stars
Redskins -5.5 2 stars (Redskins look overlooked with QB Alex Smith at the helm who Hedgie sees as an upgrade over former QB Cousins)
Falcons -5.5 2 stars (3 days extra rest and back at Home Falcons should get back on track)
Eagles -3 2 stars ( 3 days extra rest and catching good value on the line after Bucs upset Saints. Eagles have a great defense and should give Bucs journeyman QB Fitzpatrick alot of trouble today)
49ers -5.5 2 stars (fading Matt Patricia and Detroit's new coaching staff until further notice)
