Cassel\u2019s Made of Sand<\/strong><\/p>\nIt appears the Kansas City Chiefs will have Matt Cassel (knee) under center when they kick off the 2009 campaign against the Baltimore Ravens. Cassel was a godsend last year for the New England Patriots, posting an 89.4 passer rating and guiding the Pats to an 11-5 record (9-7 ATS), although that wasn\u2019t good enough to make the playoffs. It remains to be seen whether that will translate to the Chiefs system; new head coach Todd Haley was the offensive co-ordinator for the Arizona Cardinals in their march to the Super Bowl, so hopes are high in K.C.![\"Sports](\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250d-sportsbook.gif\")

It might take a while. The Chiefs were one of three teams to go 0-4 SU and ATS in the 2009 preseason \u2013 the Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers were the others. And the Chiefs have to travel to M&T Bank Stadium to play a Ravens juggernaut that went 4-0 (3-1 ATS). The Miami Dolphins (4-0 SU, 3-0-1 ATS) and Seattle Seahawks (4-0 SU and ATS) were the only other teams to go undefeated in exhibition play. Baltimore is a 13-point chalk with a total of 36.<\/p>\n
Game of the Week: Washington Redskins at New York Giants<\/strong><\/p>\nThe NFC East is the center of the football universe, and Sunday afternoon\u2019s marquee matchup (4:15 p.m. Eastern, FOX) has the Redskins laying 6.5 points to the Giants at Giants Stadium. Both teams are relatively healthy going into this contest. New York has owned this battle over the past three years, going 5-1 SU and ATS and driving the under to a 5-1 record with stifling defense.<\/p>\n
Even with former defensive co-ordinator Steve Spagnuolo now in charge of the St. Louis Rams, it\u2019ll be the Giants offense with something to prove this Sunday. Whatever you might think of Plaxico Burress the person, the wide receiver was a major part of their 2007 Super Bowl season, and his production has yet to be replaced. Not only that, Washington signed QB Andre\u2019 Woodson to the practice squad after the Giants cut him over the weekend. Woodson is a valuable source of information on the Giants playbook \u2013 and the \u2018Skins need all the help they can get after going 2-6 (1-5-2 ATS) in the second half of 2008.<\/p>\n
Two-minute Drill<\/strong><\/p>\n– Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini had yet to reveal his starting QB for Week 1 as we went to press, and he says he won\u2019t tell anyone until kick-off against the Minnesota Vikings (Sunday, 1:00 p.m., FOX). For what it\u2019s worth, the conventional media is leading us by referring to the two QBs in question as \u201cBrady Quinn and Derek Anderson.\u201d<\/p>\n
– The Buffalo Bills released starting left tackle Langston Walker on Tuesday. This was after firing offensive co-ordinator Turk Schonert on Friday. Suffice to say QB Trent Edwards will have his head on a swivel Monday night (7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN) against the Patriots, who are favored by 11 points at home. We\u2019ll have live betting available on this game as well as the Redskins-Giants and many others. Check Bodog Sports for all the latest.<\/p>\n
