Hookscenter’s free pick for 2008 NFL season opener.
September 4, 2008
The NFL is back again starting tonight in the Meadowlands as the Super Bowl champions, New York Giants, host division-rival, Washington Redskins, in the league opener of the 2008 NFL season.
The Giants lost defensive lineman, Osi Umenyiora, for the season during a preseason game but the Giants shouldn’t miss a beat with stud Mathias Kiwanuka taking over Umenyiora’s position.
The Giants should have no problem taking care of the Redskins in front of an electric crowd expected tonight in the season opener in which the Giants will receive their Super Bowl rings.
Look for a big dose of Brandon Jacobs running the ball as the Giants will look to control the clock and limit the Reskins offensive possessions.
The Redskins first game under new head coach, Jim Zorn, won’t go the way owner Daniel Snyder planned as the Giants defensive will smother the new West Coast offense brought in by Zorn.
The Redskins only chance to stay close is if they have a huge game from RB Clinton Portis and QB Jason Campbell limits his mistakes.
Not the best game to handicap to open the season, but I like the Giants (+4.5).
