Week 1 NFL PICKS:
Against the spread | Straight-up picks
Since 1978, when the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule, teams that win their season-openers are more than twice as likely to reach the playoffs than losers of an opening game. Of the 602 teams that won openers, 311 went to the playoffs (189 won division titles). Of the 601 teams that lost openers, 147 went to the playoffs (85 won division titles).
Those numbers should be considerd good news for Dallas, which is favored in Sunday's game and has beaten New York four straight times. With a winning percentage of .655 (38-20-1), the Cowboys own the best kickoff weekend winning percentage in the NFC.
