I really wanna see who steps up as the Giants' #3 WR. I thought Rueben Randle would be the early favorite, but neither he nor anybody else particularly distinguished themselves in preseason. Could see Randle actually being inactive to start off the year as Coughlin usually takes it easy with the rookies early on. Hixon and Barden should see plenty of snaps.
If you're the superstitious type, the defending Super Bowl champion has never lost in the 8 years they've been doing the whole "champ opens at home during the week" game.
Gonna try to avoid putting too much stock into Week 1 regardless of the outcome, though a win would go a long way towards making the 11 day layoff between games seem more bearable.
