Do the numbers favor the defending champs going into Thursday’s matchup?
Some sports fans believe that nothing is sweeter than the day in late March/early April when baseball has it’s Opening day. Unfortunately, they’re wrong.
Baseball had its day. Now football is king, and there is no greater feeling than Opening Night in the NFL which is upcoming this Thursday.
The NFL season starting on a Thursday is actually a fairly new idea. The first official NFL kickoff game was introduced in 2002. It featured the San Francisco 49ers playing at the New York Giants and it was supposed to be a boost to the New York area, given that, as a country, we were still in the first year of grieving following 9/11.
