NFL Gameday: September 17Will the Giants fare better when out of the Manning Bowl spotlight? Can the Chiefs do anything without Trent Green? Can Terrell Owens avoid controversy for a second straight week? Here's a look at three of the best matchups on the NFL schedule today: N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia (-3) 1:00 PM ETThe Giants had a tough matchup in Week 1 - Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts - and as a result they picked up a 26-21 loss and started the season with an 0-1 record. The Eagles, on the other hand, got creampuff Houston in their season opener last week, and they rolled to a 24-10 victory. New York will be looking to even both teams' records at 1-1 by picking up a victory on Sunday afternoon as road underdogs. Last season the Giants had Philadelphia's number, as they swept the two-game series. New York started by picking up a 27-17 home win over Philly in November, then they edged the Eagles by a score of 26-23 down in Philadelphia in December. The teams split the ATS results last year though - Philly covered as a home dog in the December matchup. The combined scores of both those games went OVER the day's posted total. On the injury front, the Eagles have RB Brian Westbrook (knee) listed as probable, but he missed some practice time this week. LB Jeremiah Trotter (ankle) is also probable. LB LaVar Arrington (knee) and TE Jeremy Shockey (ankle) are probable for the Giants. Kansas City at Denver (-10.5) 4:15 PM ETThe Chiefs and the Broncos both suffered disappointing losses in Week 1 - Kansas City was defeated at home by the Cincinnati Bengals 23-10, while Denver fell 18-10 on the road versus the St. Louis Rams. That means the division rivals will both be looking for their first win of the season this week - with the Chiefs (who are missing starting quarterback Trent Green) pegged as big underdogs in Denver. Kickoff is 4:15 PM ET. The home team went 2-0 in the Chiefs/Broncos series last season. Denver rolled to a 30-10 win over Kansas City in September, while the Chiefs returned the favor with a 31-27 victory in December. Both teams managed to cover the spread in their respective victories, while the combined score of only the December game went OVER the total. Green (head) is obviously out for Kansas City this week, so Damon Huard looks to be the team's starting quarterback barring a last-minute addition to the roster. WR Eddie Kennison (back) was added to the Chiefs' injury report on Friday after missing practice, but he's probable. For the Broncos, RB Mike Bell has a finger injury, but he's listed as probable for this week. K Jason Elam (hip) is also pegged as probable on the report. Washington at Dallas (-6.5) 8:15 PM ETAnother two teams looking to taste victory for the first time this season meet on Sunday night (8:15 PM ET kickoff) when the Washington Redskins take on the Dallas Cowboys. The 'Skins floundered on offense in a 19-16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at home last week, while the 'Boys fell 24-17 on the road to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their opener. Washington had a lot of success against Dallas last season - they won 14-13 on the road in September, and 35-7 at home in December. Both were also ATS wins for the Redskins, with the September matchup an UNDER and the December one an OVER. The Redskins are probably going to be playing without Clinton Portis on Sunday though - the running back scored a touchdown in Week 1, but he's listed as doubtful with a sore shoulder for Week 2. In fact, Joe Gibbs has gone as far as ruling Portis out for the game (a decision which came as a surprise to the back). CB Shawn Springs and S Pierson Prioleau are also out for Washington, while Dallas has no significant injuries to report.
