WE ARE SO BACK. 13 games on a Sunday. Who has it better than us? The early slate is chaos with a 1 p.m. start time. Bills at Texans is the game. Josh Allen on the road against the defense that has made his life miserable, Buffalo a field-goal favorite, total sitting around 44.5. Lamar and first-year coach Jesse Minter open at Indianapolis as 3.5-point road favorites. Bucs at Bengals is the points game — Cincinnati -3.5, total 50.5.

The Giants have not won a home opener since 2010. MetLife. Prime time. No grace period.We give our pick for Cowboys–Giants, our same-game parlay, and two sneaky props to start the Sunday slate.
