NFL Week 1 Picks & Betting Lines: The 2010 NFL season officially gets underway this Thursday night with an NFC Championship Game rematch between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans. The opening weekend's action will conclude with two Monday night contests as Super Bowl hopefuls Baltimore and New York tangle at the New Meadowlands Stadium and AFC West rivals San Diego and Kansas City christen the renovated Arrowhead Stadium.

There is no shortage of anticipation for Thursday night's clash in the Bayou, which will feature bad blood aplenty as the 
Vikings attempt to exact some revenge for January's NFC Championship loss. Minnesota left New Orleans knowing it had let one slip away as it posted 16 more first downs and 218 more yards than the Saints. However, five turnovers, including two interceptions from Brett Favre, added to the Vikings gloomy post-season legacy.
Despite Minnesota's desire to erase that loss from its memory, the odds makers at Sportsbook.com are predicting another New Orleans' victory as the Saints are listed as a -5 against the spread home favorite.
Monday night will also be a treat for football fans with two of the hardest hitting teams in the league squaring off at New York's new pigskin palace. The Jets and Ravens will give the New Meadowlands Stadium its first official football clash in a potential AFC Championship Game preview.
New York's Rex Ryan has been bold in his predictions, which means the onus will fall on his team to fulfill what have become enormous expectations. The Jets' offense did little in the preseason to stir any championship dreams, though, and now it must find a way to move the ball against a Baltimore team that allowed 16.3 points and 300.5 yards per game a season ago. If Mark Sanchez can get it done against the Ravens, he may add even more fuel to Ryan's Super Bowl or bust fire.
New York is presently listed as a -2.5 against the spread home favorite in Monday Night's ESPN showdown.
