Cowboys Giants Line at New York -3 to Kick Off 2012 Regular Season
The Cowboys-Giants were announced as the first game to kick off the 2012 NFL regular season and BetOnline.com has already released a line of New York -3.
The regular season has started on a Thursday since 2002, but the league moved this year's opener up a day to avoid a conflict with President Barack Obama's planned speech at the Democratic National Convention.
According to the league, it hasn't played a game on a Wednesday since Sept. 22, 1948, when the Rams faced the Lions.
"Who cares who we are playing; hosting the game is all that's important," Giants owner John Mara joked, knowing well that the NFL champion hosts the kickoff to the season. "It's exciting. They're one of our big rivals. We had two great games last year. The fans will be jacked up for it."
