Just curious about something...if a majority of the editors predicting these games are Eagles fans, why are the Giants listed first and are the only team bolded? Doesn't seem right.

@Nick—Whichever team wins gets their name bolded after the game. The Giants won last night. And the games are listed in order from Thursday to Sunday to Monday games—not in order of favorites.

Oh Nick, it's just a coding thing. They were the first game of the week. And being a true Eagles fan, I picked against them! But we'll beat them next week!

No you won't, Dino. If you ask me, the defending Super Bowl champs ought to be listed first every week.
