Sunday Night Football: Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) at Atlanta Falcons (0-1)
Venue and weather: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the roof is open (Clear, 81°F at kickoff)
Prediction: Here’s the one most of you have been waiting for. In what figures to be one of the best games of the day, the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to meet an overhyped Matt Ryan and an Atlanta Falcons team that won’t block for him, that won’t back him up on defense, and that refuses to give him consistent competent coaching.
To be honest, the best coach that Ryan ever had is now the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Even with all of that being said, this is a game early in the season that Philly could lose. The ITI staff just doesn’t think that they will. Final score: Eagles 27, Atlanta 24

Monday Night Football: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets
Venue and weather: MetLife Stadium, Mostly Clear, 71°F at kickoff
Prediction: Is anyone else expecting an angry Cleveland Browns team to show up at MetLife Stadium? Is anyone else expecting Odell Beckham Jr to go off versus a Gregg Williams-led defense after he just accused Williams of trying to kill him?
Oh, and by the Williams denies all charges.
Maybe we should all just say it. Maybe the New York Jets are cursed. Sam Darnold is out, and despite the fact we’ll be watching two terrible coaches lead two bad teams, One coach, Freddie Kitchens, doesn’t suck as much as the other, Adam Gase. Final score: Browns 27, Jets 13
