Trends
With only one game played, teams are in two groups: 1-0 and 0-1 records. With these two groups you have four permutations for the potential matchups. The following table shows how teams have done against the spread since 1992.

The only thing to note in this table is that in a meeting of teams with 0-1 records the away team (presumably the dog in most cases) has covered at a high rate.
Not that this constitutes a great deal of meaningful data, but based on this table, a few teams might be worth closer scrutiny here in 2006:
Buffalo +7
Kansas City +10.5
Washington +5.5
