The Philadelphia Eagles will have to wait two weeks to showcase their most-talked-about offseason addition, but Michael Vick wasn't the only help the team provided Donovan McNabb in the offseason.

The Carolina Panthers, meanwhile, remain largely the same - for better or worse.

Two rookie speedsters and an All-Pro left tackle should make McNabb and the Eagles' offense more dangerous as they kick off their season Sunday at Carolina, where Jake Delhomme and the Panthers are eager to erase the memories of their ugly exit from the NFC playoffs.

Bank of America Stadium has a Week 1 contest on tap for Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles and the Carolina Panthers play their season openers.

Oddsmakers currently have the Panthers listed as 1-point favorites versus the Eagles, while the game's total is sitting at 44½.
