The Big Lead Power Rankings, by KC's own Lisk

"Going back to 1978, 8 teams lost the opener at home to a non-playoff team (sorry, Bills fans, I think you are decent but not jumping on a post season bandwagon yet) by at least 24 points. They averaged 4.8 wins, and that is bolstered by a perennial playoff Steelers team in 1997 that lost to the perennial playoff Cowboys and went on to win 11 games. The median was 3.5 wins."
