The NFL season is almost here. The last week of preseason is being played and teams are getting ready to trim down their rosters. What great games will we have in week one? This is usually the week when novice football fans realize that preseason doesn't matter. All the good teams return to form and the bad teams, which were dominating in preseason, begin their horrific trip through the regular season. Here's a listing of games going down in week one in the NFL.
Thursday September 7
1. Miami Dolphins at the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Dolphins have been over hyped this off-season. Here's a great test for this Miami club right out of the gate.
Sunday September 10
2. Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers
The battle for division supremacy begins right here.
3. New Orleans Saints at Cleveland Browns
4. Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions
The Seattle Seahawks get a fairly easy game to open the season. The Lions have a new offensive coordinator.
5. Philadelphia Eagles at Houston Texans
6. Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs
Will Carson Palmer be ready for action? This will be a hard fought game.
7. Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
The rivalry gets going in week one. The Patriots have lost a great deal this off-season. Are the Bills ready to step it up this year?
8. Denver Broncos at St. Louis Rams
9. Baltimore Ravens at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10. New York Jets at Tennessee Titans
How long before we hear chants calling for Vince Young?
11. San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals
One of the worst games this week. The only reason to watch is to see the Cardinals news stadium and to see how Edgerrin James runs for Arizona.
12. Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Is this it for Brett Favre? Will the Bears find an offense?
13. Dallas Cowboys at Jacksonville Jaguars
Great opening game for two clubs looking to step it up this season. Will Owens actually play in this one?
14. Indianapolis Colts at New York Giants
Sunday night football starts out with a monstrous game. How will P. Manning do without James? Can either of the Manning brothers win a playoff game?
15. Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins
The Redskins are proving that offense is not their thing. The Vikings believe they have a shot at their division this season. This should be a good Monday night game.
16. San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders
You are now up to date on week one in the NFL. It's going to be a great week.
