On CBS. Does CBS have the AFC games this year? I have no idea where anything's going to be this season.

NFL | Cowboys at Jaguars a Week 1 matchup
Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:40:43 -0800

ESPN.com reports the first late Sunday afternoon telecast of the year, to be broadcast by FOX, will be September 10, when the Dallas Cowboys visit the Jacksonville Jaguars.

I'm confused as to why the NFL would want an umarketable team like Jacksonville playing in the 4:15 game on opening weekend. Maybe because they want the best NFC-AFC matchup?

This is probably the guy that came up with schedule-tumor.

well then have him face.....some team besides Jacksonville.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I can hear Joe Buck already...

"Terrell Owens returns to the field where he so bravely played in Super Bowl thirty nine....."

dallas even without TO is a huge draw
dallas with TO is money
they dont need to waste another draw opposite them
they have it regardless

Is this for just week one or are their always going to be two Monday night games.   Please tell me that this isn't the case!

And I was hoping for a Dallas @ Philly for the first Monday Night Game!

[MDS]

week 1 could now be:

CAR--home
TB--road
HOU--road
TEN--home
GB--home
SF--road

Jax, Indy and the division games are out. I don't think we'll open up two years in a row with the Vicks, and the Saints will be on the road to begin in the year.

I'd like either Tennesee or Green Bay, both teams suck.

Also, if we open up with SF, the game will be at 4:15. Meaning, we won't even see the TO game. So maybe thats a good idea.
