A hypothetical for you, and a reality for me...

My uncle, who has season tickets, allows me to choose 2 games each year to attend. It is always a difficult decision, and this year is no exception. I consider the following criteria when making my decision:

1. A game against an elite team. Extra credit if not an AFCE team as I like to see different teams in person. But the bigger the game, the more fun

2. 4:15 or night game. I like to tailgate! And drinking in the lot in the morning for a 1:00 game is not my idea of fun. Since I will take the following day off from work, I have no fear of night games. In fact, more consideration is given to night games. I love the atmosphere at night.

3. Time of year. I have become more pu$$ified and hate the freezing cold. And for anyone who was at the Jet game in 2007, I can do without hail, freezing rain, and a 5 hour drive through a storm. September and October are always preferred.

Here are my thoughts on each game....

Sunday, Sept. 16 Arizona 1:00 p.m. Home opener is a plus. Opponent is ok. Time of year is great. 1:00 start is a big negative

Sunday, Oct. 7 Denver 4:25 p.m. LOVE time of year and game time. Brady/Manning? No brainer. However, if Manning's neck becomes an issue, game could be a dud.

Sunday, Oct. 21 New York Jets 4:25 p.m. Should be great game, lots of hatred, etc. Love October and late game. Kind of sick of the Jets though

Sunday, Nov. 11 Buffalo 1:00 p.m. Meh. 1:00, Bills, no gonna happen

Sunday, Nov. 18 Indianapolis 1:00 p.m. Nope

Monday, Dec. 10 Houston 8:30 p.m. Love the opponent and MNF! Could be really cold though

Sunday, Dec. 16 San Francisco 8:20 p.m. Again, love the opponent and love the night game. Why are both night games in December though?

Sunday, Dec. 30 Miami 1:00 p.m. NOT A CHANCE. Could mean nothing, Miami will suck, 1:00, will be cold, and it's my birthday!


I am really curious what others would choose for their 2 games. I am leaning toward 49ers and Broncos, but am considering Texans, Jets, Cardinals games.

Not even a question IMO

The hated Jets for sure and there won't be too many more Brady vs. Manning classics so Denver as the other....you have to assume Manning will be starting,he's a whiner but he is also as tough as nails.

Any 2 of Jets, Texans, 49ers and Broncos. Broncos is most questionable based on how well Manning does early on. The other three should almost definitely be great games.

I'm hoping to get good seats for the 10/7 game Vs. Denver. It's my wife and my anniversary AND a long weekend. Double win!

vs. Jets in October would be perfect.

Jets and Broncos are the first two that come to mind for me.


On the other hand you also have two really good games late against teams you don't see that often (SF and Houston). The 49ers game has the return of Moss and a great defense; Houston has Andre Johnson, Arian Foster, and another good defense. But as you said considering the time of year and being night games, I think I would go for the first two.

Jets and 49ers. I'd say Broncos and Jets, but you don't want to blow both your games in 3 weeks.

Denver is a lock imo

Then it goes between Jets/Bills or Houston/49ers. It depends on if you want to see a good rivalry or a game between two playoff teams. Even that could change depending how teams do during the season. If I were to pick now I would take the Jets just based on pure hatred and the fact they are poised for a horrible year.
