I think the NFL will want us in one of their night games on opening weekend, either Sunday or Monday.
We don't have but a few 'marquee' games this year, and only about six I'd consider 'big':
INDIANAPOLIS - it's been done, but NBC may want the biggest matchup to kick off their Sunday night games. I hope this is in November actually. 30% chance
MIAMI / at Miami - typically divisional games aren't prime-time for opening weekend. Plus the Fins are light on 'names'. Slim to no chance.
at Cincinnati - I don't think the Bengals are THAT popular, even w/ Johnson and Palmer (who may/may not be back in time). Slim to no chance.
at Jacksonville - no freaking way. Nobody would tune in. ZERO chance.
DENVER - the PERFECT choice IMO. Nothing like a payback game to start off the season. I'm sure we'll have to suffer through replays of Champ's pick, but it'll be worth it once we knock 'em off. If they get T.O. however, they will definitely go to Pittsburgh for their opener. So 50/50 chance.
