When Pats games aren't on, I've become a Red Zone junkie thanks to the fantasy disease I have contracted. In the past, only a few teams could get me excited enough to exit Red Zone and take in a full 3 hours of one game only.
Here's my....

2012 Must See list

1) Detroit Lions....the combination of a SuperFreak WR and junkyard dog DL nastiness. Lots of star power, Lots of scoring, bright future

2) Jets....pure hatred....Is that wrong?

2012 2nd tier Must See list

1) Cowboys....I'm always sucked into the drama that is the Dallas Cowboys

Two new entries

2) SF 49ers....I want to see a great D takeover and dominate. Can they deliver?

3) Buffalo Bills....I'm intrigued by them. Fred Jackson, upgraded D, aggressive play calling. I'm jumping on their bandwagon until I jump off

My peculiar No Interest list

Green Bay....like the Colts over the past decade, I know they will pass a ton and I know they will win. And I know I can skip it.

New Orleans....Drew Brees turned me off this offseason, so I'll turn off Saints games. Yeah, I'm messed up

Let's see. I hate the Packers (they have nothing to do really with the Pats, I have other reasons) and Jets, so that means I often watch their games, especially if they're losing. Saints, meh, sometimes. Buffalo, yes especially now that they're a threat. Cowboys not really. I love watching the 9er games. Their defense is truly something to watch. I also love to watch Detroit when they're on because of Stafford and Megatron.

So that's where I stand on all of these teams.
 
Has anyone noticed in the past few seasons how painfully boring Bears games are? I feel like it's just me but the Bears are incredibly boring for me to watch.
 
My list is AFC only..

Pittsburg- can't stand Rapelessburger

Denver- Manning curiosity obviously

Jets- Mouthy from their players to their HC

Ravens- Every loss for them better for Pats standings in playoffs

Bills- East rivals and alotta hype about their improved D and O

Cutler now has his old friend Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery to play with, along with Forte catching out of the backfield. This is probably the most loaded the Bears have ever been on offense, I think they'll be fun to watch this season. That whole division (minus the Vikings) is going to be crazy.
 
49ers at Pats is going to be a badass game.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that one.

I'm interested in seeing how Manning does with the Donks

I'm looking forward to an early-season Sanchez meltdown and the rise of Tebowmania in NY. This could be a fun thing to watch.

I am also intrigued by the Bills, and want to see if there is any actual improvement with their offense or if it's a case of hype and wishful thinking masking the same-old same-old Bills.

I want to see whether or not the Suggs-less Ravens can step it up. My money is that they won't, not this year anyway. Ray Rice is still a weapon to respect, but he's their MAIN weapon. Flacco? I dunno yet.
 
FL Network broadcasting the Saints/Pats practice. Started at 2pm EST.

Looks alot more crowded than the practice I attended last week.

Want to see how Patriot WR's get covered by NO....and vise versa
 
AFC:
Houston - Can they continue the same success last season without Mario Williams and with a healthy Matt Schaub?
Pittsburgh - New offense, new faces, new offensive line, every other season, the Steelers go deep into the postseason, can they do it again?
Patriots - Young faces on defense and a revamped passing game, can any team stop Tom Brady and the offense?
Bills - Will Fitzpatrick and the improved pass rush lead the team into the postseason?

NFC:
Cowboys - With a healthy Romo and an improved secondary, and two emerging stars in Murray and Bryant, will they desperately bounce back into the postseason?
Seahawks - New QB, new receivers and a promising defense, can they turn some heads in 2012?
Saints - Derailed by suspensions and offseason drama, will Drew Brees and the new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo keep the team afloat?
Eagles - Finishing off 2011 in style, can Vick and the explosive Eagles bounce back into the postseason?

It's unfortunate that it is on at the same time as the Pats-Titans, but I'm very curious to see the Bills-Jets in week one. Not really 'must-see teams', but that seems to be like a game worth watching.
 
I'll start by saying every single team on the Patriots schedule is a "must see" sometime before they play them.

I don't have must see teams, other than the Patriots. Any NFL game between 2 decent teams is must see if I have the time to watch.

Fixed. .

Yep, the sleeping dog is going to awaken and people counting on the Packers as if they are untouchable could be quite surprised.
