Pulling for My Bears play at Super Bowl LX Champions Seahawks for NFL opening kickoff.
Bills host division rival Super Bowl LX runner up Patriots for first game at Buffalo New Highmark Stadium for first MNF game of 2026 regular season.
i predict you are correct on both
This would be the definition of a mediocre matchup
Mediocre is being generous.
Bill Keep in mind Giants are in America's #1 media market.
I am pulling for a Buccaneers-Cowboys primetime game either Sunday or Monday.
This will be the seventh straight year that the Cowboys start the season on the road. The last time they started at home was against the Giants in 2019. What's with them starting the season on the road this decade?
I would not mind Cowgirls first game of regular season should they play on Gilligan's Island.
Maybe they need to stop play at home every Thanksgiving and how many years in a row now have we been stuck with them on the Thursday after that as well? They still play 8 or 9 home games in alternating years, opening at home isn't costing them. They also don't play games in Europe, one time in London in 2014, so how about balancing that out first.
Sorry JM & pardon me for using word fan & as an Eagles fan I have zero issue with Cowboys playing every Thanksgiving in Big D.
@Dan
Not sure why you replied to me then.
The only reason you aren't a fan of them is because they haven't won lately.
Cowgirls remain very popular even during 30-year drought & look how many people follow the Baseball Cubs when they had 108-year drought & won World Series ten years ago.
