Pats.
just what i was thinking.....and it is possible by the way since they do have the Pats as one of their home opponents for the upcoming season

other teams could be the Broncos....and Saints maybe the Titans if they plan on briningin in a TV audience

I'd rank the possibilities like this

1. Pats
2. Broncos
3. Saints
4. Titans
5a. Chiefs
5b. Jags
7. Bucs
8. Texans

Definitely Colts v. Pats! No question.

Always a good game.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I hope the worst for Brady and Bellichick as always.

[RockStar36]

I could see the Saints for some reason.

[CuseJetsFan83]

my gut is saying saints for 2 reasons..........

1. both were playoff darlings
2. NFL will save ne/ind for primetime later in the year

if it is NE i wont have a problem with that, as long as INDY can take care of business

It's a shame it can't be the Bills and Dolphins.

It's a shame it can't be the Bills and Dolphins.

It IS a shame. It hasn't been a real rivalry since Kelly vs. Marino. And both teams haven't had a winning record in the same season since 1999.

Last year it was the reigning Super Bowl champ and the Dolphins, a team that was a pre-season AFC favorite. They had won a lot of games towards the end of the previous season and had generated some excitement by picking up Culpepper. So following that trend to some extent, my guess would be the Titans. Reigning rookie of the year QB versus reigning Super Bowl champ QB.

Colts/Pats and I laugh my ass off as Brady is carted off with a season ending injury.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

I know it seems like a bit much but please understand I have a special hatred for Brady. I don't want to kill him I just want him not alive anymore.

[Ebenezer]

they had a press release to tell us that the defending SB champs would play on Thursday night? that's a given...

[clumping platelets]

Saints

[Ebenezer]

Pats or Saints...my bet is also Saints; they will leave the Pats for another mid-season Monday night game.

[BILLSROCK1212]

are they gonna have 2 opening monday night games again this year?

[lightningbolt444]

i hate that i understand that give the big teams a monday night game but come on its alwaysd the same teams hell the packers and 49ers always seem to get one they have sucked for a while the cards and the dolphins always seem to get one so why not buffalo why cant they do a monday night game that the bills play in ie. bills v pats or bills v dolphins i accually cant stand how pointless monday night games are now i think they should be specially reserved for division rivalries no wow how big is the city that the team plays in because ill tell you what we may be a small market city but we have some of the best and knowledgable fans in the league and also if you ask me there is a pretty large fan base for buffalo as well when is the nfl going to realize that just because the city isnt as big doesnt mean you can shaft its fans im sick of the buffalo bills being a forgoten team in this league i understand we've been mediocre at best for a long time now but we were one of the great franchises that really made the nfl boom in the 90's do they forget that.
