Preseason
The preseason games kick off with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 8 PM Eastern on NBC. The Cowboys and the Bengals will battle it out at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
Some of the games of note in the preseason will be the Giants and Jets battling, New York style for the first game at the Meadowlands Stadium. You can see this game on ESPN. The Bills host the Colts in Toronto on 8/9/2010 at 7:30 PM Eastern. The exact dates and times for the preseason and regular season were announced back in April.
Regular season
The first NFL, regular season game will kick off on 9/9/2010, starting at 8:35 PM Eastern, with the 2009 Super Bowl champs New Orleans Saints (go Saints!) hosting the Minnesota Vikings. I think this will be a repeat of the 2009 NFC Championship Game and the right team will win again.
The Giants and Jets will each play again at home that first week at the new Meadowlands Stadium. The Giants will play on Sunday with a 1 PM EDT kickoff against the Panthers and the Jets will play against the Ravens for the first Monday Night Football game. For the late night game, the Chargers will travel to play their division enemy the Chiefs, marking the first time that a team from outside the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones has played in, or hosted, the “late” (10:15 p.m. ET) game. The game will start at 9:15 p.m. Kansas City time (Central).
Man, I cannot wait to see helmets clashing and turf flying! Happy fantasy footballing.

I’m jonesin’ for football badly and even looking forward to the preseason games. It will be great to watch my two favorite teams duke it out for the opener on 9/9! I have to say that the Saints are the better team and will probably win but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a real battle against the Vikings. Go Brees. What a disappointing season with the Chargers back in 2001 but you pulled it together to become a great QB!
