NFL Schedule Week 1: Complete Guide to TV, Radio and Live Streams

Week 1 of the NFL Season begins this Thursday and the long, boring offseason is finally coming to a merciful conclusion. There are 16 action-packed games scheduled this week spanning across Thursday, Sunday and Monday.

The defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers will start the season off for us, playing at home in Lambeau Field against the 2010 champs, the New Orleans Saints. This should be a great game and one you won’t want to miss, nor should you have any excuse as it is nationally televised.

On Sunday, we get to see the new look New York Jets showcase their re-tooled roster and perhaps start another playoff run as they take flight against the Dallas Cowboys in a nationally televised night game.

Monday has not one but two games for everyone to watch, starting with the New England Patriots going against their division rival Miami Dolphins. Will the Pats’ marquee offseason acquisitions, Chad Ochocinco and Albert Haynesworth, prove they were worth the risk, or will the Dolphins spoil their debut?

After this, we move out west to Denver where the Broncos will be squaring off against the Oakland Raiders in an AFC West battle. The Raiders did not lose once to a division rival last season, but can they continue that streak on Monday night?

Those are the must watch, nationally televised Week 1 games, but there is plenty of other local NFL action to satisfy your cravings. Take a look at the schedule below to find out when your favorite team is playing and how you can watch or listen to them.
