| Seahawks could possibly play opening day The only sure thing on this list is that the '08 season will start the same way the '07 season ended -- with the New York Giants on the field. One of the league's newest traditions is that the Super Bowl champion opens the new season with a Thursday night home game.
In '04, the Patriots played host to the Colts. The next year, the Raiders visited New England. In '06, the Steelers and Dolphins played in Pittsburgh. Last year, the Saints went to Indy.
Based on the '08 schedule formula, the Giants' possible opponents are the Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, Seahawks, and Panthers. The obvious candidate would be the Cowboys, but the NFL has yet to arrange a divisional matchup for the season-opening game.
The most likely candidate from outside the NFC East is Seattle because the Seahawks are three years removed from an NFC title and made it to the divisional round in '07.
