Patriots-Raiders to open NFL season on Sept. 8

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The NFL champion Patriots will open the season Sept. 8 with a home game against the Oakland Raiders. The Thursday night opener has become a tradition. This will be the fourth such opener, with the others played in Giants Stadium, FedEx Field and, last year, also at Gillette Stadium.

In announcing the opening weekend’s national TV schedule, the league also placed the NFC champion Eagles on the road for the first Monday night game. Philadelphia will be at Atlanta in a rematch of the NFC championship game.

that game might not be a bad one but last year the Raiders sucked so I don't understand why this is the opening game probably just because they have Randy Moss now

I hope that Moss will destroy the pats secondary.

Oakland should be very competitive this season.
