I have nothing else to prove this other than the Marlins schedule. The first Sunday of the NFL season the Marlins are on the road and the next two Sunday's they are at home. Common logic would suggest that we would be opposite of the Marlins unless we had an early season Monday Night game (no way!). So I would have to believe our first four weeks, unless we had a bye would be home-away-away-home.

Great points, I may dive farther into this today and try and narrow down the possible opponent...Be back later.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we won't be on Monday Night, Sunday Night, Thursday Night, Thanksgiving, or anything. We will be playing Sundays at 1pm a whole lot. Well, actually, we play both of the west divisions, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a good amount of 4pm starts.
 
Good point about the Marlins being home the following two Sundays. But I do remember the Marlins were on the road last year for opening day and we still starting the season IN Washington.
 
Your logic makes perfect sense.
 
Well ive narrowed it down to 6...Ive ruled out both NE and SD assuming they will get some "opening" day prop..

Could likely eliminate the Jets and Bill's considering we havent opened with a divisional opponent in many years...

That leaves Oakland, SF, Seattle and Baltimore.....

Baseball is more relevant in SEA and BALT as far as scheduling goes considering CA has like 10 sports teams around at the same time...that being said

SF-Has opened with a divisional opp 3 straight years and an NFC opp every year since 1999.

OAK-maybe the NFL really does hate A Davis..the Raiders have opened on the east coast 3 out of 5 years!!

SEA-I know they are not in the same stadium as the Mariners but I doubt the Seahawks open at home considering its September baseball and the Yankees are in town to face the up and coming Mariners.

BAL-The only remaining team with ANY type of subplot, with the Ravens not only being Miami's only win...but now our old HC is the OC..Also the Orioles are home that day so I would say they're on the road also.

I think I have it down to two...BAL and OAK.....

The game that would have ANY relevance as far as hype goes is Baltimore, Im sure they want revenge for "Lemon to Camarillo" the old Cane stars in Lewis and Reed, Cam factor included I say....

SEPT 7TH--BAL@MIA


-ofcourse the nfl could go against the norm and schedule the Bills...who knows?? Just seems the most likely opp.
 
i think the Marlins need there own Field i hate the dolphins Sharing the same Place as a Baseball team
 
Well, you can't go wrong with either Oakland or Baltimore as a home opener. With Baltimore, the storylines will be: "Sparano vs. Harbaugh" and "The return of Cameron." If Oakland is the home opener, the storyline will be: "John Beck vs. Jamarcus Russell"
 
Logic is logical to the logistics of the opener :lol:

Hmmm NFL Guru?? Mods can you please attach that nickname after the schedule is released, also a private line for Dolphins "futures" is in the works..dont miss my special next month on my "100% positive" 7 round mock draft!

My crystal ball will show the 08 regular season game by game results score by score!!

You would think with all this psychic ability a guy could afford to be a Finheaven VIP!

I am GLAD we wont be on Monday Night Football. I can honestly say that with Kornheiser and Tirico in the booth, even if Jaws is there, the games are unwatchable with sound up. If i do even watch a Monday Night Football game it's with Westwood 1's audio where Marv Albert and Boomer call the game.
