The 2008 schedule has been released and I think there are some very interesting notes here.  The New England Patriots have by far the easiest run.  Not only are they facing the Jets, Bills, Dolphins twice they also face the Cardinals,Seahawks,Rams,& 49ers from the NFC West.  They will face the Raiders,Broncos,Cheifs,Chargers from the AFC West. They will also get the Colts& Steelers.  Can you say undefeated run? The only possible slips may be the Colts,Chargers,Steelers.  Needless to say the Pats will be the odds on favorite to win the AFC.  So which team has the toughest schedule?  Well by the looks of things the Steelers will be hard pressed to make the playoffs.  They will face the Bengals, Browns, Ravens twice.  Then they run into the brutal NFC EAST Cowboys,Giants,Redskins,& Eagles.  Then they play the AFC SOUTH Titans,Colts,Texans, Jaguars.  Then they get the Chargers & Patriots.  They will be playing playoff bound teams almost every week.  If they make the playoffs they will definately be the best battle tested team in the AFC.

There will be 2 games outside the US one in England where the Chargers will face the Saints.  There will be one in Canada  where the Bills will face the Dolphins.

Here are my must see games of the 2008 season

Sept. 7, Cowboys at Browns; Lets see if the Browns are really ready for the big time. This will also be a nice test for the Boys defense against one of the most potent offenses.

Sept. 8, Vikings at Packers: Monday Night Football with out Brett Farve! Aaron Rogers gets the keys to the Packers and will have to face All-Day Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. Divison rivalry, maybe a possible Brett Farve sighting.

Sept. 14, Patriots at Jets: Spygate game will the Pats dismantle the Jets for 100 points as payback?
