First, we will highlight the games that have me beyond excited. Week 1 brings us a game that was in doubt the second the NFL went into lockout mode.
The 2011 football season hits ESPN with the New England Patriots taking on the Miami Dolphins. There is nothing sweeter than watching the well-oiled machine that is the Patriots play. They are already proving to be one of the deepest teams in the league.
In week 9, we get a clash between playoff hopefuls. By that time, we will know if the Eagles are the real deal or just pretenders. The Bears will offer a team that is perennially in the mix late in the season.
Week 12, gives us one last clash of titans. Tom Coughlin will either be on the hot seat, or well on his way to a post season berth. What I am eager to see is Drew Brees and his fresh young weapons.
