Per Profootballtalk.com and Mike Florio



Three of the four nationally-televised games played in Week One of the NFL regular season will feature traditional division rivalries.

Joining Redskins-Giants on Thursday night and Vikings-Packers on Monday night will be Broncos-Raiders, live from the Black Hole, according to the Denver Post.

The Vikings-Packers and Broncos-Raiders games will form the traditional (i.e., three years and counting) Week One Monday night double-header on ESPN. It’s the second time for the Vikings and the Raiders to be involved in the two-pack of MNF games.




I have heard rumors of Dallas and Seattle for Sunday night

Good to see the Vikings get a crack at Favre-less GB to start off the season.

I can understand the other, big rivalry games but Bears v.s Colts? The Bears aren't the same team NFC Champion team they used to be. I would of liked Colts/Titans or Colts/Jaguars personally.

They both were beaten by Detroit last year, and both by good margins. Seriously, if the Lions beat you more than you beat the Lions, you shouldn't get any prime time games.

I am not too thrilled with the Raiders/Broncos matchup either, but you have to keep in mind that the extra Monday nighter is always one played on the west coast. The best team to use given that criteria is the Chargers, but this probably means they are opening on the road.

the broncos keep getting national attention like this cause they equal ratings, regardless of how terrible they're gonna be this year. and the broncos vs the raiders is a marquee nfl rivalry that always has 1 nationally televised game
