I think Dallas will get more than 1 MNF game I think it very well could be Houston. MNF wants the ratings the Cowboys bring, they will have them more than once

@ Indy, Thursday Night, week 1

I would bet that the opening Thursday Night game will be the rematch of the Saints and Vikes.

I thought that game always included the SB Champ? Oh I get it, you think the Saints will be that. Maybe.

Wouldn't mind playing in that game. Stretches out the season a bit and gives you a little extra rest heading into week 2.

We play at Ind and get the Saints at Home. Do they usually have the SB Champ play that game at home?

I don't know who is going to win and not predicting NO. Yes the SB team has been given the opening Thursday game but I would not be surprised to see that game be the rematch of the NFC Championship game

We have some of the best non-division teams we play on the road.

Ind, Hou, Min, GB, Arz. That's a lot of appealing potential primetime games. And of course we have road dates in Phi, NY and Was.

It's a tough call because you know the league wants to get a few Cowboy home games in primtime for sure.


Something to consider........Romo has not lost a primetime road game. He's like 10-0!

But is that game always in the the SB Champs home field? I think it is and that would reduce the number of appealing match-up choices.

Of course if IND wins, you'd think our game with them would be at the top of the list.

He's 11-0 in prime time road games.

I doubt they'd put Indy/Dallas as the season opener. The Thursday Night game is going to get big ratings regardless of who's playing. They don't want to put Indy/Dallas that week. They might save that for November sweeps.

This year it was steelers/titans. Steelers were superbowl champs and the titans won the most games in football last year.

I think they want a big game for that opener because that could get the season started off with a bang. They could market it for weeks and hype it up so much.

Indy/Dallas would be a great matchup. Indy is a very popular team and we are america's team. I hope its this game because i live in indy and I am getting tickets to it!!!! What an opener it would be!

IMO, the Saturday Night NFLN game will be V Green Bay first week of December...but that may be just wishful thinking.

And i don't think they would put a game as big as cowboys colts on nfl network. Now i know they game this year against the saints was big, but nobody expected the saints to be as good as they are. And many people were picking the cowboys to finish 3rd in the division.

It will most likely be the opening thursday game. But if not, it will definitely be a sunday nighter

I don't think we'll get a primetime game with Houston. There are too many good teams the Cowboys play in 2010. At best, I think the game against Houston will be a doubleheader anchor game.
