By the way...this week isn't the only week that the first game doesn't fall on Sunday. There are several others....including some Saturdays and at least one other Thursday game on Thanksgiving.

you are correct,

here are the games

Week Game
10 DEN @ CLE (Thu., NFLN)
11 NYJ @ NE (Thu., NFLN)
12 CIN @ PIT (Thu., NFLN)
13 TN @ DET (Thu., CBS)
SEA @ DAL (Thu., FOX)
AZ @ PHI (Thu., NFLN)
14 OAK @ SD (Thu., NFLN)
15 NO @ CHI (Thu., NFLN)
16 IND @ JAX (Thu., NFLN)
BAL @ DAL (Sat., NFLN)

Also, I'll throw in my screw the NFL network, because my cable company doesn't carry them and they don't broadcast over air, so I won't get to see a single one of them. Luckily, the only one I really care about is AZ @ PHI week 13, and I will be down my grandparents, and their cable company actually carries the NFL network.

The NFL is screwed up if they think people actually want to pay for cable channels special packages just to watch the game. It should be free and over air like it has for years and years.

Holy crap that's a lot of Thursday games.  I'm so glad I'm not doing a financial football pool this year.  We did one for 4-5 years when I was living in Northern California....and it was always like pulling teeth to get people to turn in their picks so soon after the Monday night game had just ended.

Doesn't the league think of us when they make these drastic changes?
