Oh this makes me so happy!!! My favorite season — Football isn’t that far away!! The NFL schedule is going to be officially announced & released tonight at 8p on ESPN2. Hit the jump for some details…
Via ESPN:
The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are expected to host the annual kickoff game on Thursday, Sept. 4.
The NFL’s three London games are already set — Miami at Oakland at 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 28, Detroit at Atlanta at 9:30 a.m. ET on Oct. 26 and Dallas at Jacksonville at 1 p.m. ET on Nov. 9.
Among the other highlight games is a Super Bowl rematch, with the Denver Broncos at Seattle, along with San Francisco at Denver, New England at Green Bay, and Philadelphia at Indianapolis.
This is likely the final year in which 12 teams make the playoffs. Within the next year, NFL owners are expected to vote on the addition of one more playoff team per conference, allowing each conference to have seven playoff teams.
