Why not the 9ers?
Patsies or Squeelers, especially if there are pre-game champsionship ceremonies.
The Steelers would be great, but I think that past history shows that it would have to be the Patriots. They love post season rematches, and they like to think that we have a little rivalry going. I guess that the Cowboys/Giants game could be an argument for doing the Ravens/Steelers, but that week 17 game between them pretty much was a play-off game.
I'd say Patriots, since the Steelers are obviously going to be a Monday or Sunday Night game anyways.
It will be the Pats I think, they like to have conference game rematches usually, Pit is a good shot too, GB is the dark horse. I'm so bored of the big games with Pit and NE, so I'd really really like to see a more unique opponent here for once and play GB.
Steelers...almost no bigger draw than a Ravens Steelers game for ratings.
I think the Pats will be number 1 option, GB #2, Houston #3, Pittsburgh #4. I doubt the give the Ravens/Steelers as an opener @Baltimore 2 of 3 years.
If we win, the favorites have got to be either NE or Pittsburgh. Houston and Green Bay are less likely options, IMO.
Can't happen. If the Orioles played in the afternoon the parking lots might not clear in time. In fact it could be lots of extra innings and the teams could be playing at the same time, which would be a HUGE cluster.
If any team played first it would be the Ravens since regular season NFL games are limited to one overtime, and I don't really see that happening because of logistics.
We won't get a Thursday opener in any case, the Orioles are already scheduled for a home game on 9/5 and 9/12.
