Notes on the 2008 NFL Schedule:As all NFL fans know by now, the official schedule was released by the league yesterday and the Eagles seem to be a popular choice for prime time match ups. As MJD points out, the only team with more than the five prime time games the Eagles have is the Dallas Cowboys with six.
The Eagles open up the season at home against the Rams which should be a good warm up before a huge divisional game against the Cowboys in Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. Besides the usual NFC East rivals, fans of road trips may want to consider Chicago in September and perhaps even San Francisco in week six. Another easy road trip could be a trip down I-95 to catch the Eagles play in Baltimore in week twelve.
The game that jumps out the most though is an 8:00 p.m. Thanksgiving match up against the Arizona Cardinals set for Lincoln Financial Field. Many fans are unhappy that the game will be televised on the NFL Network but I don't think this should really prove too serious of a problem. Simply make sure you plan your Thanksgiving feast at a relatives house where they have the NFL Network.
