2011 NFL Schedule Released In Full: Packers-Saints To Open Season

So they have the best team in the regular season last year in the Patriots, along with the four participants in the AFC and NFC championship game last year.

The Ravens best primetime game will come against the Steelers (and likewise for Pittsburgh). This game is always a classic. They’ll open the season against each other and then meet on Sunday Night Football in Week 9.

The Jets vs. Patriots game last year was hyped to the max so expect more of the same this year when the two meet on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

The 2011 NFL schedule has been released in its entirety so we know which teams will play and when they’ll play. What we don’t know is who is going to win each game, and who will eventually roll through the playoffs to become the next Super Bowl champion.

There are, however, odds on the next Super Bowl champ. Bodog.com has a set of Super Bowl odds and we figured with the NFL schedule released it would be a good time to revisit those.

After loading up latter end of the 2010 schedule with divisional rivalry games produced plenty of pre-playoffs drama, the NFL has decided to keep the practice going in its 2011 schedule. Every team plays a divisional opponent in Week 17, meaning we could get to enjoy another NFC West championship game between two sub-.500 teams.

The 2011 NFL schedule has been released. We’ve looked at the Monday Night Football schedule, Thursday Night Football schedule and the Sunday Night Football schedule. But what we’re concerned with now is the Week 1 schedule.

Assuming the NFL lockout is lifted, here are my top three games of Week 1:

Now that the 2011 NFL schedule has been released it’s a good time to look back at strength of schedule. We knew each team’s 2011 opponents the day the 2010 season ended so strength of schedule has been known for some time but with the actual schedule out now it’s relevant again.

The Jets and Colts are third and fourth among those with the toughest schedules so if they make the playoffs, they’ll have earned it.

The entire 2011 NFL schedule has been released and we’ve seen the Monday Night Football schedule and the Thursday Night Football schedule. In my opinion, neither of those two compare to the Sunday Night Football Schedule which is absolutely loaded this year.

Overall, the SNF schedule is completely packed full of great games. NBC sure got hooked up this year. All SNF games will start at 8:20 p.m. (ET).

Assuming we have football next season, we know now the entire 2011 NFL regular season schedule. We’ve looked at the Monday Night Football schedule so now it’s time to take a look at the Thursday Night Football schedule.

The Thursday night games will be on NFL Network (and in the local markets).

The 2011 NFL schedule has been released which means we now know the dates of all the regular season games. It also means we know the Monday Night Football schedule.

Here’s the complete Monday Night Football schedule:

The 2011 NFL schedule is here!

Check out NFL.com for the full schedule. SB Nation will be posting a team-by-team schedule here.

The rest of the season will start on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Of course the caveat to all of this is that the 2011 NFL schedule currently won’t be happening with the NFL lockout. We’ll need some sort of resolution to the lockout in order for the season to go on as scheduled. The league would likely need to have as solution by sometime in August, at the latest, in order for the season to go off without a hitch.

Check out the entire Giants schedule at the Star-Ledger.

There was some talk that the league would schedule the Jets and Giants on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 but apparently that’s not the case.

The Jets are in the NFL’s largest market so including them in one of the primetime games in the first weekend makes a lot of sense. The Cowboys are the NFL’s most popular team so including them in a big game the first weekend will bring in solid ratings.

Who will the Packers host on that day? The NFL schedule will be released at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday night but we can take a guess.

The NFL has confirmed the 2011 regular season schedule will be released on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. (ET). NFL Network (and ESPN) will carry a schedule release special.

The preseason schedule was released last week and plenty of people have been wondering when the regular season schedule will be released. Despite the NFL lockout, the league will release the scheduled slate of games.

Here’s the full list of nationally televised games:

The 2011-12 NFL preseason schedule is expected to be released at some point on Tuesday according to various reports.

This is good news and bad news for football fans.
