The first full, glorious weekend of NFL football is upon us. The Thursday night kickoff between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers was great and all, but there's nothing like a Sunday afternoon and evening of lying around, bouncing from game to game.
NFL Week 1 TV schedule and online streaming options for Sunday
Pro football is finally back!

What's more, we get a double helping of Monday Night Football. The Detroit Lions and New York Giants kick off around 7 p.m. ET, and then the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals face off in a West Coast late game.
To help you sort through all the action on Sunday, we’ve picked a game from each time slot that we’ll be watching:
New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons (Sunday, 1 p.m.): The Falcons were miserable last year, but they have too much talent not to turn things around this year. If that's the case, then this could be an early indicator of who comes out on top in the NFC South, though the Carolina Panthers will have something to say about that as well.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys (Sunday, 4:25 p.m.): Injuries and suspensions have left massive question marks on both defenses. The Niners have to replace NaVorro Bowman (injury) and Aldon Smith (suspension), and the Boys are down Sean Lee (injury), Demarcus Lawrence (injury) and Orlando Scandrick (suspension), not to mention the offseason departures of DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos (Sunday, 8:30 p.m.): Manning vs. Luck, Round 2. Andrew Luck got the better of his predecessor last season, but this time he has to head to Mile High, where Peyton Manning has lost only three times during his stay in Denver.
