Note that Monday Night Football games are protected from flex-scheduling, per ESPN's contract; hence, games may only be flexed into 4:15pm kickoffs or Sunday Night Football.

The home team has won more often that not in the Ravens-Steelers match-ups the past 5 seasons.

Rachel__Nichols As expected...it'll be Vikings at Saints to open the NFL season. Roger Goodell confirms on his NFL.com chat.

Impossible. 2 things, The Jets were guaranteed the first MNF Game in week 1, and since they do a double header the second one will be a West Coast Game. Second, check the O's schedule the O's are Home against the Blue Jays for a 7:05PM game on the 13th. You really think that the city of Baltimore will be able to contain the traffic for that night between both the Ravens & Orioles? I don't think so. If the Ravens get a Monday Night Opener it's against the Jets on the road, if we do have a Home Opener that weekend it will be on Sunday Night Football when the Orioles are finishing a road series with Detroit.

Scott Garceau is also saying that they are hearing rumors that it will be Steelers vs. Ravens Monday Night football Week 1.

Here's a leak of the Steelers Sked I found, it has us playing them on Week 4 and Week 13 being the Sunday Night game. With divisional games being played Week 17 if this leak is correct we close out with the Bengals.

Well if that's the Steelers schedule I can only assume that Ben will only be suspended for 4-6 games since their prime time games are backed up including 3 in a row, and Ben will be back by than. Like you said, looks like we have the Bengals in Week 17, hopefully it's at home and not in Cincinnati.

It's a fake. Go back to the website, it says schedule coming soon.

Yeah, but hey it could be right. At first it had said that it was not final until 7PM tonight so who knows. They just said on the SG Show that the Saints and Steelers game would be played on the same day of the World Series. Normally the league stays away from that day to avoid conflicts, but if that was true than we know 3 games for the Ravens, Week 4 & 13 against the Steelers and Week 17 against the Bengals. I would be alright with that, I'm just waiting to see when they play the Panthers.

Interesting. If we are getting an home opener, than it will probably be against the Dolphins, Bucs, Browns, Bengals, Bills or Broncos. The Saints come to the Bank this season but we know they are playing the Vikings in Week 1 and they would have gotten the Thursday Night Opener anyway. If anything it could be against Miami on Sunday Night Football, the Bengals or just a regular 1PM game against someone like the Bills or Bucs.

Apparently the Cowboys will host the Saints on Thanksgiving according to PFT.

Lions Schedule Leaked: Lions Open on the road against the Bears. The next 3 weeks for the Lions are Eagles(Wk 2), Vikings(Road), and Packers(Road Game). Patriots play Lions on Thanksgiving. http://www.detnews.com/article/20100420/SPORTS0101/4200425/Lions-open-at-Chicago--click-here-for-complete-schedule

SG Show just said the Giants will open up against the Panthers. Also it is likely the Jets will play the Dolphins in Week 1 on MNF against the Jets.

Giants schedule Leaked too: http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2010/04/giants_2010_regular_season_sch.html

Pretty much confirms the Giants vs Panthers week 1 opener. Huge Week 2 game as we get Eli vs Peyton, which is the Sunday Night Game for Week 2.

[edreedfromtheu]

PLEASE give us the Thanksgiving Game against the Jets?!?!? And let us have our BYE week the weekend before that game! PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP?!?!

[JO_75]

Well I'm hoping for the Jets Thanksgiving game or the Monday Night Opener but it looks more like the Jets will play the Dolphins on Week 1. I'm also hoping for a late bye, like Week 8-9 so that we can be healthy or get healthy for the final stretch to the playoffs.

I'm thinking we'll just have a normal 1PM game on Sunday against the Bucs or Bills. Either way that will be a good way to start off the win, like we started off with the Chiefs last year. I'm thinking more so of the Bucs but that's just my opinion. Looking at leaked schedules, if they are true, than we can pretty much look at those schedules and figure out the Ravens schedule. Look at the Giants, they are on the road against the Texans in week 5, so meaning we won't play the Texans that week.

Redskins Schedule Leaked: Skins have 2 SNF games(Week 1 vs Dallas and Week 6 at Indy) and 1 MNF game(Week 10 vs Philly).
