ARCHIVOS MR PLAYBOOK (2008)

The 2008 NFL season schedule is out.

The season starts on thursday Sep. 4 with the Washington Redskins visiting the Super Bowl Champs N.Y. Giants.

There's a lot of discontent around the league about the strength of the schedule of the New England Patriots... who get the easiest schedule with the .387 opponents' 07 winning percentage, compared with the Steelers .598 and the Colts .594 who get the toughest schedule.

With this the Patriots can extend their winning season record to 23... cause the first real test will be the visit to San Diego on Oct. 12... and who knows... they even might go undefeated again, they only face 4 teams that went to the playoffs last season (Chargers, Colts, Steelers and Seahawks).

The must see games of the season are:

Patriots at Colts - Nov. 2: Two of the greats... Brady vs Manning.
Colts at Chargers - Nov. 23: Manning, Vinatieri seeking redemption.
Patriots at Chargers - Oct. 12: Unfinished business for Tomlinson.
Giants at Cowboys - Dec. 14: Cowboys couldn't beat 'em when it really mattered.
Steelers at Browns - Sept. 14: Always a classic.
Jaguars at Colts - Sept. 21: Jaguars have lost past three in Indy.
Cowboys at Packers - Sept. 21: Aaron Rodgers played well at Dallas.
Steelers at Patriots - Nov. 30: Schedule sends Steelers to New England... again.
