Fans outside the NY area hoping to catch a glimpse of the new-look Jets on opening weekend will not get that opportunity. The NFL released its first slate of nationally-televised games and the Jets are not among the stars.
Neither are the Patriots. Has the country tired of loving to hate (or hating to love) them?
The PTL (Prime Time Lineup) for the opening week has the Redskins at Giants on Thursday night -- a game that'll start at 7 p.m. to accomodate actual events -- and then the Bears at Colts on Sunday night with the Vikings at Packers (get ready for your close-up, Aaron Rodgers!) and Broncos at Raiders in a Monday Night double dip.
So the Jets' 2008 season will start on Sunday, Sept. 7, at either 1:05, 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. The full schedule is scheduled to be unveiled later this week.
I put the over/under of nationally televised Jets games this year at 0.5.
Any thoughts?

I'll go over with the Jets-Pats getting a Monday Nighter. Wouldn't bet the ranch on it though.
LOL! I'll go with a push... bet they get one shceduled for later in the season, but get it changed with Flexible schedule!
Hey, dont all teams have to have at least one national game? Or was that changed?
