More often than not these games will be exciting and close. Or at least a safer bet for a exciting game.
But no, they allways have to pick some marquee matchup that looks good on paper, but stinks in reality. Everyone knows the majority of the strong teams play in the AFC right now. Why pick the defending Super Bowl Champions to play a team from the weaker conferance right now? To prove how lopsided it really is?

Weren't you afraid that NO could possibly exploit the Indy defense?
Weren't you considering betting on NO.
It was a good matchup and people were all hyped up for it. Just turned out to be a blowout.. blowouts happen.
Besides.. the opening game on a thursday night isn't really the marquee game.. the big ones all year will be on Sunday Night. That's where you'll get your divisional rivalries starting with Giants-Cowboys.
