Opening Schedule Tweaks

Last week the NFL announced that the Giants will christen their new stadium by playing the first regular season game on Sunday September 12th, and the Jets will play the following night on Monday Night football, so both NY teams get to play in the new stadium on opening weekend. It is not a bad idea and a good compromise for both teams, especially the Jets who now feel slighted about everything. Also, the NFL announced that the Jets will get to host the Thanksgiving Night game on NFL Network. With these moves being announced, here is my revised opening weekend marquee matchups and Thanksgiving games:
