No way its not in Dallas. Unless maybe Jerruh conceded a Thanksgiving home game to get a Christmas one? Or its just an oversight.
He called it an “educated guess”. Nothing educated about that

St Louis Cardinals actually hosted the Thanksgiving game instead of the Cowboys for a couple years in the mid 1970s.

Would be shocking for that to be the season kickoff game. Thought it would be us or the rams.

EDIT: and indeed it is eagles vs. cowboys. NFL announced it earlier today

With philadelphia and dallas tied up with each other, and I doubt we start with the giants, it's wide open who Washington plays to start the season. 🤔

I'm sticking with my prediction of opening against the Bears on SNF or MNF

It baffles me how nobody knows how the schedule works. Someone on twitter said the kickoff game should’ve been Eagles chiefs. I replied by saying that’s quite literally impossible, because the eagles don’t host the chiefs, the chiefs host the eagles. His response?

“ Wait, why we acting like that game couldn’t have easily been a Philly home game??! League could’ve easily made that happen. You get two home and two away games against that division.”

Then again, watch they pick Dallas to open vs Philly....Although seems like Dallas vs NYG is a opening Sunday matchup a lot of years
Shocker!

Maybe we get NYG to open then. Although I can see us hosting Detroit now on SNF

I agree. Perfect SNF opener with the 2 top QBs from 24 draft. Chicago has pope energy now, Hail Mary for them?

You know there’s a set rotating formula with the schedule that was created in 2002 when the nfl realigned. Every team got to play each on a regular basis. Before that, some teams rarely got to play each other ; as schedule was only based on where you finished.

They modified that when they expanded to 17 games and will do again when they go to 18.

We aren’t opening with a loser. The nfl will want a great matchup to open with.
