Im calling it right now there is a very very good chance that the NFL will schedule the Steelers for the opening game on the Thursday night to start the season seeing that the Steelers are scheduled to play in New Orleans next season. I dont know who else would be an option for the Saints to play on their schedule but the NFL will look at the fact that these were the last 2 Super Bowl winners and the Steelers are a huge ratings draw to begin with. Those 2 reasons right there I believe are enough to schedule the Steelers to open the season in New Orleans next year. I personally would not like opening the season in New Orleans seeing that it's such a tough tough place to win and that offense is so potent. And plus the team that opens at home on the Thursday night that has won the Super Bowl has never lost that game since they started doing that back in 2004 they are 6-0 I believe...So if your rooting for the Saints to win the Super Bowl I just gave you a pretty good reason for you maybe not too seeing that the Steelers could open up in New Orleans next year and be staring at a strong possibility of an 0-1 record...Just some food for thought and something to keep in mind...
