Generally speaking, CBS has the rights to the AFC games and FOX takes care of the NFC games. Any inter-conference games are split. For instance, an NFC team will appear on CBS 2-3 times per year and vice-versa.
With NFL Sunday Ticket as popular as it is, People aren't just watching their local broadcasts but also the out of market games as well. I always enjoyed watching the out of market games and will continue to this year with websites such as Firstrowsports and Batmanstream.
The way I watch the games is usually watch is try to find one CBS game and one FOX game going on at the same time for each game slot. (1ET and 4:05-4:25 ET). This gives me a good balance of what teams I watch over the course of the season.
Here are the games I'm interested in for Week one on top of the four National TV games this week:
Browns vs Eagles 1PM CBS
The Browns had a disappointing preseason scoring a mediocre 44 points in their four preseason games. This will be a competitive game though as the Eagles might not be much better. With the NFC East weak however, this is a early must win game for Philadelphia.
Vikings vs Titans 1PM FOX
Vikings looked poised for a date with Arizona in the Divisional round until Blair Walsh missed a field goal most high school kickers would make. They travel to Tennessee to take on Marcus Mariota and the Titans who haven't made the playoffs since 2008.
Dolphins vs Seahawks 4:05PM CBS
Three letters - LOB! Pretty fun watching Seahawks games these days as their defense will once again be really good. Oh ya, and the crowd gets just a touch loud too sometimes.
Giants vs Cowboys 4:25PN FOX
Giants - Cowboys games are always interesting and once again Sunday will be no exception. With Tony Romo sidelined, we will see how well they do against Eli Manning as he plays his first game without older brother Peyton in the league.
