The 2012 NFL Schedule has been released, as all 32 teams now know who they are playing and when each game will take place. It is always interesting to see which teams dominate the primetime slate, as well as when divisional foes first meet each other for bragging rights throughout the regular season.
While the Super Bowl champion New York Giants open up the 2012 NFL regular season on a Wednesday night so that everyone can pretend they care about what President Obama has to say the following evening, that game against the Dallas Cowboys should be a great way to kick off the upcoming campaign.
Football campaign, of course. Not that other one that has already been talked about for far too long.
Yet although the Giants vs. Cowboys is a great way to begin, it does not make my list of the Top 10 Games of the 2012 NFL Season. Without further ado, here is a look at the games that did make the cut, in order of when they take place.

April 17, 2012
DENVER- From that infamous footage of his fight with his longtime center Jeff Saturday to the way he controls the field, it’s impossible to buy into the idea that Peyton Manning honestly believes that he’s just a regular Joe on a 52 man roster.
That seems to be the approach he is taking to life in his new digs in Denver or at least that is what he’s projecting.
It could be...
