The 2013 NFL season is officially here, with the annual Kickoff Game featuring the defending Super Bowl Champions taking place tonight. Of course, the Baltimore Ravens don't get to have the traditional home game this year to celebrate their Lombardi Trophy winning season from last year, thanks to a scheduling conflict with the Baltimore Orioles, so they will open on the road in a rematch of the division round of the playoffs last year, facing the Denver Broncos.
The SB Nation NFL Preview
32 SB Nation NFL bloggers predict the 2013 season.
While we have to wait a few more days for the Miami Dolphins to kickoff for the first time this year, the simple fact that tonight's game is real, meaningful, football is more than enough to excite any NFL fan. Of course, we have a live thread for it. Join us here to discuss all the action as the game unfolds.
As usual, keep pictures to a minimum, and appropriate, in a live thread. I will remove pictures that are inappropriate and they can lead to warnings and/or bannings.
Do not request or post links to illegal internet streams of the game (instant temporary ban if you do).
