There Are A Ton Of Good NFL Games On Tomorrow — Here's How You Should Juggle Them All

  x You have successfully emailed the post.

We're two days away from the first NFL Sunday of the season.

The good news: we've got a bunch of good games.

The bad news: they're all on at 1 p.m. (east coast) on Sunday.

The Eagles-Rams, Ravens-Steelers, Lions-Bucs, and Bears-Falcons all kick off at that time.

Here's how you should prioritize them if you don't have a prevailing rooting interest:

1. Ravens-Steelers (CBS) — One of the best rivalries in the sport. These games are always really close and really well-played. This won't be the last meaningful game between these two teams this season.

2. Lions-Bucs (FOX) — Two teams with a ton of young talent and lofty expectations for the first time in a long time. John Freeman and Matt Stafford are both poised to jump to the "elite" level this year. Should be a fun one between two squads that are new to this whole "meaningful games" thing.

3. Eagles-Rams (FOX) — An intriguing one between two teams that are favorites to win their respective divisions. A lot of people like the Rams to pull the upset at home here.

4. Falcons-Bears (FOX) — Everyone thinks the Bears are going to take a huge step back after winning 11 games last year. And everyone thinks the Falcons are going to be an offensive juggernaut. This game will give us a good idea of where each team will end up

The one other quality game — Jets-Cowboys — is at 8:20 p.m. on NBC on Sunday.

GET READY FOR IT: Tomorrow Is Going To Be Huge

Today stocks around the world rallied in dramatic fashion, but there really wasn't that much news, just some (mostly expected) events unfolding in Europe.

Tomorrow, however, should be a pretty big day.

First, news aside, it will be interesting to see whether or not markets continue the new two-day up-trajectory.

As for news, it starts out with the ECB and Trichet's press conference. The calls are growing louder and louder for him to reverse his interest rate hikes from earlier this year, but right now the expectation is that no cuts will be announce tomorrow or even called for.

Recent ECB days have seen major disappointment on the part of the market, as Trichet comes off as oblivious to the fires raging around him.

Also, the BoE is up tomorrow morning, so watch for signs of more QE.

At 8:30 AM, there are two economic reports. Initial claims and the trade deficit. Right now initial claims are one component of the labor data holding up alright, and analysts expect 400K right on the button.

Then there are the two big speeches.

First up is Bernanke at 1:30 with a speech on the economic outlook. Obviously this will be parsed like crazy.

Obama's big jobs speech is at 7:00 and details have already leaked out. Check out out preview of it here.

So, it should be good on policy (BOE, ECB), data (initial claims and the trade gap), and headlines (Bernanke and Obama speaking).

Just want you want for a nice, busy news day.
