The 2015 National Football League season is finally here. Forget all the fake stuff, the long and boring training camps, and the constant rhetoric about how each team is greatly improved. Come Thursday night, Sunday afternoon and night, and Monday evening, we are finally going to see how good each NFL team really is.

The schedule is packed with plenty of interesting contests, and the New York Jets hosting the Cleveland Browns. Sorry, not every game is going to capture the imagination (unless you live for pain, then the idea of Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick has your socks across state lines).

Of course, the best part about Week 1 is we can finally focus on the field and stop consistently rambling about DeflateGate, the court system and PSI. When did it become necessary to have a law degree to write about/watch/enjoy football? It’s a sad time.

Without further introduction, here are the five best games of Week 1, with TV coverage and odds included just for you.
