With the college football season having its first full slate with Week 1 action on Saturday, it’s time to look ahead to what NFL games are on today.
Except there aren’t any.
The NFL regular season does not begin for another few days, when the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys in the annual NFL Kickoff game on Thursday night. The first Sunday with a full slate of football games is next week, on Sept. 7.
In the meantime, there are a few college football games taking place this Sunday, including one matchup between two top-10 teams in the afternoon.
NFL fans will have to wait one more week to get their fill of professional football action.
