The first Sunday of the NFL is here, if you missed the preview of the early games check it out here and there are four late games on the schedule and all of the match ups have a former North Carolina football player in them. As usual I have used the combination of UNC Pro’s and ourlads web sites to get my information, along with some stuff I gathered as well. But now, with further ado, let’s get going with the nine games…

And that is it for the games on the first Sunday of NFL for the 2012 campaign. Between these four and the ones before there has been eleven games today that have games that have a touch of carolina blue! With so many former North Carolina football players now at the next level there is a pretty good chance that if you root for an NFL squad you are doing for one that has a former Heel on it.
