(AP) -- The St. Louis Rams will play three of their first four games at home, including the opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The league schedule released Tuesday includes two nationally-televised games and games against both conference champions.

The Rams will play on Monday night for the first time since 2006, facing the Giants in New York on Sept. 19 in the second game of the season.

Spagnuolo was the Giants' defensive coordinator during their Super Bowl upset over the New England Patriots in 2007.

St. Louis faces the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins in Weeks 3 and 4 before a bye.

The schedule is subject to league owners and the NFLPA ending their impasse.
