Just wondering if anyone has any insight as to if Dish and the NFL are going to get an agreement before the season starts.

In some years, they did the second Sunday for free instead of the first one. Since this contract was reached (and the channels were restored) literally at the last minute, I would not expect the free preview until at least next week.
