There's good news for football fans who were wondering what they'd do with their weekends now that the NFL postseason is in the books - this Saturday, the Alliance of American Football will kick off its inaugural season with four games.

The league is the vision of Charlie Ebersol, the son of NBC executive Dick Ebersol and director of the "30 for 30" documentary "This Was the XFL," who believed the time was right for a second football league to take hold in America.

Ebersol's vision for the league is wide-ranging, embracing interactivity and technology to create something fans have never seen before, while still appealing to those simply looking for a February fix of football.

For now, we can only wait and see how the league plays out. Take a look below at the eight teams that will make up the AAF, including their head coaches, odds to win the title, and some names you might be familiar with on each roster.
