I just use a YQL query from the console:
select * from fantasysports.games where game_key in ('nfl')
The results show the actual numeric game id.
Of course, at least in YQL, you never need the actual id, you can use the alpha id, like 'nfl', and it will always give you the current season data.
This page shows the alpha game IDs, like 'nba': http://developer.yahoo.com/fantasysports/guide/game-resource.html#game-resource-desc
