NFL schedule leaks for other teams

[Carson]

Lol. Always some 'splainin'. 7 of 9 on the road. Show me another place that's happened. If that happened to us it would be bloody murder bias. To a division rival, it's actually nothing.

I broke it down why it’s not as bad as you think. Dallas travels the same mileage as New York does.

22,620 miles for Dallas. 22,614 for New York.

I’ll take the early travel to get the super late Bye week (they don’t leave home from November 19th until December 17th) and finish 5 of 7 at home to push into the playoffs

The Eagles potential schedule starting with week 9 looks tough for the later half of the season.

Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys, Seahawks is brutal. They should jump out early but the rest of the east should gain some ground there

7 game stretch of 2022 playoff teams in a row...that's insanity

Jets on Black Friday AND Christmas Eve???

The love affair with ARod is stronger than ever.

Gametime - 1pm
Packers play a 1pm EST/Noon CST game too.
Xmas Eve is on Sunday -- probably the majority of games will be in that time slot, with a couple of west coast starts 4:30 EST/3:30 CST/ 1:30 PST ...and a SNF matchup.
Pretty much will mirror a standard NFL Sunday schedule, minus two or three games played on Saturday Dec. 23rd.

but, but, mara and goodell are buddies and there is obviously a conspiracy against us...

shut up

The positives are 5 of 7 at home to end, late bye week and they don’t travel for over a month.

This is massive when injuries pile up

 

[Motorola]

Right all games as usual, except they plan on 3 Christmas Day games.

And probably three games on Saturday the 23rd.

GMen go 4-3 or 5-2 in those games...they will be licking their chops about the last part of their schedule being mostly at MetLife.

Dallas has been close to finishing 7 of 10 on the road.
Probably not true but close to it. however we always finish with more road games than home. I doubt that changes tonight.

But look at the NYG this way, the get to finish 5 of 7 at home. I wish Dallas could finish 4 of 7, that is too much to ask though.

Exactly. Home from mid November until mid December with a late bye.

9-0...perhaps

I understand the Lions are supposed to be pretty good, but a non playoff team in the Thursday Night opener against the Super Bowl champs. That's a terrible first game specially with the Bills, Bengals, Eagles or even the Dolphins on their schedule.

But was has been going on behind the scenes- and will be coming to light now and the future- is the broadcast networks have a veto power sort of in place.
The new arrangement is that ALL NFL GAMES on Sunday are no longer locked into the traditional conference agreement from decades past.
Basically means every NFL game is up for bid for all the networks to bid = pay the most for to get that matchup.
- NFC v. NFC and AFC v. AFC is no longer a lock on FOX and CBS, respectively
- AFC on the road v. NFC is no longer a lock on CBS
- NFC on the road v. AFC is no longer the standard on FOX

Once the entire schedule is released in a few hours, everyone wil see what the new proceedings took place.
In addition to the broacast networks - NFL teams actually HAVE THE POWER TO DICTATE WHERE AND WHEN A FEW OF THEIR GAMES ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE.

Don't forget early January.

Commanders / Cardinals week 1. Easy dub for Washington

Consider it from the NFL’s perspective:

It’s opening night, and the only game for 3 days. They’re going to get similar viewership if they put up the Lions or the Eagles. So why waste the Eagles game? Save that to maximize a later prime time game

You're kicking off a brand new season and you're getting quality numbers no matter where you slot them down the line. But the Lions?? That's just ridiculous. A Super Bowl rematch is how you kickoff a season. Not some garbage game that they'll try to hype up. It's crap. Even the Bengals, Bills or Dolphins. All much better matchups for a primetime season opener than a team that's just hoping to finally squeak out a division win in 23.

Well what do you know? Exactly as I said: I have NEVER seen that happen to a team before. If that were the Cowboys, this site would have crashed. Lol.

Lol. Now we're breaking down mileage. You ask any team whether they'd like to start and finish on the road or play a stretch of 7 of 9 games on the road at any point in the season and they'd all take the former. Love the 'splainin' tho. No shortage of creativity.

It’s tough. But like I said earlier, if they can ride this stretch and be around .500 or above, they have 5 of 7 at home and a late bye week for rest.

Sucks early. Great advantage late!
