It's even more impressive when you take into account that we already know every single opponent and it's just the order and times (subject to change) that gets released!
I think the increase in interest in bestball fantasy football is a key driver here. Understanding bye weeks and week 16/17 matchups is critical for BB and there are tens of thousands if not more people playing BB these days. Underdog has a tournament that will pay out 15M in prizes and that is just one of the dozens of contests they will hold leading up to regular season.
Interesting. I thought the league was smart to make last year's opener Lions @ Chiefs, giving the Lions a national platform. Ratings are going to be pretty good for the opening game no matter what especially with continued TSwift connections (right?), so this year I would have expected the scheduler makers might have wanted to feature a team like the Texans or Chargers that needed a little attention boost.
Thanks for this! It's a little too early for a W/L prediction (we don't even know who the Pats QB will be for any of these games), but right now Vegas has the Pats W/L over/under at 5.5, and looking at this list to your point it's hard to find 6 games (or even 1, 2, or 3) that I feel confident will be a Win at this point.
that a littie exterme 4 or 5 wins is a safer bet NE and Denver is basiccy the same team right now ex for coaching and ne shouild have a better record because of afc south denver playing afc north plus buf is rebuilding and den has not shows they can win afc west games
its just a gut feeling more than anything i ex brisset to stast the first 2-3 weeks when nix shouild start week 1 if mayo can crete a us vs them and point to 2001 as a rally cry and build for late 2025 2026 u guys might have something and bill will never say or admit this but bill wants u guys at 4 wins or under for 2024 so he can bag see guys they need me
lol jets at best are 11-6 out in round 2 and rodgers has been sliping of at he was in 21
lol u are my dude the jets are a great paper team esp on def 25 years ago i wouild pick a team like the jets but its all about the qb now 4-2 or 5-1 aga the east 3-1 aga the south 2-2 aga the nfc west w aga den l aga pitt w aga minn yeah 11-6 or 12-5 1 L to mia 1 l to pitt 1 l aga hou 1 l aga sf 1 l at sea so can u sweep buff and ne that 50-50 rem NE won @ nyj last season
As @snowmanny says, I’ll happily take another top 5 pick. Trade back a bit and pick up picks for the following year, take a true LT, and giddy up in 2025.
They play two West Coast games so that’s two non-1:00 starts right there. I think they’ll stumble into two more. Then again, the Texans played 16 straight 1:00 games last year before the Week 18 flex.
This could be right! As I've said elsewhere, given the uncertainty on the offensive line and Maye's ongoing development (footwork, etc.), I'm fine if Brissett starts most of the games next year.
Also lol.
I can believe it. Just as I can believe that when it gets closer to the start of the season, and lines change, many betting now will bet again then.

Yeah, Jets @ Pats feels like a good TNF or MNF game -- Rodgers' 1st Jets game at Foxboro, etc.
As a guy living in Jax, this is pretty bad news. They came to Denver so many times when I lived there, and I was excited to go see them and not freezing my ass off.
Woukd think week 8 is their bye. Not necessarily going to play Thursday night. Would hope week 6 is a home game though.
Games on ESPN and TNT are behind a paywall and ESPN has been airing games since the 90s.
