This a "home"game? That would suck

AFC South and NFC West.  On paper that looks good.

Travel sucks though. At London, SF, LA, Arizona. 4 long trips.

At least both teams have to travel for London.

Would not mind having two of the West Coast games be back to back. Stay out there and get 2 done in 2 weeks

I don't know if they will stay out there.  The Ravens had one year where they had 2 back to back west coast games in the same season.  They stayed out there the first time, lost the second game and then the team voted not to do it a second time.  I don't think the loss was the reason they voted no.  The players did not like staying out there off their routine for that long.   That's more than a week of hotel living and practicing in an unfamiliar place.  I doubt many players like that.  

 

It would be an interesting piece of data to see how successful teams are in that second west coast (or east coast for western teams) game when staying vs. coming home and traveling again.

I hope they have as few primetime games as possible.

Opposite for me.  Gimme all the nighttime games we can.  Much easier to watch those.

I was happy to see that. I'm planning on attending.

Expect the Jets to get the max number possible so maybe that will take away from Baltimore.

I don't know about that. Lamar's new contract might offset Rodgers.

As an out of market, west coast fan, the primetime games are often the only chance I get to see them play. So yeah, max those out - which hopefully with Lamar officially on board the league and networks agree.

Are they adding more primetime games this year??


I would expect 4. Seems to be the number for expected playoff teams. 1 Thur, 1 Sun, and 1 Mon all seem like locks.

I'm guessing four or five prime time games + the international game.   Wouldn't surprise me to see Pittsburgh Baltimore on Thanksgiving night since that game never did get played at that time during covid.  I think they get a home Thursday game, home Monday, and maybe two Sunday night games.   

 

The Thursday night game could be a Cleveland game.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a Sunday night against Cincy, and another one against San Francisco.   Maybe a Monday night against Indy or the Rams or Seattle. 

 

We could guess their bye as week 7 since they are playing in London the week before, but I don't think the NFL is holding to that as definite anymore.

 

What sucks for anyone who wants to travel is that games can now be flexed from Sunday to Monday in certain weeks.  That makes it tough for anyone traveling.  If the game you want to go to is in one of the flex weeks, you might have to plan to stay until Tuesday, or take your chances.  Might get worse next year.  Goodell has said he is open to flexing games to Thursday as well.

I used to feel this way but at the ripe old age of 45, I'm struggling to stay awake by halftime. Give me all of the Sunday at 1pm games.

It's not primetime due to federal law, but they added the Black Friday afternoon game on Amazon. It's already announced that'll be MIA @ NYJ. I thought I read somewhere that they are adding a couple weeks of MNF where you have games on ESPN and ABC, so if I read that correctly there will be 2 more games played on Monday.

Primetime games are 5pm on the left coast so I like night games. 10am games are kind of a mess for me.
