1. Chiefs will be playing on six different days of the week. Christmas is on Wednesday this year.

2. Both Cowboys - Giant games will be on Thursdays

4. Bears and Steelers set to make history. One of the most bizarre quirks on the 2024 schedule actually happened to two different teams. Both the Bears and Steelers won't play their first divisional opponent until Week 11

9. Home sweet home for Eagles. Philadelphia will get to play four of its final five games at home

13. Bye, bye, bye to the 49ers. The 49ers are facing FOUR teams that will be coming off a bye this year,

1. Regarding that #13, I saw a chart of net rest differential for all the schedules

and the 49ers have the worst in the league at -21 days (article says -22, haven't counted myself). Second year in a row they have the league's worst net rest differential, and worst for any team in a decade, third worst for any team since the expansion/realignment in 2002.

3. Yep. The Ravens are most rested #14

10 years ago after their last Super Bowl win the Ravens started next season with 4 games in 20 days
Monday
Sunday
Thursday
Skip to the next Sunday
I think they had a bye the next week. Asked what he was going to do, one player just looked up and said “Sleep”.

2. #4 is just plain nuts. Whatever scheduling process they use is defective

4. Yeah. The Steelers have to play Baltimore Cincy AND Browns twice in 6 of 7 games

That’s a rough stretch.

Chicago could very well be out of it by then. At least 2 of the games are inside but Green Bay isn’t going to be. 🥶

5. This sucks: Thursday games on Prime, Christmas games on Netflix
