I like early games, Packers have 8 and at the end of the season that may change. Overall a decent schedule set up for them, have seen some early predictions, not going there yet!

Well Bills were dealt the exact opposite with 2 of final five games against the Pats.

Bills have 14 early start games! I also prefer the early games.

I wonder whether it is important to players if they have prime time games, or early starts? I know some Packers players don't like waiting all day for evening games, especially out of town.

When you're getting the big bucks to play talking too much about the schedule, game time might not be a good look!

with the 5th easiest schedule, I see the Vikings finishing the regular season at either 16 - 0 or maybe 15 - 1 if they feel like losing one game to rest all of their players.


Denver...not so good

I would like to see the Vikings at least make it to the Super Bowl again.


Winning it is out of the question since they haven't in their over half century of playing football.


( even begging , begging,begging, to get Bret Favre to come out of retirement couldn't even get them into the Super Bowl match up )

Strength of schedule based on opponents win/loss % from previous year is almost useless. What team of the 32 is the exact same team from the year before? I don't think a supposedly easier schedule benefits any team.

Vikings host SBXLII, I'm sure they feel playing in the SB, home stadium and all would be awesome. However, getting that far will be the tricky part. I don't even see them winning the division but anything can happen!

their best chance of winning a Super Bowl was close to 50 years ago.
