NFL SCHEDULES

NFL Team Schedules (Team-by-team)
“Tell It Like It Is” Famous words of Howard Cosell.
Go Bears hosting Purple People Eaters (Vikings) Week 1.
That’s a lot of Kansas City Glaze.
My Buddy Joseph I like to see all the NFL teams on National TV whether they are playoff bound, or high draft pick bound.
Same
I wish I could tell that to NBC whenever they schedule the Chiefs to be on SNF 4 times a year. My Chargers deserve at least 2.
Joseph Rodriguez I am happy that you are A Chargers Fan & there is nothing wrong with Fans in L.A. that they want to watch Chiefs for wrong reasons & that is understanding same thing goes with Chicago with Cheeseheads (Packers), Philadelphia with Cowgirls (Cowboys) & Baltimore with Steelers
I wouldn’t be surprised if NY Giants vs New England and Dolphins vs Steelers get flexed out. Preferably, I’d like to see Rams vs Panthers take the Week 13 MNF spot. And Raiders vs Eagles take the Week 15 MNF spot.
Joseph As an Eagles Fan I would like to see there interconference game vs Silver & Black (Raiders) Week 15 however I really like to be fair to both Steelers & Dolphins Fans & hope they have very good 2025 so they can be on MNF although I am a Fan of NFL having capability to change schedules if utterly need it.
Too many AFC vs NFC matchups. Give me traditional division rivalries and teams battling for the top of their respective conferences. 49ers-Colts, Chiefs-Falcons, Giants-Patriots and Texans-Seahawks do not move the needle.
They just need that Patrick Mahomes glaze
Gerry, I have zero issues with interconference games being on prime time especially now in era of cross-flexing for example LA Rams at Denver plays Thursday evening on Amazon Prime & Buffalo at Denver would be on FOX Game of the Week with 2:25PM local kickoff.
Enjoy these while you can before they all get moved to exclusive streaming on ESPN+.
