2026 NFL Schedule and early leaks

Post by Rabidraider »

The NFL will reveal the full schedule for the 2026 season on Thursday night, but they have announced one marquee Week 1 game on Monday.

The first Sunday Night Football matchup of the season will see the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face the Giants on NBC on September 13. It will be the eighth time in 15 seasons that the two NFC East clubs have faced each other in Week 1.

Could it be the Mendoza effect?

Hopefully. Bc nobody wants to see primetime Kirk Cousins.

There is no way that is our schedule. I would love 6 prime time games but that comes with us being good enough to warrant 6 prime time games. We are not there yet.

That pretty much blows up that fake schedule.

Surprised… I would think the first 6 weeks for the chiefs would be a cake walk in case Mahomes isn’t back til October

That thought is the result of a fan generated belief that the league wants the Chiefs to be coddled.

Strength of schedule has been released. How come the Raiders are always in the top 10 for hardest schedule? It has to be more than we’re just in the AFC West, but it always seems to me we have a tough schedule year in and year out.

Well quite obviously they are intentionally out to get us because The Old Man sued everyone repeatedly and they hate him for it.
