Schedules are out and the season kicks off with Bills/Rams. Thanksgiving is Bills-Lions, Giants-Packers and Pats-Vikings, which doesn't seem abjectly dire. And they did go with three games on Christmas day, with Pack-Dolphins, Broncos-Rams, and Bucs-Cards, which, aside from that first game, are going to absolutely slaughter whatever the NBA throws out there that day.
My Bucs get five prime time games, but good lord this opening schedule: at Dallas, at New Orleans, Green Bay, Kansas City. That's brutal.
