Welcome back inside the Inarver Studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the Big 1050.com.

So NFL schedule released yesterday last night.

I guess 60% of the schedule was released last night.

The rest of the schedule is already out.

But about 60% of the schedule was released last night.

So we go through, we like to go through and look at the schedule once it's out.

I always talk about the rhythm of the schedule, the rhythm of the season, because it does mean something about, you know, how many home games in a row do you end up with at times? Do you, you know, what's the order you're playing your teams? It really, there is a, there is something to it. Now, what we believe the schedule looks like when we're talking about it in May is not necessarily

what the schedule actually looks like when we're talking about it in September. Right. Because a lot of things change and, of course, injuries in the beginning part of the season and teams look a little bit different. But in this early stage, as we had the initial breakdown of the schedule, before I even do the win-loss, win-loss part with you, Ms. And I'm not sure that me doing it is all that

it's more of an exercise and futility

but there are things that really jumped out to me. Obviously, as we've discussed, they open the season at home versus your saints before the week to trip to Buffalo to open their new stadium. And there's a lot of history between the bills and the lines, so it makes a lot of sense that the bills are the team to be in Buffalo for the opening of their new stadium.

Buffalo.

But let's look bigger picture here.

Let's break it down.

Not necessarily specifically about who the opponents are.

But how about three of the first five games were on the road.

And then they have a very early by week.

I was looking at is it my team?

Like late November by weeks.

Like the dramatic separation in what these biweeks could be.

And I know it's always like that, I guess.

I just never really think about it.

But the Lions play five games and then have a week six by week.
