Summary

The NFL Schedule dropped on Thursday and the biggest thing that stood out was the TREMENDOUS Thanksgiving slate that includes five great games. The Los Angeles Rams against the Green Bay Packers to get us started and then the Buffalo Bills taking on the Kansas City Chiefs 24 hours later is a delight. We also get some fantastic matchups in Week 1 as the New England Patriots get a super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Commanders at the Philadelphia Eagles. Finally, there are some gems later in the year during the holiday season like the Cincinnati Bengals against the Baltimore Ravens on New Year's Eve and the Packers against the Chicago Bears on Christmas night.
