So the opponents for each team have been announced for next season. What do you make of your teams games? Obviously, you cannot read too much into things as the off-season will change a lot of things, but its interesting to see. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000307352/article/opponents-set-for-2014-nfl-season For the Packers its a mixed bag. If this season was anything to go by, playing the Saints and Seahawks away could be tough games. Eagles and Panthers could be tough as well, hopefully the home-field advantage will help. Not a great list, but we get to see the Pack take the NFC North again.
Home games look fairly kind for the Eagles, road games are very rough though, besides the division games we play the Cards, 49ers, Colts, Pack and Texans. From the looks of things at the moment I'd guess we'll probably have to win at least 5 of our divisional games to top the bunch. Hopefully the other three conspire to be complete ****e once again.
Wow tough run in for the Chiefs a few picks: Patriots - Home Seahawks - Home Cardinals - Away 49ers - Away Plus obviously our AFC West rivals - currently one of the toughest divisions apart from Raiders, but even they could be decent next year with all that cap space!
If anyone's interested, you can see your team's future schedules (barring two games) for the next loads-of-years here: http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/schedules/nfl_future_afcs.htm For those who don't understand how scheduling in the NFL works - obviously add your three divisional rivals in both home and road. Where the schedules show division names instead of team names, it means you play the person in that division whose divisional position corresponds with your divisional position. For example, look at the Colts 2014 schedule on that site. It has us playing AFC East at home, and AFC West away. Because we finished first in our division, this means we play the winners of the AFC East (New England) at the Luke, and winners of the AFC West (Denver) at the Mile High... ****.
We have the Buccs, looking forward to a bit of cheeky banter with Meowth New England will be a tough one, as will the Saints and the Panthers.
