It baffles me how nobody knows how the schedule works. Someone on twitter said the kickoff game should’ve been Eagles chiefs. I replied by saying that’s quite literally impossible, because the eagles don’t host the chiefs, the chiefs host the eagles. His response?
“ Wait, why we acting like that game couldn’t have easily been a Philly home game??! League could’ve easily made that happen. You get two home and two away games against that division.”
You know there’s a set rotating formula with the schedule that was created in 2002 when the nfl realigned. Every team got to play each on a regular basis. Before that, some teams rarely got to play each other ; as schedule was only based on where you finished.
They modified that when they expanded to 17 games and will do again when they go to 18.
Yeah, how would that mean the nfl could’ve easily made the eagles be the home team against the chiefs this season though?

Yep it literally happens every year. There are just so many fans who don't have a clue that the actual matchups and home/away are pre determined.
You can't just "swap" a home into an away game because then that team needs to swap another matchup and so on and so forth.

We aren’t opening with a loser. The nfl will want a great matchup to open with.
My two likely openers for us now are either home vs DET or away vs KC. Prime time.

Pretty sure the chiefs are playing the chargers in Brazil weeek 1 so they’re off the table

Yep Chiefs/Chargers in Brazil Week 1 has been all but confirmed.
I don't see us having a ho hum 1 PM opener so you can throw out teams like Seattle.
Detroit is a good bet too. Could see us facing them in the FOX 4:25 slot.

KC playing San Diego in Brazil ; is the most likely option.

Saturday December 20th, home vs Philly. Week 16. This could also mean we’ll play either the packers or bears on Christmas and the eagles will play the other team, just like the league had the Texans, chiefs, ravens and Steelers do the weekend before Christmas

This probably means Washington will play the giants or cowboys in week 17 (probably dallas).

Week 17 would start Christmas Day and in my proposed scenario that the league wants it to be the same as last year, our week 17 game would be @ the packers

Chiefs will be road team in 2029.
