Chuck Wagon Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It is one thing to be first (last) in a couple of these categories...but Jesus...being in the 95 percentile in all but 2 of them...and two of the rarer ones.....? https://www.nbcsports.com/edge/article/offseason-research/teams-most-impacted-scheduling-inequalities C.

Tempest Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The factor that keeps popping up is high value market teams are at the bottom of that list except for two: 49ers & Cowboys. There is rest and there is making an extra buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don't remember who the opponent was... I think maybe Green Bay... but there was one game two or three years ago where we were coming off a Monday Night game, the opponent was coming off a bye, and we had to travel to play them for a 1PM game. It was such bullshit... the opponent literally got twice the rest and preparation and of course we got fucking crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Cowboys would probably be down the list too, but they have one home Thursday game every season. Its about a +.4 wins a season advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 The only thing I would like to see is how this equates to wins/losses on the field. From what I can tell teams with the most amount of rest between games are teams that are perpetually not contenders in the NFL, which means even with rest they still can't win games. Teams in the middle of the pack or on the lower end of the time between games are the ones making the playoffs and winning games. It makes sense the NFL wants to put the winning teams in the Thursday/Sunday night match ups meaning they'll get screwed by the schedule, and keep the shit teams on just a regular schedule. Granted I agree they should try to strive for better parity across the league (as the article said there are some wide gaps that should be closed), but it doesn't seem like there is a correlation between time/rest between games and W/L record. Interesting article though, wonder if it gains any traction among the owners/teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
