I hope everyone has had a blast today. After 14 cups of coffee, it's time to call it a night so that I can make more coffee for tomorrow morning. 

We just finished breaking down each schedule in the AFC, and tomorrow, we'll have a full breakdown of each schedule in the NFC. 

If you're looking for more schedule content, we've got plenty of that: 

• We ranked every Thursday night game here
• We have a list of winners and losers from the schedule release that you can see here
• We also ranked the schedule release videos and you can see that here. 

And finally, if you want to see the full list of 272 games on the schedule this year, we've got that here. 

[May 14, 2026 at 11:19 pm ET · John Breech]

The Colts schedule is out, so let's check it out. 

One good thing for the Colts. Starting in Week 9, the Colts get to play three of four games at home, and that's one of the few things to like about their schedule. The home games in that span will come against the Cowboys, Dolphins and Giants. The game against New York will give Daniel Jones a chance to face his old team for the first time. The Colts also got a Week 14 bye, which is tied for the latest of any team in the NFL. 

One bad thing for the Colts. Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. The Colts defense better to be ready to roll in Week 1, because the NFL schedule makers decided to hit Indy with a gauntlet out of the gate. The Colts will be facing the Ravens in the opener followed by a game against the Chiefs. Oh, and then they have to play the Texans in Week 3. With Daniel Jones coming back from an Achilles injury, there's no guarantee he'll be ready in Week 1. WIth this schedule, the Colts could potentially get out to an 0-3 start. 

And now, let's get to the schedule release video. The Colts went full Simpsons, so you'll want to be sure to watch .

[May 14, 2026 at 10:59 pm ET · John Breech]

The Titans will be opening a new stadium in 2027, but before that can happen, they have to play one more season in their old stadium. 

Let's check out their schedule. 

One good thing for the Titans. There is nothing sexy about the Titans schedule, but if you asked an NFL coach, most of them would want the exact type of schedule that the Titans got: All of their games are on Sunday, 15 of them start at 1 p.m. and they got a bye in the middle of the season (Week 9). Robert Saleh also got a dream opener with a chance to get revenge on a Jets team that just fired him in 2024. 

One bad thing for the Titans. The Titans have lost four straight games to the Jaguars, so it's not ideal that the NFL decided to have them face Jacksonville twice in a three-week span. Coming out of their Week 9 bye, the Titans will face the Jaguars, the Cowboys and then the Jaguars again. The Titans went 0-6 in the AFC South last year and if Robert Saleh wants to turn things around, he can start by beating the Jags. 

Finally, please watch the Titans' schedule release video, it's another classic. 

[May 14, 2026 at 10:48 pm ET · John Breech]

It's time for the Texans. 

Let's check out Houston's schedule. 

One good thing for the Texans. The Texans open the season with three of four games in Houston and it's a schedule that could set up well for them. At the beginning of the season, most NFL offenses are still looking to get into a groove, which is why a good defense can take you far through the first few weeks. With the Texans set to play the Bills, Bengals, Colts and Cowboys in the first four weeks, Houston's defense could help carry the team to a 4-0 start. The Bills have a new head coach, the Bengals tend to get off to slow starts, the Colts have a QB coming off an Achilles injury and the Cowboys will be coming back from Brazil, so the Texans might actually be well-suited to win three or four games in the first four weeks. 

One bad things for the Texans. When you're an indoor team, you definitely don't want to be playing outdoor games in the winter, but unfortunately for the Texans, the NFL didn't do them any favors when it comes to that fact. Not only do the Texans have to play four of their final six games on the road, but they'll all be played in cold-weather cities (Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia and Green Bay). The game against the Eagles is on a Thursday in Week 16 (Dec. 24) and Philly will actually be getting one extra day of rest because they play on a Saturday in Week 15 (The Texans play on Sunday). Last year, the Texans only played one outdoor game over the final seven weeks. 

Texans schedule release video? Texans release video.

We just went through the entire AFC East, so now, we're going to break down every schedule in the AFC South, starting with the Jaguars. 

One good thing for the Jaguars. The Jags are back, baby. The Jaguars got three primetime games this year, which might not sound like a lot, but it is for Jacksonville. The Jags rarely get that many primetime games and it proves that the NFL views them as a serious contender. The Jags got a Thursday night game (at Baltimore), a Monday night game (vs. Pittsburgh) and a Sunday night game (at Dallas). This could be the year of Duvall. 

One bad thing for the Jaguars. There will be a TWO MONTH stretch during the season where the Jaguars only play one home game. From Sept. 28 to Nov. 28, the Jags will only play one game in Jacksonville and they won't play a single home game during the entire month of October. A big reason for that is because they'll be playing two games in London, but they also have four true road games during that eight-week span, including a stretch of three road games in a road starting in Week 9. Over past four seasons, we've see a total of 15 teams hit with a three-game road trip and they've combined to go 19-26. 

And now, let's get to their schedule release video, starring Trevor Lawrence. 

[May 14, 2026 at 10:24 pm ET · John Breech]

And now, let's wrap up our AFC East schedule breakdowns with the Dolphins. 

First, let's take a look at their schedule. 

One good thing for the Dolphins. The Dolphins will be facing three teams in their first six games that will have a new starting quarterback (Raiders in Week 1, Vikings in Week 4, Jets in Week 7). If Jeff Hafley can have his defense playing well early in the season, the Dolphins could pick up a few victories in the first few weeks. 

One bad thing for the Dolphins. This team has been horrible when the weather drops below 40 -- they've lost 15 straight games in that situation -- so it's definitely not good news that starting on Nov. 22, they play to play their final four road games in cold-weather cities (at Bills, at Broncos, at Packers, at Patriots). The Dolphins will have a new coach and a new QB, so maybe they can figure out how to win in cold weather, but if not, it's going to be a long December once again. 

And now, let's get to the Dolphins schedule release video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 10:11 pm ET · John Breech]

Let's breaks down the Jets' schedule. 

One good thing for the Jets. The Jets really one have one breather on their schedule and it starts in Week 5 when they face the Browns, Dolphins and Raiders during a four-week stretch. To make things even better, all three of those games are at home. 

One bad thing for the Jets. The Jets went just 1-7 on the road last season, so it's definitely not ideal that they have to open the season with three of their first four games away from MetLife Stadium. And the only game in that stretch that's not on the road is a Week 2 game against the Packers. Three of those first four games are also against NFC North teams, who all finished with a winning record last season. The Jets also have a nightmare stretch to end the season with the Patriots, Vikings and Bills over the final three weeks. I think what I'm trying to say here is that the Jets have a rough schedule. 

It's time for the Jets' schedule release video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 10:05 pm ET · John Breech]

Alright, let's move on and break down Buffalo's schedule. 

Here's the full slate of games. 

One good thing for the Bills. The Bills get to close the season with games against the Dolphins (Week 17) and Jets (Week 18). Those feel like two very winnable games and if the Bills are battling for a division title or a high playoff seed, then winning those two games could certainly help their cause. 

One bad things for the Bills. The Bills are going to be tested right out of the gate with five straight games against teams that finished over .500 last season (at Texans, Lions, Chargers, Patriots, at Rams). After playing on the road at Houston in Week 1, they have to turn around and play on Thursday night against the Lions. The Bills will be opening their new stadium for that game, which will start a streak of three straight games at home, but that's actually a negative. If you're Buffalo, you want more homes games during the colder months and three straight home games in September doesn't help you with that. 

And now, it's video time. 

[May 14, 2026 at 9:55 pm ET · John Breech]

The Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and they'll be opening the 2026 season with a Super Bowl rematch against the Seahawks. 

Let's check out the rest of their schedule. 

One good thing for the Patriots. The Patriots have a four-week stretch starting in Week 5 where they'll face the Raiders, Jets and Dolphins and that's about the only thing that's good about New England's schedule. 

One bad thing for the Patriots. After getting the easiest schedule in the NFL last year, the league's schedule makers didn't do the Patriots ANY favors to start the season this year. The Patriots first four opponents have a strength of schedule of .721, which is the highest any team has faced in the first four weeks since 1986. And to make matters worse, three of those four games are on the road (at Seahawks, Steelers, at Jaguars, at Bills). 

And now, we present to you the Patriots' schedule release video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 9:45 pm ET · John Breech]

The Raiders have a new coach and two new quarterbacks, and now, they'll be looking to turn things around. 

Let's take a look at their schedule: 

One good thing for the Raiders. Besides the Raiders, there were three other teams that finished with a 3-14 record last year (Jets, Cardinals, Titans) and the Raiders get to face all THREE of them. Basically, the Raiders have several winnable games on their schedule and although they might not be a playoff contender this year, they should feel good about their chances of improving dramatically over last season in Klint Kubiak's first year on the job. 

One bad things for the Raiders. It's bad enough that the Raiders have to face Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford this year, but the NFL the NFL made it worse, because the Raiders will be facing those three quarterbacks in a four-game span starting in Week 4. That's four MVP awards between the three quarterback, and to add insult to injury, the other game in that span is against the defending AFC Champion Patriots. The Raiders will be lucking to win one of those four games. The Raiders also play all four conference title teams from last season (Seahawks, Rams, Patriots, Broncos) in a seven-week stretch. Yikes. 

And now, let's meet the new quarterabcks: Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins. They starred in the Raiders' schedule release video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 9:35 pm ET · John Breech]

The Chargers have made the playoffs in two straight seasons with Jim Harbaugh and they'll be looking to make it three in a row this year. 

Let's check out their schedule: 

One good thing for the Chargers. There were four teams that tied for the worst record in the NFL last year  at 3-14 and the Chargers will face two of them in the first two weeks (Cardinals in Week 1, Raiders in Week 2). It's only two games, but it's two key games: Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, 64.1% of the teams that started a season 2-0 went on to make the playoffs and the Chargers have a very real chance of starting 2-0 thanks to their schedule. 

One bad thing for the Chargers. From Sept. 21 through Nov. 7, the Chargers will only play one home game. Again, that's a span of 47 days where the Chargers will play just one game at home. During that span, the Chargers have a five-game stretch where they play four road games in five weeks and that that could end up deciding their season. 

Week 3: at Bills (Led by former MVP at QB)
Week 4: at Seahawks (Super Bowl champs)
Week 5: Broncos (Defending AFC West champs)
Week 6: at Chiefs (Led by two-time former MVP at QB)
Week 7: BYE
Week 8: at Rams (Led by former MVP at QB)

The game against the Rams will be in L.A., so that's a plus, but this will still be a tought stretch. 

And now, let's get to the Chargers schedule release video, which is a must-see video every year. 

[May 14, 2026 at 9:17 pm ET · John Breech]

After winning the AFC West in 2025, the Broncos will be looking to pull off a repeat this year. 

So can they do it? Let's check out their schedule. 

One good thing for the Broncos. The Broncos get well-rested during their Week 10 bye, because they'll have a chance to go on a run coming out of it. Starting in Week 11, the Broncos will play the Dolphins, Jets and the Raiders twice during a five-week stretch. The Dolphins have a new coach and a new QB. The Jets are coming off a season where they tied for the worst record in the NFL (3-14) and they tied with the Raiders. The Broncos have a veteran team and those are four games where they will likely be favored big, so they just need to make sure they don't blow it. 

One good thing for the Broncos. Not only do the Broncos have to play the NFC West, but the NFL schedule makers decided to bunch all the games together. The three best teams in that division are the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers and Denver has to play them in a four-week span that will also include a game against the Chargers. 

Week 3: Rams (SNF)
Week 4: at 49ers
Week 5: at Chargers
Week 6: Seahawks (TNF)

They have to fly halfway across the country for two of the games and then they also have to turn around and face the defending champion Seahawks on a short week. This is an ugly stretch that could cause Denver to stumble out of the gate. 

And now, here's Denver's schedule release video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 9:07 pm ET · John Breech]

Not that we've broken down each schedule in the AFC North, let's move on to the AFC West and we're going to start with the Chiefs. 

Here's the Chiefs schedule if you haven't gotten a chance to see it yet. 

One good thing for the Chiefs. If Patrick Mahomes is ready to play in Week 1, the Chiefs will have a very real chance to be 4-0 heading into their Week 5 bye. In the first two weeks of the season, they get the Broncos and Colts at home. In Weeks 3 and 4, they get the Dolphins and Raiders, who will both have a new head coach and a new starting quarterback. New head coaches have a winning percentage of just .389 in the first six weeks of the year over the past five seasons. 

One bad thing for the Chiefs. The Chiefs have one of the most brutal stretches of any team this season and it starts on Thanksgiving in Week 12 and runs all the way through Week 17. For Turkey Day, the Chiefs have to travel to Buffalo and face the Bills on just three days rest. After that, they have another Thursday game against the Rams followed by a road game against the Bengals, and no, I'm not done. 

You know what, let just lay out this stretch: 
Week 12 (Nov. 26): at Bills (Thanksgiving)
Week 13 (Dec. 3): at Rams (TNF)
Week 14 (Dec. 13): at Bengals
Week 15 (Dec. 21): Patriots (MNF)
Week 16 (Dec. 27): 49ers 
Week 17 (Jan. 2 or 3): at Chargers

They have a short week before facing the 49ers and they might also have a short week before facing the Chargers if that Week 17 game is flexed to Saturday. If the Chiefs make the playoffs, they're going to have earned it. 

And for your enjoyment, here's the Chiefs' schedule video. 

[May 14, 2026 at 8:51 pm ET · John Breech]

After two straight last place finishes, the Browns will be looking to turn things around in 2026. 

Let's take a look at their schedule: 

One good thing for the Browns. The Browns have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL this year, which is mostly notable, because the AFC team with the easiest strength of schedule has finished with a winning record in EIGHT STRAIGHT seasons. 

One bad thing for the Browns. The Browns have gone 3-14 on the road over the past two seasons, so road games are always tough for this team and the schedule certainly isn't doing them any favors. Not only do the Browns have three straight road games from Weeks 7 thru 9, but they also close the season with three road games in the final four weeks. They're going to have to figure out how to win on the road if they want to turn things around this year. 

[May 14, 2026 at 8:46 pm ET · John Breech]

The Steelers are going into their first season with Mike McCarthy and he's going to be looking to lead them to their second straight AFC North title. 

Let's take a look at Pittsburgh's schedule: 

One good thing for the Steelers: The Steelers have one of the most manageable travel schedules in the NFL this year. Yes, they do go to Paris, but outside of that, they'll only play one other game outside of the eastern time zone during the entire season and that won't come until Week 17. Assuming Aaron Rodgers is under center this year, cutting down on the travel miles can be a good thing for a 42-year-old QB who will be 43 before the season is over. 

One bad thing for the Steelers: If the Steelers want to make the playoffs, they're going to have navigate their way through a rough stretch starting in Week 11. The Steelers will start that stretch with a game against the Eagles and then they'll get just five days to prepare for their Black Friday game against the Broncos. After that, they'll play a Texans team in Week 13 that destroyed them in the playoffs. Finally, in Week 14, they'll travel to Jacksonville for a Monday night game. That's four straight games against teams that made the playoffs last year and all four are expected to be good this year. 

[May 14, 2026 at 8:29 pm ET · John Breech]

Now that we've made it through the Bengals' breakdown, let's go to Baltimore. 

Let's take a look at the Ravens' schedule: 

One good thing for the Ravens: The Ravens are going into the season with a new coach, but they'll have a chance to open the year with a hot start. In the first seven weeks, the Ravens will get to play seven straight games against teams that didn't make the playoffs last year and three of those teams will have a new coach (Falcons, Titans, Browns). 

One bad thing for the Ravens. The Ravens better take advantage of their first seven weeks, because they have a pretty rough stretch starting in Week 8 with the Bills. From that point on, they'll play five straight games against teams that made the playoffs last year, including two division winners (Jaguars and Panthers). Overall, this feels like a pretty favorable schedule for Baltimore. 

[May 14, 2026 at 7:53 pm ET · John Breech]

We're going to break down every schedule, starting in the AFC North. 

Let's check out Cincinnati's schedule: 

One good thing for the Bengals: Starting in Week 5, the Bengals get to play four straight games against teams that will be going into the season with a new coach with a stretch that looks like this: at Dolphins, at Ravens, Titans, at Falcons (in Spain). The most difficult game in that span is probably Baltimore, but the Bengals will get a bye to prepare. Over the past five season, first-year coaches have a winning percentage below .440 in the first 12 weeks of the season. 

One bad things for the Bengals: The Bengals have a brutal early stretch that will see them play three straight games against teams that made the playoffs last year. That stretch will start in Week 2 with a game in Houston. After that, they'll face the Steelers on the road before getting the Jaguars at home. The Bengals have been known to struggle in the first few weeks of the season, so they'll need to flip the script if they want to have a big year. 

[May 14, 2026 at 7:22 pm ET · John Breech]

There's only one New Year's Eve game on the schedule this year and it will be going down in Week 17 with a Thursday night game between the Bengals and Ravens. For the past four seasons, the Bengals were forced to play a primetime game on the road against Baltimore, but the NFL finally flipped the tables this year. 

It should be an exciting New Year's Eve for Trey Hendrickson, who will be making his return to Cincinnati after having a fallout with the team. 

Week 17 will also feature an NBC doubleheader on Saturday night, but we don't know who will be playing in those two games just yet, but we will know when the schedules come out in the next 30 minutes. For now, here's what we know about Week 13.

Monday, Dec. 21

• Patriots at Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN)

[May 14, 2026 at 6:45 pm ET · John Breech]

Joe Burrow versus Patrick Mahomes? Yes please. That's arguably the biggest game of Week 14 with the Chiefs heading to Cincinnati for the first time in four years. In an added twist, the game will be held on Taylor Swift's birthday, so there's certainly a chance that the singer could end up celebrating her birthday by eating Skyline chili at Paycor Stadium. 

With that in mind, here's what we know about Week 14: 

Thursday, Dec. 10

• Vikings at Patriots, 8:15 p.m. ET (Amazon)

Sunday, Dec. 13

• Broncos at Jets, 1 p.m. ET

The 12th week of the season is a big one on the NFL calendar, because it's THANKSGIVING WEEK.

The NFL schedule is set to be released at 8 p.m. ET tonight, but if you're on the internet, you'll be able to see each team's schedule 30 minutes earlier than everyone else. 

NFL PR guy Brian McCarthy just announced that each team will be allowed to release their scheduling videos at 7:30. 

That means we're now exactly 100 MINUTES AWAY from the release of each team's schedule.

The NFL has an incredibly strong schedule for the week of Thanksgiving, but it's not quite as strong for the week before Turkey Day, which is Week 11, the week we're going to focus on right now. 

The Steelers and Eagles will be meeting in the Battle of Pennsylvania and we'll also be getting a Sunday night game in Mexico between the Vikings and 49ers. The week will close out with Joe Burrow and the Bengals facing Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. The last time those two teams played came in the famous no punt game of 2024 with Washington winning 38-33.

The biggest game of Week 10 will arguably be taking place in Dallas where the Cowboys will be hosting the 49ers. Actually, that's the biggest game in the United States. The week will also feature the Patriots and Lions facing off in Munich in what should be a solid game.
