Seeing the teams that are hosts, three of them are teams we play next year. What are the chances we have to play


The NFL announced Wednesday which five teams will be home teams in the league's international games, with four games in London and one in Mexico City.

While dates, times and teams designated as away teams won't be revealed until the spring, the league unveiled the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers as hosts.

For the league really wanting football to get more popular in Los Angeles seems kind of odd to take away a home game from each of them.

It is on purpose until the LA stadium is open... Less games in non-NFL worthy stadiums over all, and they hope the brand name of an international city helps build fans abroad... I expect the Rams in Mexico again honestly.

It's the perfect time to do it though before they move into the nice 2 billion dollar stadium.

It’s the teams with the worst home attendance this year that were picked.

would love to see the Rams game moved to Mexico.

We play three of those teams on the road, so this could be interesting. There should be a 1 in 8 chance we’re picked as one of the road teams.

Looking at the rams home opponents next year. Their prime time international game is either going to be against us or the bears. Slim pickins other than that.

I'd replace Tampa and Jacksonville with New England and NY.

Leave the small market teams out of your cash grab, NFL.

Tampa and Jacksonville can’t draw in their markets.

Mexico City sounds better than London... Travel wise... Altitude.. A completely different story

I'm sure it's the owners volunteering because they'll sell more tickets in London.

This. The owners probably make more moving the games.

I’d much rather play in London than in Mexico at 8000 feet.
