Generally, the most buzzed about teams get earlier scheduled primetime or standalone games on the schedule. This is over a month away, but what teams are looking to get first dibs?

For certain, I know Chicago is at the top. Big market team getting the top play caller the last two years. But have the Lambs generated that same buzz? What about Seattle, who was about as productive as LA? Do the Steelers when they sign Rodgers? I'm not sure Katz(or whoever is in charge now) is itching to put Pittsburgh on national TV more than they have even with Rodgers. They're already no longer a CBS staple.

I cannot see the Titans getting scheduling buzz drafting Ward. But Giants and Sanders, if they draft him, are another story. But they'll probably just get an ABC MNF and maybe a SNF. Titans an ABC MNF.

Based on the previous year, the team most talked about is probably the Commanders. And then you factor in the top two draft picks in 24 and there's a top schedule agenda right there.


For instance, last year, it was Houston, followed by Detroit, LAC, and Atlanta. Houston had a big off-season that accompanied their 23 buzz. Detroit got to NFCCG in a surprise year. LAC got Harbaugh, and Atlanta got Cousins.

So if my thinking is right, Chicago, Washington, LAR, and Seattle seem to be the top focus. This does not mean they're going to get the most games, but going to get primetime/standalone games against the bigger teams on their schedule or earlier in the year.

Who do you see?
 
You're title is a little confusing to me. I don't think, there has been a real "buzz", at least to me, this off-season, bc no big name has really moved to effect scheduling. I do believe that Washington, thanks to JD, will definitely have a nice primetime scheduling. I don't think Seattle's off-season moves warrants them a better prime-time schedule, if that's what you are implying.
 
The schedule is usually done before the draft that means who teams draft will not have an effect on the schedule.
 
Cowboys,Cowboys…….they could finish the season 0-16 and still get the max primetime games.
 
The Commanders
Are they due to play Detroit this season? That matchup is likely a hot one for a while yet. Rematch of a fairly high-scoring playoff game last year. Same with any possible Eagles/ Rams rematch from the playoffs. I don't have other divisions' rotations in my head like I do with the NFC South, so hence the question.

Yeah, I think the Commanders have Detroit in D.C. this season. Those two conferences face each other.

We play the West this year.
