That 34-day stretch is the longest span that any team will go without playing a road game this year. One good thing for the Raiders: Thanks to the way the schedule is constructed, the Raiders won't be leaving Las Vegas a single time between Nov. During that span, they'll hit the road for four games with trips to Denver (Week 8), Germany (Week 9), Las Vegas (Week 12) and Green Bay (Week 13). One bad thing for the Chiefs: The Chiefs are going to have to survive a brutal travel schedule that runs from Week 8 thru Week 13. They're the only team in the NFL that will play three divisional games in the first four weeks. One bad thing for the Browns: The Browns' season could be over before it starts and that's because they play three divisional games in the first four weeks of the season, so they won't be able to afford a slow start. Basically, the schedule is set up for the Browns to have a strong finish. That span includes games against the Broncos, Rams, Bears and Texans, among others. One good thing for the Browns: One positive thing for the Browns is that starting in Week 11, they'll play six games in seven weeks against team that didn't make the playoffs last year. That stretch includes two straight road games to end the season, which makes them one of just four teams that has to play its final two games on the road. That's definitely not an ideal way to end the season. One bad thing for the Steelers: The Steelers have to play three of their final four games on the road and their only home game in that span is against the Bengals. The Ravens are also one of just five teams that will have to play a three-game road trip in 2023. Starting then, they'll be closing out the season with six games in seven weeks against teams that finished last season with a winning record (Bengals, Chargers, Jaguars, 49ers, Dolphins and Steelers). One bad thing for the Ravens: Things could get ugly for the Ravens beginning in Week 11. In the first eight weeks of the season, Baltimore will face seven teams that didn't make the playoffs last year. One good thing for the Ravens: The Ravens could get hot coming out of the gate this year. The Bills do have a Week 13 bye, but even with that, it's still a rough stretch. Those games will come against the Eagles (Week 12), Chiefs (Week 14), Cowboys (Week 15) and Chargers (Week 16). One bad thing for the Bills: Toward the end of the season, the Bills have to play four straight games against team that made the playoffs last season, including both Super Bowl teams, which could make things rough down the stretch for Buffalo. Their "easiest" game in that stretch is against the Patriots, but it's hard to call that easy considering they've lost 14 STRAIGHT to New England. After that, they get the Patriots and the Chiefs. Over the first four weeks, they play the Bills on Monday night before traveling to Dallas on a short week. One bad thing for the Jets: Aaron Rodgers is going to need to get off to a hot start in New York because the Jets have a brutal stretch to open the season. Oh, and the Jets will be playing a Sunday night game for the first time since 2011. The Jets will also be just the second team in 90 years to play 10 games in their home stadium (They get to do this because they have a "road" game against the Giants along with nine home games). During that stretch, it wouldn't be crazy to see them go 3-0 since they'll have games against the Dolphins, Texans and Commanders. One good thing for the Jets: The Jets will have the chance to end the season on a high note and that's because they'll be getting three straight homes games starting in Week 12. One bad thing for the Dolphins: The Dolphins are one of just four teams in the NFL that has play their first two games on the road, which is definitely notable here considering the Dolphins went 3-6 on the road last season.
