Building the SportsHoopla Schedule: Week 3

[MHSL82]

The NFL is set to release the 2014 Season Schedule on April 17th.

In our previous poll of Week 2, we selected the Kansas City Chiefs as our home opener. I adjusted some votes based upon what people said (that they voted wrong) - I didn't delete the vote, just added one, as it didn't change the overall result.

Kansas City at Home - 6 Votes
Chicago at Home - 3 Votes
Denver on the Road - 2 votes
St. Louis on the Road - 2 votes
Washington at Home - 1 vote
Arizona or the Giants on the Road - 1 vote each
Dallas, Giants, Raiders, or Saints on the Road - 3 Combined Votes

Assuming we open up against Seattle and follow it up at home, who do you want to face on Sunday, September 21st?

Considerations: Worst case scenario, IMO, is a 1-1 start, so no need for a gimme, but avoiding 1-2 would be good. Travel distance is there on the poll, but probably not a major factor, as we had ten days between Week 1 and Week 2. That actually might incentivize going as far away as we can, as we'll be most rested.

Again, not a guess what it will be, what you want it to be.

Week 1: Thursday, September 4, 2014 at Seattle.
Week 2: Sunday, September 14, 2014 versus Kansas City
Week 3: Poll.

I went SD, Philly, or Wash on this one. Might as well take another winnable game at home to start the season off with at least 2 wins. I would have preferred the first two games against good teams on the road to get them out of the way though.

I should have given the Raiders a separate option because then we could have gotten another "home" game. But we might want to go on a "road trip" with Oakland being sandwiched in. Do like Arizona (Road), Oakland (Road Home), San Diego (Road), BYE, Denver on the Road (or something), Arizona (Or some other home game).

Bump.

Denver on the road. Hit 'em early in the season and make a statment. JMO.
