Intriguing teams on your team schedule in 2017

[SoCalWizFan]

Colts play the NFC West which is good news, bad news is they have the AFC North. Buffalo and Denver are their other opponents.

Not sure why you think it is so bad playing against the AFC-N. The AFC-W appears to be tougher. The AFC-E would not be much different since you already play the Bills & the Pats game would obviously be tough. The other two would be against Jets and Dolphins & I would think that would not be much easier than say playing the Bengals & Browns.

I would say I was looking forward to going to the GB game, but I guess the NFL doesn't allow Seattle to play them at home in the regular season anymore. Maybe will head to Nashvegas for a road game depending on when it is...

They played them at home in 4 of 5 occurrences from 2006-2014. Same thing happened with Pats and Broncos. Broncos came to Gillette 3 straight from 2012-2014. Pats going to Denver for 3 straight from 2015-2017.

Yep, which is why I said "anymore" instead of "never." 2017 will be the 3rd straight year Seattle is @ GB in the regular season. Just seems like an odd thing to schedule it that way, and it would still be odd to me if it were @ Seattle 3 years in a row.

Yeah it's all part of the formula.

In 2015 they were @Green Bay and @Minnesota because in 2012 they were at home against Green Bay and Minnesota. Seahawks will play Green Bay and Minnesota at home in 2018.

For the standings match ups in 2017, the NFC West team was pre-determined to be on the road against their NFC North counterpart, and at home against their NFC South counterpart. 3 years prior, the last time they faced both these divisions, it was switched. That's why the Seahawks played the Packers at home in 2014, and were on the road against the Panthers.

So the Seahawks are guaranteed to get the Packers at home in 2018. If, in 2018, they finish in the same position in the standings, the Seahawks will host the Packers again in 2019. If they finish in the same position in 2019, the Seahawks will host them for a 3rd straight year.

I can give you exactly who the Seahawks are playing in 2018, and where, right now.

Home: Cardinals, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Chiefs, Vikings, Packers, NFC East Winner
Away: Cardinals, Rams, 49ers, Raiders, Broncos, Lions, Bears, NFC South Winner

all of um...it's the cowboys afterall. Always an adventure.

I would say the most intriguing games for the Pats are home against the Falcons, Panthers, and Chiefs; and at Denver, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Tampa, and the Mexico City Raiders.

The NFC games are always intriguing since they only face each other every 4 years. Last time the Pats played in Tampa was 1985, plus facing Winston will be exciting.

1997, 27-7, assholes ruined our Shutout in the end...

Yeah, makes sense.... and that looks correct so long as Seattle wins the division again this next season.

Every Team that has New in its name Travels to Tampa this year, that is kind of Weird...

At New England (Yikes!)
Home against the Packers (Considering our dumpster fire of a secondary this year, yikes again!)

Hard to tell where the Panthers are going to finish given all the injuries and drama we had this year. If we go all in on an O-line and get at least one halfway decent player in the secondary, we might do all right. I see us at 9-7, maybe 10-6. Having Jets, Niners and Bears on the schedule helps.

You're right, my bad.
