predictions on who your team will face week 1?
My guess for the Saints is Tampa or the Lions
nfl network has its release tonight at 8 pmI saw on NBC Sports that it will be released tomorrow night 5/7/2020 at 8:00 pm.
On that same programs they said according to 2019 win-loss records the NE Patriots will have the most difficult 2020 schedule . .536
Experts are saying the forst 4 games will be the AFC vs NFC as if they cancel games those games will have the least effect on the playoffs
Report: 49ers to first face AFC East, Packers and Saints
So, to summarize, the 49ers' 2020 schedule would look as such (opponents/games listed in no particular order):
Weeks 1-4: Dolphins, Bills, at Patriots, at Jets
Weeks 5-6: Packers, at Saints
Weeks 7-9: NFC West opponents
Weeks 10-13: Eagles, Washington, at Cowboys, at Giants
Weeks 14-16: NFC West opponents
I don't think that's true honestly.
I think the scenario I talked about recently is likely. Week 1 becomes week 5. But I added some more wrinkles.
Weeks 2-5 are games that could be eliminated. Week 1 still happens with its matchups regardless. I also say that each team will play one home and road game against the other conference and one home and road game against the other division in their conference. No division games weeks 2-5 and no same-place matchups. Byes will not start until week 6. There will be one week, where teams with the same bye weeks pair up. That week will also be eliminated if there's a delay.
Why would the NFL want to risk Dallas/Baltimore, KC/NO, KC/TB, NE/Sea, Pit/Dal? Those are big money matchups.
They stated in an article that it’s a possibility all nfc teams will play the afc division they are slated to play first just incase the season needs shortened, those games would be the ones lost.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Save the division games until the end just in case.
My guess for the Saints is Tampa or the Lions
I'm also interested to see who is playing the Cowboys & Lions on Thanksgiving and the special game Thanksgiving night.

That's not necessarily true this yearIt don't matter to me how the schedule is planned out, the games have to be played no matter who your going up against on any given week. So, tonight is the night we find out who meets who and when. Im guessing the Chiefs will be the first Thursday night game, and maybe the Buccaneers on the first Monday night game.
