May 13, 20251 yr comment_1796000 Certainly sounds like the Bengals will open up in Buffalo on Sunday night. Probably not the opener you want to improve the weeks 1-2 record of 1-11 starts in the Zac Taylor years. Report

If it is the opener, the team will certainly have plenty of time to prepare. Bills are remaking their defense this year as are we so perhaps the team whose defense gels first gets the win. Report

Five of LAC's nine home opponents play in Europe (DEN IND PIT WAS MIN) and as asinine as the league is, I can't believe they'd make a team play in Europe AND South America in the same season. The other four opponents are KCC and LVR (both division foes), PHI (who played overseas just last year)... and HOU. HOU is non-division, hasn't been since 2019 (longer than any of the other four), and is closer to Brazil than the other three. So, naturally, just watch it be LVR. Report

The trip to Sao Paulo would be: HOU: 4901 miles (IAH to GRU) : https://www.airmilescalculator.com/distance/iah-to-gru/ KCC: 5323 miles (MCI to GRU) : https://www.airmilescalculator.com/distance/mci-to-gru/ DEN: 5746 miles (DEN to GRU) : https://www.airmilescalculator.com/distance/den-to-gru/ LVR: 6070 miles (LAS to GRU) : https://www.airmilescalculator.com/distance/las-to-gru/ If those miles are already baked-in to the table, then the league is pulling a fast one. If those miles AREN'T baked in, one of those 4 teams is 5-6K miles short. Report
