Once the official schedule comes out, I wonder if there is a more enhanced SoS calculation that factors in miles traveled, rest days, BYE week timing, etc.

SoS should be based on each team's O/U and not previous year record.

Now, Burrow gets his wish and fans back in the United States will watch the Bengals in a 9:30am EST kickoff window.

So is this 2:30 Madrid time? ⬆️

At the end of the day it’s the NFL not NCAA. There are no Rices or Michigan States in the pros. Well, maybe the Dolphins who will be tanking for Tua err Arch.

Fuck off with this building. Real are like the Stealers to me. Cheap shot/dirty bastards. I would have to piss on the seats…and go to confession if I ever entered that place!

Tell us how you "real"ly feel! 🤣

That's a lot of international games

Hmmm… Madrid is only a 3 hour flight from Prague (and Spain is a fuckload cheaper than the UK to boot). Going to have to see if I can swing this…

Bengals open the season at home.

Oh…you don’t want to see that! 😄

This seems to be legit...

Sad to see, the NFL has turned to full blown greed while they ignore their fan base at losing a home game and their taxpayers.

Awesome! Madrid is a great city and the game is at Bernabeu, where Real plays.

I beg to differ, I lived there for 4 years but maybe you know something I do not. They despised Americans and still do to this day. Spain is a Beauitful country though. Don't get me wrong, I would love to go back to see what has changed.

Not saying you’re wrong but it’s strange that the Bengals would opt for an earlier bye with an international game in Week 9. My understanding is that the team has a choice to not have the bye week immediately after an international game and a week 10 bye would seem to be better than week 6.
