I’m also going to predict time slot potential.
Id put a lot of money that bills, chiefs are prime time. That means that there are 3 remaining slots for the bengals (5 total prime time). There are up to 10 more games where I could see the schedule makers be interested in a prime time spot: our six divisional games, Seattle, Vikings, jags and 9ers. I think the bengals play overseas this year and my hunch would lean towards the jags. This would semi give the league another prime time game without utilizing the prime time slot.
2023 Season
HOME
Baltimore Ravens (1 or prime time)
Cleveland Browns (1 or prime time)
Pittsburgh Steelers (1 or prime time)
Houston Texans (1)
Indianapolis Colts (1)
Los Angeles Rams (1)
Seattle Seahawks (1, 4 or prime time)
Minnesota Vikings (1, 4 or prime time)
Buffalo Bills (prime time)
AWAY
Baltimore Ravens (1 or prime time)
Cleveland Browns (1 or prime time)
Pittsburgh Steelers (1 or prime time)
Arizona Cardinals (4)
Jacksonville Jaguars (1 or prime time) (England?).
San Francisco 49ers (4 or prime time)
Tennessee Titans (1 or 4) (England?)
Kansas City Chiefs (prime time)
None of this matters much, but figured we are a 4 days away, what you think!
My guess is they will open on the road against a division foe, like the Ravens.
I hope the SF and AZ games are next to each other as they could do one of those "stay for the week" trips and avoid the travel.
I will also guess that they won't put Buffalo at the end of the season again due to the Chiefs game already announced New Year's Eve.
My guess is they will have the Buffalo game closer to the beginning of the season than the end. Maybe week 5 or 6.
I will guess the Tennessee game comes mid-year, right before the bye week.
