With the schedule being released on Wednesday I thought it would be a good time to see what everyone thinks are schedule will look like? Who do you think we open against? How many prime time games will we get and who will the opponents be?

My guess is we open up against Detroit on MNF. I think we will have 5 prime time games:

Detroit
Tampa
San Fran
At Seattle
At Green Bay

Hell one of those 2 could be flexed if the Rams and Vikings/Ravens have good records.

Yeah but they're spending Christmas in Minnesota and then New Years in Baltimore that's pretty shitty.

 

[PhillyRam]

3 of their primetime road games are against division opponents? Such BS.

 

[OldSchool]

The late bye week is very nice though.

One of those is nice though we go from hosting a Titans for a SNF then go to SF for a MNF so an extra days rest then go into our bye so that's a plus for that one road trip. Also nice that those 3 road primetime are after home games and the only one that doesn't lead to a bye or home game though is the TNF game which gives us extra rest. Those suck but they didn't kill us with the follow up to those thank fully.

Yup, thought the same thing. But Titans is a home SNF game? Ok.

 

[norcalramfan]

The late bye week is very nice though.

ok, I see the bye week after the Monday Night Game now.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Schedule after the bye is tough and cold. Hopefully we're 7-3 at that point.

 

[Angry Ram]

Rams coming to town on Halloween?? Yes please. Tix here are expensive AF though. We'll see.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Also, I wonder how they will determine which teams have 9 or 8 games home going forward? Hopefully, they'll alternate it each year.

don't you mean 10-0, I don't see a loss

[ramsince62]

Fucking brutal schedule. I don't even think teams like the Jags will be cakewalks.

10th most difficult in the league....but here's the kicker, Tampa Bay with all its returning 22 starting players will have the 4th easiest schedule....how did that happen?

AFC is all 9 home games this year NFC next year and we're hoping after that they go to the 18 games.

 

[12intheBox]

17-0

Of course! 7-3 is the floor dude. Trying to be realistic from time to time.

Really only Green Bay and Seattle. I wouldn't call Seattle super cold. Rest are in domes or warmer cities.

Baltimore could be very cold and wet.

Atlanta and Carolina sucked last year, and I think they play the NFC East this year.

I forgot Minnesota is indoors.

 

[Angry Ram]

Baltimore could be very cold and wet.

True, but not bone chilling like Chicago or Buffalo in December.

 

[cvramsfan]

OK who is in for a for a field cabana game? 24 tickets all inclusive food and beverage (including beer & wine) and right on the side line. split 24 ways $700 each.
