Cool article to geek out to analyzing the rest disparity in here, thanks for sharing. Some teams really benefit, some really got screwed.

Eight Teams That Got Screwed by the 2026 NFL Schedule
Conor Orr’s annual look at teams that have tough rest differentials, unwieldy stretches or other disadvantages.www.si.com
Well you would hope to get an even playing field.Eh, I betcha this nutless writer doesn’t see things the same way our warriors see them. There are 17 opportunities to vanquish lesser men in the arena and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Let’s go!!!
Thanks for the info, much appreciated...Try and stay anywhere in the So Bay (Torrance, Redondo, Hermosa, etc). You're no more than 30 minutes away by car w/o using the freeway and it's safer. More expensive closer to the beach of course. And the 500s are in the top section. I sat there for a pre-season game once - very high with steep staircase up and down. You'll be watching the big screen a lot.
I didn't realize the Bengals schedule was that easy.

I would still take the Steelers or Ravens over them if he's healthy because the OLine is still not good and they didn't do enough on defense IMO.If oseph Lee Burrow stays healthy, they could easily win that division because the other three teams have new Head Coaches with Minter & Monken being first time NFL Head Coaches and the Steelers although seem to have the Bengals number, with a healthy Burrow, not likely under Senator McCarthy.
IDK, they have three new starters on the DL in Lawrence, Allen & Mafe the OL needs to stay healthy but Conor Lew could battle Ted Karras at Center they have invested in that area with free agents and draft capital the key there is health as it is with every team. Like what they did up front on the DL though.I would still take the Steelers or Ravens over them if he's healthy because the OLine is still not good and they didn't do enough on defense IMO.
Lawrence will help their run defense the rest are ok but don't replace a healthy Hendrickson. And they needed more than just a possible Center. Anything is possible I'm just not sold on their offseason. Add to that the biggest thing is Burrow being healthy which isn't likely to happen.IDK, they have three new starters on the DL in Lawrence, Allen & Mafe the OL needs to stay healthy but Conor Lew could battle Ted Karras at Center they have invested in that area with free agents and draft capital the key there is health as it is with every team.

I would wait as long as you can. The prices will likely come down. Also, from what it looked like to me, our 200 level corner seats looked better than the 100 seats right below us and better than the 200 seats behind the end zone. I think we paid $157 for last year’s opening day tickets and we were about 3rd or 4th row 200 corner. I actually saw the punch out at the end of the game happen and it was in the other end of the field.I was shocked too thinking I could book a game or two right out of the gate. At Sofi for Giants I saw $297 each for a 300 section corner behind endzone and $427 each for a 200 section at the back of the endzone.
I have a group of 4 in my family that wants to go, so that's $1500-$2,000 in tickets. In the 1980's my father bought 5 season field level tickets at Anaheim for about $850...for the WHOLE season, not just one game.
I also moved to the Phoenix area from OC, so have travel and hotel costs. It starts to be like a $5,000 venture to see one 3 1/2 hour football game.
Also, did you see the prices for the premium games like Chiefs, Cowboys, Bills? Many tickets are $1,000-$2000 each.
How do people afford to go to football games these days? I don't get it.
I did read that prices may be jacked up the day of and shortly after schedule release day, so maybe they will drop a bit in the near future.
Lastly, I checked some away games, and the Raiders, Broncos, Eagles all had even higher pricing than Sofi, except Washington, which had a lot of tickets in the $200-$300 range.
Thanks for the info. Yeah...200 seems better with a nice view of the filed and game play.I would wait as long as you can. The prices will likely come down.
