stats guys are unhinged. also Detroit’s travelling more while hitting half as many time zones as Minnesota, not even getting to go anywhere new

It's in the five-hole!

So does Arizona’s refusal to do daylight savings time put them at a competitive advantage or disadvantage in the time zone changing category? This could be making all the difference!

I can't believe that teams in the midwest don't have to travel as far. This, to me, is worth examining.

... but then again, who does?
It's not all about East/West travel, Minneapolis to Houston is like 1200mi and its the same time zone. Without looking I'd guess that Detroit plays both Dallas and Houston this year.

Dallas and Houston are both in different timezones than detroit.

Honestly I have no idea how that timezones thing is calculated but there's definitely something weird and wrong about it.

Detroit is the only NFC north team in the Eastern time zone. Seems weird their number there is so low.

Weird that traveling from a central position and no international games yields fewer miles.

The Lions play 5 away games against teams in Central time (Bears, Pack, Vikes, Cowboys, and Chiefs), 1 game in PST (Chargers), and 3 games against teams in EST (Saints, Bucs, Ravens). So if you count the time zone difference going one way, the math checks out.

Yeah but for a team that is the only member of their division in one time zone, how are they the ones with the lowest time zone changes? Got lucky with distance-home games I guess.

The only I can figure is, they count how many time zones you cross for each road game. So for Detroit, each divisional road game is worth 1 time zone. So there's 3, then 3 more for the trip to San Diego. Then 1 each for KC and NO. Bam, 8.

Vikings number would also be 8 if that were the case

Chicago, GB - 0
Detroit, Atlanta, Carolina, Denver, Philly, Cinci - 6
Vegas - 2

Yeah, I don't know. Sitting here looking at the schedules, I can't see how you end up with twice as many for the Vikings as the Lions. You're right there's something weird going on here. I was thinking maybe something to do with back-to-back road games, but they shouldn't have that info, right?

It's weird that so many of these late afternoon/primetime games for the Packers are away games. Six compared to two at home.

I try to go to at least one home game a season, and I usually prefer to get a night game. This season I only have two to pick from (Lions and Chiefs), and the latter is probably gonna be stupid expensive unless the Packers suck.

I cannot loving wait for Jordan Love to push our poo poo in week one, so I can just get rid of all optimism and hope early.

Last year was the tank year so it doesn't count, but as you all know Bears coaches always get to win One (1) vs Greenbay, and this one seems to be it.
It will be just like last season's opener. A Fields performance that makes us excited for what he could be during fluke weather days before he gets hurt again

The last time the Bears won against the Packers in the first game was 2006. They won 26-0 and it also featured Devin Hesters first return TD in the NFL.
