"The NFL has mastered the art of content, and nothing proves that like the annual schedule release. It is often noted how the league has turned the simple art of sharing when the games that we already know about (in terms of the opponents each team plays and the locations of the games in question) into a massive production."
"For the Dallas Cowboys there is a massive difference in traveling to play the Philadelphia Eagles in September or December based on weather. You get the point."
"On Thursday of this past week the league actually teased the schedule announcement. They didn't even tell us when they are going to announce this information. They simply stirred the pot of speculation about when they will. Again, masters of content. Thankfully they did announce on Friday that the full schedule will be released on May 14th."
"The Cowboys have opened on the road in each of the past three seasons, so it goes without saying that they are indeed due to open at home. Consider that the last time they opened at home was a loss so the last time they began a season in their own building and won was all the way back in 2019."
The NFL turns schedule release into a large production, using teasers and speculation before announcing the full slate. Travel timing and weather can significantly affect teams, such as the difference for the Dallas Cowboys when playing the Philadelphia Eagles in September versus December. The league teased the schedule announcement without stating the release time, then announced that the full schedule will be released on May 14. Attention will focus on whether the Cowboys receive a home opener, since they have opened on the road in each of the past three seasons. Their last home opener win occurred in 2019, and the last home opener resulted in a loss. Historical trends may appear in scheduling, but the league’s evolution makes them uncertain.
