    seen this on another forum and found it interesting

    RE: TB bucs

    RE: Raiders

    so 2 teams in the NFL wind up not having a game at their home stadium for 7 weeks in the middle of the season. seems really shitty for the fans and for the team

    Raymond James Stadium is located on the 28th parallel north.

    The Coliseum is located on the 38th parallel north.

    The centrepoint between those 2 latitudes is the... 33rd parallel north.

    And what is on the 33rd parallel??? Area 51.

    COINCIDENCE?????

    That's the problem with international games. Both have a "home" game in London.
    The Bucks have over 20,000 miles of travel in that 7 week stretch too. And people here are complaining about the Jets schedule....

    Well if they go through a stretch like that then they will obviously have some nice home game stretches as well. It all evens out. I do think playing out of the country should qualify as away for both teams, though.

    Well the Raiders probably have no one but themselves for that schedule. For a longtime no one knew where they would be playing in 2019 . ( before they move into there new stadium in Las Vegas in 2020) . So what was the NFL suppose to do , as it tough to figure out the schedule when you aren't sure where that team is playing. For example were the Raiders going to move in with the 49ers for a year.( have to make sure the stadium isn!5 be used).

    How would they do that - count Jets/Giants as a home game for both?

    They should certainly have a bye week after a trip to London.

    That’s what they get for selecting a Fat 2 down DT like Vita Vea in the first round over Derwin James.
