Every year we "hope for the best" as far as the schedule goes. This year let's realize that, trying to figure out the schedule makers is easier than we think. We will guess right if we think that they will try to hurt us in anyway possible as far as giving teams rest before they play us. Maybe if we think that way, the opposite will happen.
One thing is guaranteed though. We WILL be playing the Pats after their bye. Playing the Pats after their bye is like OUR Thanksgiving gift from the NFL. It's tradition.
