Brutal opening schedule with the Ravens, Seahawks and Niners all in a row. Get's a bit softer in the middle but then gets tough at the end with the Pats in Houston, at the Colts and the Broncos in Houston.
Here are the strengths of schedule for each team:

The Ravens only have four primetime games, which seems low for a defending champion. They also have a hard SOS this up-coming season. Of course, the Broncos have the easiest, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see them grab the one-seed again. All in all, I assume the AFC playoff picture will pretty much end up being the same as it was last season, except the Steelers may get in instead of the Bengals and the Texans and Patriots may switch places.
Oh...and you NFL for making the Texans opener the second game on the MNF double header. I have to be at work at 5am you gots.
I apologize in advance to NFL fans everywhere for having to sit through a Thursday Night game between the Bills and Browns.
4-12.
Depending on how early it is in the season, the Bills may still be in their annual -tease period where they almost fool the league into thinking they're going to actually compete.

The Giants will drop week 2 for sure. Peyton owns Eli. This Giants team has no reason not to go 13-3 with this schedule, but they will likely make things difficult for themselves like they always do.![]()

3 out of the first 4 at home. Week 1 against Atlanta is huge and will set the tone for the division. 4 Primetime games (2 Home, 2 Away). yeah.

Chargers were going to be bad this year anyway, but they might as well start taking pre-orders on those powder blue Clowney jerseys now, tbh....
What surprised me is that the Cowboys are on the road on Thanksgiving Day. When was the last time that happened?
U sure m8?

The Packers open against the 49ers for a 2nd straight season, they play the Giants for a 4th straight season, they play the NFC East and the AFC North + San Francisco and Atlanta this season.
Looking at this schedule I don't see a reason why the Packers shouldn't be a playoff team this season.
Pretty decent MNF schedule this season. There aren't too many weeks of 1 good team vs. 1 team. Thank GOD there is finally no Jags game.
2013 'Monday Night Football' Schedule
Wk Date Time (ET) Matchup Comment 1 Sept. 9 7 p.m. Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins Chip Kelly's debut as Eagles coach is a big story. Robert Griffin III's health is a bigger one. Will RG III be ready? 10:15 p.m. Houston Texans at San Diego Chargers Matt Schaub and Philip Rivers have not been at their best recently. This is an early chance to change perceptions. 2 Sept. 16 8:30 p.m. Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals The Bengals and Jerome Harrison have been talking about a contract. This "MNF" date is one incentive that won't count against the salary cap. 3 Sept. 23 8:30 p.m. Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos Welcome to the AFC West, Matt Flynn. 4 Sept. 30 8:30 p.m. Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints Ryan Tannehill joins Rivers as the only starting AFC QBs scheduled for Monday night. The Superdome is a tough venue. 5 Oct. 7 8:30 p.m. New York Jets at Atlanta Falcons The AFC East makes four "MNF" appearances, all of them on the road. What is this, a sacrifice? 6 Oct. 14 8:30 p.m. Indianapolis Colts at San Diego Chargers Andrew Luck makes his lone "MNF" appearance. The Chargers get two "MNF" games at home by Week 6. Not bad. 7 Oct. 21 8:30 p.m. Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants Adrian Peterson gets one shot at breaking the "MNF" single-game rushing record of 221 yards, set by Bo Jackson in 1987. 8 Oct. 28 8:30 p.m. Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams The Seahawks barely managed a split with the Rams last season. This is one of five division games on the "MNF" schedule. 9 Nov. 4 8:30 p.m. Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers It's tough to go wrong with the Bears and Packers. This is only their third "MNF" matchup in 10 seasons, however. 10 Nov. 11 8:30 p.m. Miami Dolphins at Tampa Bay Bucs The Bucs get only their second "MNF" home game since having two of them in 2003, Jon Gruden's second season as head coach. 11 Nov. 18 8:30 p.m. New England Patriots at Carolina Panthers Tom Brady goes on the road for his only "MNF" appearance of the season. It's the first time since 2007 that the Patriots haven't played one at home. 12 Nov. 25 8:30 p.m. San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins Colin Kaepernick and RG III make this a marquee matchup. RBs Frank Gore and Alfred Morris combined for 2,627 yards rushing last season, too. 13 Dec. 2 8:30 p.m. New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks Expect to see a few replays of Marshawn Lynch's memorable TD run against the Saints in the playoffs. Similarities between Drew Brees and Russell Wilson should be on display, too. 14 Dec. 9 8:30 p.m. Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears Drama tends to follow Tony Romo and Jay Cutler. This one could have playoff implications, too. 15 Dec. 16 8:30 p.m. Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions The defending Super Bowl champs make their lone "MNF" appearance on the road against a non-division opponent. A perceived slight, or a real one? 16 Dec. 23 8:30 p.m. Atlanta Falcons at
San Francisco 49ersThis rematch of the NFC Championship Game moves to San Francisco for one of the final home games at Candlestick Park. The 49ers expect to open their new stadium in 2014.
Sunday Night Football is boss as usual

Definitely going to Indianapolis for det Week 8 SNF matchup with the Broncos, also nice to see the Colts magical season earned them 5 primetime games compared to 1 last season.
Hey JT, you going to see Indy play New England this year? I've been thinking about a road trip. Will I piss everyone off if I wear my Brady jersey?![]()
Actually braj for the first time in what seems like forever, the Colts and Patriots do not play each other in the regular season. So suffice to say, yeah you'd probably piss off everyone in Indy if you wear a Brady jersey to a playoff game.
And even if they did play each other I am much more interested in seeing Peyton take the field there as an opponent. Gonna cheer against that dude really hard.
5 prime time games for dem skins nice
