Welcome to the Friday the 13th edition of the Pick Six newsletter!I'm not sure if everyone's heard yet, but the WAS RELEASED LAST NIGHT. If you're wondering why I'm writing in all caps, it's because I haven't slept in 31 hours, I've had nine cups of coffee since last night and my brain is so fried that I'm not even sure what's real or how a keyboard works anymore. Also, I have watched the schedule release video more times than I care to admit. If you haven't watched it yet, you . It has nearly 160,000 likes on Twitter, which I'm not sure if that says more about the video or the people on Twitter.Anyway,
Carlos Asuaje Jersey I'm gue sing you already know what we're going to be covering today and if you gue sed the NFL schedule, then you are correct.

All you have to do is . Alright, let's get to the rundown.PS: if you mi sed the schedule release, you can see . 1. Today's show: Instant reaction to the 2022 NFL scheduleI wasn't the host of today's episode of the Pick Six Podcast, which was probably for the best, because if I had been hosting, I would have demanded that we go over every single game on the schedule, which probably would have taken roughly 11 hours.Instead of me as host, Will Brinson was in charge of things today and the two of us broke down the release of the 2022 NFL schedule. Although we didn't go through every team's schedule, we did cover the big stuff. First, we went through some of the biggest games in Week 1 and even made a few picks. For instance, Brinson and I both think the are going to destroy the in the opening Monday night game. Does that mean you should fade us and bet ? Probably.After that, we went through the holiday games, which don't: The also put THREE Christmas games on the schedule ( at , Broncos at , at ). With ,
Matt Szczur Jersey , and the defending champs all playing on Dec. 25, it seems like the NFL's plan on Christmas is to make everyone forget that the NBA exists. After talking about the holiday games, we went through and ranked our favorite prime-time games. The one thing I will say is that Brinson REFUSED to put any games in his rankings. The Titans play both the Packers and on a Thursday and neither of them cracked Brinson's list of best Thursday games. STOP WITH THE TITANS SLANDER, BRINSON. There I go, typing in all caps again. I'm clearly cranky. I need a nap.Anyway, if you want to hear everything we had to say about the schedule, then make sure to listen to today's podcast, which you can do . You . 2. 2022 NFL schedule: Best game each weekThere are 272 games on the NFL schedule this year, and although I would like to talk about each one individually in this newsletter, I've been told that's not realistic, so instead, we're going to go through each week of the schedule and pick out the best game. With the addition of the 17th game, that means there are 18 weeks during the regular season this year and our Jared Dubin went through each week to find the best game.

Tony Gwynn Jersey team's schedule and . 3. Ranking the 10 must-watch games on the NFL scheduleIf you read this newsletter regularly, then you probably know that we love to rank things here, so obviously, we had to rank the best games on the schedule.By the way, we hired a new NFL writer last week (Shanna McCarriston), which I'm only noting right now because Shanna is the one who put this list together.

Quirks on the 2022 NFL scheduleAfter the schedule comes out each year, my favorite thing to do is comb through all 32 schedules to see if I can find any quirks. Sure, that means I'm up for 17 straight hours going through each schedule after they come out, but the good news is that I found quite a few quirks, so it was time well spent, but also, I need another cup of coffee already.So what kind of quirks are we talking about here? Let's find out. will be spending December at home.The Bears got an especially unique scheduling quirk: They don't play a SINGLE

They have a bye in Week 14 (Dec. 11) and then they follow that up with a home game in Weeks 15 (Dec. 18) and 16 (Dec. 24). Although they do play a road game in Week 17, that game falls on Jan. 1, which means they have ZERO road games in December.Chiefs get handed killer opening schedule.With their 2022 schedule, the Chiefs will become the first team in NFL history to open a season with eight straight games against teams that finished above .500 the prior season (Via ). The stretch starts in Week 1 when they travel to and then continues to Week 9. Here's a look at their brutal opening eight-game gauntlet: at Cardinals, Chargers, at , at Buccaneers, Raiders, Bills, at 49ers, bye, Titans. and Ravens with bizarre start to schedule.The Jets will start the season by playing every team in the AFC North over the first four weeks since the 1970 merger that the Jets have played four straight games against the same division at any point in a season.
