The 2022 NFL schedule will be released in full next Thursday, May 12, but there are already several things we know about the Detroit Lions’ schedule. We know their full home and away split of opponents, we know they will not travel overseas for any international games, and we know—according to last year’s records—it is expected to be one of the easier schedules in the league.
Thanks to some mathematics from Bookies.com’s Bill Speros, there’s also another benefit from the schedule the Lions will enjoy. Per Speros, the Lions will travel just 8,348 miles for road games this season—the second-lowest mileage of any other team this year.
