For the most part, the NFL's schedule release is overblown.
We already know which teams are facing which and where those games will take place. Those are the fun parts of the schedule.
When they occur? Meh.
But there are still big implications for betting. Not only can you start to get Week 1 bets down, but we get a glimpse at travel and rest, and it can inform when we want to bet on a team we like.
Does the schedule start soft? Bet them now.
Does it start tough and then loosen up?
