Sweet. Miami gets to play the NFC North. But Pitt, Indy and Chicago on the road is rough.

Funny. As a Vikings fan, i looked at it and thought, "Sweet. The Vikes get to play the Fins."

Overall, though, a pretty tough schedule for the Vikes. A couple of cupcake teams but overall not easy.

Oh yeah, 9-7 after winning 4 the year before with a new head coach who has cleaned house and is rebuilding a team destroyed by a moron coach. 6 game win streak to boot...undefeated in December and January. Wins against Denver, Carolina, New England and San Diego. I'm not thinking any HC will be saying "Oh great, we get to play Miami next year!"

Rather than get into a "discussion" about this one, I'll just simply say let's wait until next year to see how that turns out for the Chiefs. I'm betting on a split at best for you guys...

That is really sweet about the afc and nfc west playing each other. All similar schedules between them which will give us a better view of the teams.
Now that I keep lookin it all looks like the divisions have the same opp. which will bring out the coolest games I think we have seen for some time. Battle of towns that we usually don't see brings back some rivalries.
What was the reasoning for the similar schedules? Does it have to do with the salary cap questions of 2007? I know it sounds wierd but it would bring more excitement and following to the cause of the nfl keeping a salary cap.

cool, the vikes schedule looks pretty average, a few easy teams and the few hard ones.

Not neccesarily for the Chiefs even though if I had to pick one division out of the NFC i'd want to play thatd be it but for fantasy wise for Larry Johnson, Ladanian Tomlinson etc. there going to have a nice string of at least 3 games vs. them.

AFC west is regarded as one of the strongest divisons while NFC west is regarded as one of the weakest. While im not saying there isn't teams that are on the uprising but still there teams dont compare to AFC west, besides Oakland.

and for the 6th year in a row New England faces off against Indy.
