Open thread to discuss tonight's NFL schedule release

Redskins Schedule Revealed

The NFL schedule is set to be released tonight at 8 pm on NFL Network, but the leaks have already started coming out. Nine games have already been reported including the season opener, and one of the three Thanksgiving games. We looked at some Redskins odds earlier today. Now we wait for a few Redskins leaks, which have been harder to come by this year.

Our friends at Numberfire sent us some more odds for the upcoming season:

As of now, given the teams that Washington will face in 2015, the Redskins have a 11.20% chance of making the playoffs, a 6.49% chance of winning the NFC East, and a 0.14% chance of winning the Super Bowl. Washington will have a 0.40% harder time making the playoffs than a team with an average strength of schedule.

To put this in perspective, Buffalo has the easiest schedule in the NFL (9.27% easier the league average) and Green Bay has the hardest schedule in the NFL (8.25% tougher than the league average).

First bit of schedule information: Packers will host the Bears on Thanksgiving night. #ESPNNFL
