First glance the Cowboys look to have a brutal schedule.

thought the same thing about the eagles.

You're the second person to post this, and both have SD playing @ Seattle. SD played in Seattle in '06, so the game should be played in SD, and Denver playing in Seattle.

I always like to see who gets 4 games to feast on the AFC West and NFC West defenses.

This year the AFC South gets the AFC West, the NFC South gets the NFC West, and the AFC & NFC West get each other.

Just a copy/paste Zigg. I don't know if they alternate the home / away on the rotations with 100% consistency or not. Maybe there's a conflict with some other event that had to be worked around. Just guessing.

Looks like Detroit will play either NE or NYJ on Thanksgiving (since CBS is carrying the game).

Saints-Cowboys on Thanksgiving? Also could be the Bears or a division game.

I've always assumed it was a simple home then away rotation. If so, then it should be in SD. If not, then I guess I'm wrong.
