I kind of assumed the three games would basically be like the weeks 1-3 in years past, and they'd treat the extra week off between the last preseason game and the first regular season game. It kind of seems like some teams are treating week 1 this year a little bit closer to week 4 in past years. It will be interesting to see if teams treat week 2 as the dress-rehearsal, and use week 3 for rest, and bubble decisions. Or, will they use week 3 as the dress-rehearsal since they will have another week of practice under the belt, and still get the extra week of rest.
