Did the NFL hand the Baltimore Ravens a huge advantage this season? Will the San Francisco 49ers' schedule hamstring them? Fresh from his exhaustive annual deep dive into the NFL schedule is friend of the show Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis, who joins Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter to talk all things NFL schedule. With 101 games this season featuring one team on a distinct rest disadvantage, schedule equity is at an all-time low. Together this trio talks about the NFL's drive to sell sizzling matchups across an expanding variety of broadcast and streaming partners, while maximizing interest and minimizing competitive inequalities. Can they succeed in this effort? And has Taylor Swift and her army of followers become a new factor the NFL must consider? As Simon Hunter points out, "this feels like the first time they are selling quarterback matchups more than team matchups."
