Flexible scheduling: NFL flex scheduling can now occur as soon as Week 5. It used to be that Week 11 was the earliest time games could be flexed to NBC's Sunday Night Football. It's worth noting that the NFL is only allowed to flex no more than two games between Weeks 5 and 10.

The NFL schedule follows a set pattern each year so we already have an idea of who the Eagles will play in future seasons. Six of the Eagles' sixteen opponents will always be their NFC East rivals: the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins. The Eagles will also play the entirety of one of the NFC Divisions. Last year's lackluster NFC South is in rotation for 2015, featuring the Panthers, Falcons, Saints, and Buccaneers.

Another four games will come against an AFC Division. This year, the Eagles will face the AFC East: Patriots, Dolphins, Bills, and Jets. That division obviously holds the reigning Super Bowl 48 champions: New England.

The remaining two games come against NFC teams that finish in the same spot in the divisional standings as the Eagles. Since the Eagles finished second in their division in 2014, they will play the NFC North runner-up Lions and NFC West runner-up Cardinals.

If the formulaic schedule doesn't change, this is what the Eagles' future opponents will look like:

2016: NFC North, AFC North, NFC West and South divisional finish, NFC East

2017: NFC West, AFC West, NFC North and South divisional finish, NFC East

2018: NFC South, AFC East, NFC West and North divisional finish, NFC East
