2017 NFL schedule release is coming soon

The 2017 NFL schedule is expected to be announced next week on Thursday, April 20. Detroit Lions president Rod Wood revealed as much last night. If that date holds, this year’s schedule will be released exactly one week before the 2017 NFL Draft.

The NFL already announced the league’s preseason schedule earlier this week. Here’s a look at who the Eagles will play.

Week 1 - Away at Green Bay Packers

Week 2 - Home versus Buffalo Bills

Week 3 - Home versus Miami Dolphins

Week 4 - Away at New York Jets

We also already know which teams the Eagles will play this season. We just don’t know the order yet. Here’s a look at Philadelphia’s 2017 opponents.

HOME

Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears

AWAY

Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers

Bleeding Green Nation will have full coverage of the schedule release next week, including some all-important and yet entirely meaningless record predictions! (Spoiler alert: Eagles going 19-0.)
