"Previewing the 2023 NFL Schedule: Flex Options, Win Projections, and Matchup Predictions"

The NFL has released its 2023 regular-season schedule, but some of the most significant slots are still TBD, including the possibility of a flex option for Thursday night football games in Weeks 14-17. The proposal, which was two votes short of being adopted in March, has the support of Commissioner Roger Goodell and several powerful owners, but has faced opposition from some team owners and the NFL Players Association. The flex games would be determined with no less than 15 days’ notice, potentially causing inconvenience for fans and players.
