Technically KC is probably the "easiest" one of the 4 now that Mahomes will be out. Yes, I think a game in LA against the Chargers is a harder game than in Lambeau against the Raiders. Chargers game would be home game for Packers. I am pretty confident that Packers fans will be more than chargers fans for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams fans dwarf the amount of Chargers fans so it’s going to be like Lambeau West in Carson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood people making a big deal about traveling time zones for NFL games. The games always start at the same time. 1EST ,~415EST, 820EST regardless of where there are played. The time zones have absolutely no affect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game starts at 1pm EST and the west coast team body clock feels like it is 10am. That body clock schedule has an influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there is a discussion about this every few years. Don't know how the last couple years played out but I'm positive as of a couple years ago there was no major difference between how teams fared outside of their timezones vs. in them. 1 hour ago, squire12 said: 3 hour time zone change from west coast to east coast.

I'm absolutely positive every team has a schedule set to be ready for each of the different start times and has that put into practice all season long. It would be absolutely idiotic not to.

ThatJerkDave Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I thought I read a couple of years ago that the effect on a time zone change was only for Pacific time zone teams traveling to play an early game at a Central or Eastern time zone venue. Most of the teams in the Pacific time zone play in the afternoon game. I don't recall if it was overall victories or just against the spread that was affected. But I do believe in the advantage of the East team, IF the teams are evenly matched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to Hawaii it was 6 hours (I'm in the EST). I didn't feel it until the return trip back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
