They are making it a Week 1 game. So the teams will be able to get out there early and have time to adjust.

However, having just recently traveled to Sydney a few months ago, I can attest that the flight back home really sucked. Took about 2-3 days to get back to somewhat normal. Definitely a disadvantage for the teams forced to travel halfway around the world.

I think starting the season with it is even worse--teams have shown to be wobbly in the first few games, just finding their feet. That's fine, when it's all the teams. This will set back whoever plays in those games at least several weeks as well, by which point a season is seriously affected.

As long as it's the Rams and never us, I wholeheartedly support this wonderful initiative

TNF, AUS, BYE

Technically, it will be FNF in AUS!

I prefer they travel to AUS over the EU to play. The 21 hour difference is easier than the 10 hours difference from a jet lag perspective. But I do not see them playing on TNF since the game would have to be a 2pm on a Friday in AUS to start at 5pm on a Thursday here. Wouldn't make sense. If they play at 10am on a Sunday in AUS, it would be at 1pm here on Saturday.

A 16 hour flight is never nice. If they give the players sleep pods, it might not be as bad though.
