NFL to release team schedules Thursday at 1pm

The NFL will release the team by team schedules for the 2006 season Thursday at 1pm. If you're like me, you've been waiting for this since free agency began. I've been waiting to map out my plans for road trips this fall. There are at least 3 games that I plan on attending and one I already know the date for. Those games are Jacksonville, Atlanta and Carolina with possible trips to Tennessee, Washington or maybe a trip to Dallas. I hoped to schedule one of the games around a Clemson game but one of those possibilities was dashed as I was hoping Dallas would play in Jacksonville the same weekend Clemson is in Tallahassee. As luck would have it, they play there a week later. Dallas has 8 games against playoff teams from last year. Here are the teams that Dallas will play at home and on the road:

HOME		AWAY
New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles Washington Redskins New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers Detroit Lions Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts		New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles Washington Redskins Atlanta Falcons Carolina Panthers Arizona Cardinals Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans

I'll have a post up late Thursday with the Dallas schedule.
