So the 2013 schedule is out. One thing jumped out at me: the 49ers have exactly 2 games starting at 10 AM Pacific time. 5 Prime-time games, and only 2 games scheduled on the eastern seaboard add up to 14 games starting either at night or at a normal time. That is fantastic. Looking at the strength of the opponents never means anything at this time of year, but seeing that only 2 of their games are starting early is something that actually makes a difference. Oh, and those 2 early starts are against the Jags and Bucs. Again, maybe those teams will be better this season, but I'd certainly rather that than, say, the Pats and Falcons or something.
Rooting for a good team pays off sometimes.
