Colts schedule one of the worst in terms of Rest Disadvantage

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Rest Disadvantage means how many days the opponents of 2024 have got more rest days than Colts, and that number is -17, that means Colts will be playing more teams coming off Bye week or extra rest days.

It is a factor.  Players hate the Thursday night games because a lot of the time their bodies are just recovering from the last game.  Kind of explains why those games are usually bad football.  
 

Selfishly, I’d like to have a game on every day, lol!

While the last two games are TBD, the Colts play the first 15 games on Sunday, and only one of those Sunday night.

 

As of now, the Colts will not have a short week the whole season..This is a good thing.

Well, the Colts play the Packers in week 2. The Packers play the previous Friday in Brazil then have to fly back to Wisconsin. Is that 2 days ( Sat,Sun) considered an advantage?

Rest is just as important as the training. It allows the body to harden itself and improve. 
 

I’m sure some will find that for * though.

Yes, travel time and schedule varies for different locations, sometimes even between coasts, and that's not taken into account there.. FWIW, Brazil to WI is mostly North-South travel, and I think jet lag will not be a problem. Some players do travel well, while some don't so such variances are not considered in "rest disadvantage".

Anyone got the stats on which teams will travel the most? After the 1st 4 games, home and away games alternate each week for the rest of the season for the Colts! Might get a little exhausting having to travel back and forth from Indy to wherever each week!

Chargers.

36 time zone changes.

26,803 total miles.

To add to the post:

 

LA hosts Vegas week one then immediately flies to Carolina. Then Pittsburgh. Then fly back to host Kansas. And then a week 5 bye (which I think they should do away with).
