"2023 NFL Schedule Release: Notable Teams and Winners/Losers"

The NFL has released its full 18-week schedule for the 2023 regular season, with four teams - Colts, Cardinals, Texans, and Falcons - not receiving a single prime-time game. These teams were all in the top 10 of the NFL Draft, indicating that they were not competitive in the previous season. However, the NFL has the ability to flex games throughout the year, so these teams could end up in a national window if they are in a playoff push or a high-profile game. The Falcons, with a win total of eight, are arguably the most interesting team without a prime-time game and could be flexed in if they are in contention for the NFC South title.
