The NFL is releasing their 2014 regular season schedule at 8 p.m. on the NFL Network -- Bengals.com usually releases that information at that time so you really don't have to sit around and watch the special.
While all of that happens, here's an open thread to talk about the schedule release.
We're also offering a contest -- the winner earns respect. Here's the contest.
Predict the entire regular season -- the week Cincinnati plays an opponent, the bye week, dates and kickoff times. Good luck. Lol.
Update
Here's what the Thanksgiving slate of games looks like:

According to Colts punter Pat McCafee, his team will open the year at Denver on Sunday Night football:

That could be followed up with an Eagles - Colts primetime matchup in Week 2.
The defending Super Bowl champs will host the Packers to open the 2014 season:
Just been told that the #Packers will open the season at #Seahawks in the kickoff opener.

#Packers-#Seahawks makes for a matchup with a ton of story lines, not the least of which the #FailMary game.

And in a far less appealing matchup, the Giants will open the year at Detroit on Monday Night Football.
