Wednesday night, the NFL Schedule will be released. All 272 games will be unveiled, including all the matchups NFL fans across the country want to know the most.

Bengals fans also want a home primetime game against an AFC North team.

Both those games are mocked in November when the NFL season separates the contenders from the pretenders.
The home game against the Lions is probably the game most Bengals fans are looking forward to the most this season. It’s been 16 years since the Bengals played...
