What would happen if a team started the season with 8 straight road games

[The Falcon Jedi]

And played the final 8 at home?

What kind of effect would that have on a football team? Good or Bad?

I can see both the Pros and Cons of a schedule like that.

Depends. If they ended up 4-4 after playing them - they'd be straight!

Yes.

Having an 8 game home-stand to finish the seasonu would be pretty cool too, because that's when you want all your home games. But those 8 weeks to begin the season would be a loooooong wait to see your team play.

Idk in my opinion by the time they get to the home games they team would be mentally exhausted from all the travel

I know we are moving on to Arizona...

But it did cross my mind that Pittsburgh would be tougher as a road game after having the last two preseason games on the road....

I think that was really the hardest part of our schedule.
