The Week 1 NFL schedule features division games, including the Cowboys at Eagles and the Chargers vs. Chiefs in Brazil, raising the question of whether division matchups will dominate. Since 2010, the season has concluded with division games, yet the significance of this practice remains unclear, especially if playoff teams rest starters. With three division rivalries last year and two expected this year, prime-time games like Steelers vs. Bengals or Packers vs. Lions could highlight early rivalries, although it limits future rematch flexibility due to broadcasting rules.
