Each of the 2021 Miami Dolphins’ scheduled opponents

The Miami Dolphins’ 2020 season has come to a close. And while the new season is as far away as it will ever be this morning, we still know plenty about what the 2021 season will look like for Miami. Primarily, we know what the opponents will look like. Here’s what we know about the 2021 Miami Dolphins schedule:

Home Games

vs. Carolina Panthers

vs. Atlanta Falcons

vs. Buffalo Bills

vs. New England Patriots

vs. New York Jets

vs. Baltimore Ravens

vs. Indianapolis Colts

vs. Houston Texans

Miami’s home slate is a favorable one, with the exception of those darn Bills and Ravens being on the schedule at all. Miami hasn’t had favorable history against either team as of late, but Miami’s young roster will have enough pieces around to remember the shellackings given out by Baltimore (2019) and Buffalo (2020) and hopefully use those games as “get up” opportunities.

Vikings’ opponents for 2021 are set

Highlights include the Cardinals, Ravens and Cowboys.

The Vikings beat the Lions on Sunday and finished the 2020 season with a record of 7-9, good for third in the NFC North.

With that, we now know how the Vikings will be playing in 2021.

The home games will feature: Rams, Cowboys, Steelers, Seahawks, Packers, Bears and Lions.

The away games will feature: Cardinals, Ravens, Panthers, Bengals, 49ers, Packers, Bears and Lions.

It’s probably too early to say whether or not this is a difficult schedule, but it doesn’t look particularly easy.

Report: Saints to face AFC South winner as 2021’s new 17th opponent

The NFL plans to expand its regular season in 2021, teeing up the New Orleans Saints to face the upcoming AFC South-champion Titans or Colts

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”IdbyFdJSQ3-1087580-7498″]

The NFL plans to expand its regular season schedule in 2021 by adding a 17th game to the schedule, which will do a lot to help alleviate pressure on teams running tight against the salary cap like the New Orleans Saints by bringing in new revenue. And now the MMQB’s Albert Breer reports some clarity on just where the league plans to find opponents for that extra week.

Breer passed along an outline of the one-game NFC-AFC crossover schedule, which will begin in the 2021 season. It has the NFC South facing their counterparts in the AFC South, with the top-seeded Saints matching up with whoever claims this year’s division title — it’s coming down to a Week 17 race between the Tennessee Titans and the Indianapolis Colts, both owning 10-5 records.

The Titans are traveling to face the reeling Houston Texans, while the Colts will host the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s uncertain just yet where this 17th game between the Saints and the AFC South champions (whoever they are) will be played, whether at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans or in Tennessee’s Nissan Stadium or Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium.

And we also don’t know yet how the rotation will change in the future. Whatever the case, the NFL’s regular season schedule is soon increasing from the usual 256 games to 272. And the Saints will be preparing accordingly.
