From a schedule perspective, theres a pretty sizable advantage to playing your most difficult game in Week 1 when you are still 0-0.
I mean, as a team, you don't want to start 0-3, or 0-4 because the NFL loaded up all your hard games at the beginning of the year, but giving your team 6 months to prepare for the theoretical 'toughest' game of the year is a pretty big advantage.
