Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . With the NFL Draft concluding last month, the NFL season is slowly but surely gaining some steam.
With teams' schedules set to be released officially on Thursday, it's time to look at which teams will play the most on a national scale in prime time. Topping this year's charts at the No. 1 spot are none other than the Los Angeles Rams .
This will likely be quarterback Matthew Stafford's last season in the NFL, so a farewell tour in a prime TV slot would be a hot commodity to gain viewership during these hours.
