    Safe or risky? How Patrick Mahomes, Fernando Mendoza impacted NFL's 2026 schedule decisions
    As the NFL schedule makers navigated the innumerable iterations of the 2026 NFL schedule, they took risks on some big quarterback decisions and remained conservative on others.Scheduling Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for Monday Night Football on Week 1 was their first risk. Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL in December and continues to rehabilitate toward a return. League executives said Friday they did not have inside information about Mahomes health or timeline.As far as Patrick Mahomes, look, we didn't know anything more than anyone else, NFL EVP of media distribution Hans Schroeder said. But the Chiefs are an incredible story. They're one of the most popular teams in the league right now. They've been on an incredibly successful run for a number of years now and have built a hugely popular fan base. So we went into the year planning to play the Chiefs in the same number of windows.We didn't know anything more than you did, but we were certainly hoping Patrick would be back Week 1.The growing NFL holiday schedule? NFL VP of broadcasting planning admits they're "stretched as thin as we can be on Sunday afternoon" after Thanksgiving, Christmas. But comfortable.Fans vote with their remotes. Theyve shown us an interest in watching NFL games on Christmas. pic.twitter.com/1IM5iZudRg Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) May 15, 2026The Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos on Sept. 14 in what the league will also hope is Denver quarterback Bo Nixs return from a broken ankle in the divisional round.Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Thursday on NFL Network that Mahomes is doing great right now as he rehabilitates for seven hours a day and wants more.Hes making progress, but you dont know Reid said. If its Pat[s desire], hed go play today. But thats not where were at here. Weve got time and lets see where were at.Reid said he did not share information with the schedule-makers, joking about the toll of the leagues increasingly ambitious international slate.I dont give them anything, dadgumit, Reid said. You give them too much, youre going to be playing over in Australia dadgumit.The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will play in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday night of the first week.How many eyes on the first overall pick?The Tennessee Titans selected Miami quarterback Cam Ward first overall last season. They played in zero prime-time games during his rookie year and are scheduled for zero again in his sophomore year.And Wards successor as the first overall pick? Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendozas debut date remains in question as he joins veteran Kirk Cousins in the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback room. But Mendoza or not, the NFL will not guarantee the Raiders a prime-time game.Nobody knows if or when Mendoza might play, NFL VP of broadcasting planning Mike North said. Its certainly something that would be great if we knew. We dont. But they went out and signed a very competent quarterback. And if they find themselves playoff relevant and hovering around .500 in the middle of the season, they might be a little more reluctant to pull the trigger and move to the rookie.If theyre playoff relevant, they will find themselves in a bigger national television window, whether its Sunday night, Monday night or just a bigger national footprint on a Sunday afternoon.The NFL has the ability to flex late-season games to prime-time windows. They did not flex the Titans last year but could flex the Raiders this year if Las Vegas exceeds competitive expectations. The Raiders and Titans join the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins as teams scheduled for zero prime-time windows this year.If it feels like international slate's getting more exciting games, you're not imagining it. Mike North says NFL used to let teams block 4-5 home games from international. Then 3, then 2 & now:Theres a lot of conversations about eliminating the protections in their entirety. pic.twitter.com/SkLdPzaZ6D Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) May 15, 2026In comparison, the Los Angeles Rams have seven prime-time appearances followed by several teams with six or five.Thats what flexible scheduling is for, North said. That's why we put it in. That's why we work with our partners every year to ensure that the teams that have played their way into bigger television windows have an opportunity to be rewarded when we get into November and December and the crystal ball isn't always as clear as we hoped.Competitive potential, rather than star power, will dictate schedule, Schroeder said. Four of the five teams shut out of prime time won just three games last year. The Miami Dolphins won seven but have since began a thorough rebuild that has featured a change at head coach, general manager and quarterback.The key to earning a flexed prime-time window?We don't draft our way into prime time, Schroeder said. We play our way into prime time.Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen schedule a surpriseLast year, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills faced off Week 1 on Sunday Night Football. The matchup of recent MVPs in Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen lived up to its billing, the Bills coming back from a 15-point deficit to edge the Ravens, 41-40.Each team fired its coach at seasons end.And now, the still-high-profile quarterbacks will face off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday on Nov. 1.League executives cited that scheduling decision as a defense of their Sunday and broadcast interest as week day and streaming partnerships expand.Bears & Bills are each scheduled for Thanksgiving & Christmas both. Any concerns?North: "Its a privilege, frankly, to play in those windows. Youve earned it. Its important. And our fans are there. Theyre voting with their remotes & we owe it to them to give them big games." Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) May 15, 2026The Sunday 1 o'clock window still matters, North said. It matters to the league, it matters to our partners, it matters to our fans. No question you could put Baltimore-Buffalo in any of our prime-time packages and any one of our partners would've been thrilled to get it and you might've had 18 or 20 million people watching that game. As a 1 o'clock anchor for CBS in Week 8, it may get to 75% of the country there. As a lead into a 4:25 doubleheader window featuring the Chiefs [at Broncos], you might actually have more people watching that game on CBS Sunday at 1 o'clock than you might have if it was on Monday night or Thursday night.So obviously, perfectly good enough for prime time. No hesitation to have it anchor a 1 o'clock window. It reaffirms our commitment to keeping the Sunday afternoons strong.

    2026 Preakness Stakes Odds: Favorites, Best Bets, Longshots
    The 151st running of the Preakness Stakes will go down Saturday at Laurel Park in Maryland, with post time scheduled for approximately 6:50 p.m. EST. The Preakness won't be held at its usual home, Pimlico Race Course, because the historic venue is undergoing a $400 million demolition and reconstruction project, forcing the race to temporarily move to Laurel. This years race will not feature Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, as trainer Cherie DeVaux announced the decision was made to prioritize the horses health and recovery following a demanding Derby victory. Golden Tempo's team decided to give him more than the traditional two weeks of rest, aiming instead for the Belmont Stakes on June 6 and officially ending any chance at a Triple Crown bid. Additionally, Kentucky Derby favorite Renegade, who finished a close second in that race, will also bypass the Preakness and target the Belmont. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. However, Kentucky Derby third-place finisher Ocelli will run alongside 13 other horses in what should be a loaded field and an excellent betting race. With that said, lets dive into the odds. Preakness Stakes morning line odds Iron Honor: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)Incredibolt: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Taj Mahal: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Chip Honcho: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)Ocelli: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Napoleon Solo: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)Great White: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Pretty Boy Miah: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)The Hell We Did: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Talkin: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Crupper: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Robusta: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Bull By The Horns: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Corono De Oro: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total) The Favorite Iron Honor is the morning-line favorite at +450. The horse has one of the best trainer-jockey combinations in the race with Chad Brown and Flavien Prat. Brown has won the Preakness Stakes twice, in 2017 and 2022, while Prat won the race in 2021. Iron Honor is lightly raced, making only three starts and winning two of them. Because of his seventh-place finish in the Wood Memorial, he did not qualify for the Kentucky Derby, but his fast speed figures and upside give him the nod on the betting board. Incredibolt is one of the morning-line second choices at +500. Trained by Riley Mott, he is coming off a sixth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby, where he was beaten by only four lengths after putting up a strong fight. Unlike many of the top Derby finishers, Incredibolt will return to run in the Preakness Stakes just two weeks later. He owns a 3-for-6 career record and profiles as a late-closing horse that will come from behind down the stretch. The Pick Chip Honcho provides great value in this race. Currently listed at +500, he offers tactical speed and owns some of the fastest speed figures in the field. He is trained by Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, who has more than 11,200 career wins in North America, and will be ridden by Jose Ortiz, the jockey who won this years Kentucky Derby aboard Golden Tempo. Chip Honcho has the best chance to win this race. Longshot Bet When betting a loaded race like this in a 14-horse field, taking a flier on a longshot is always fun, just like we saw when Golden Tempo crossed the wire first in the Kentucky Derby at a big price. In this years Preakness Stakes, Robusta provides tremendous value at +3000 not only to potentially win, but also in exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Robusta finished 14th in the Kentucky Derby and was beaten by 17 lengths. On paper, that performance looks poor, but in reality, he endured a very difficult and troubled trip. Robusta has posted fast speed figures three and four starts ago that are good enough to win this race. At a massive price, why not take a flier?
