How NFL travel miles are calculated

Neutral-site and international games are measured from home. MockSlate measures each trip from Lambeau Field as the crow flies, rounded to ten miles. All 32 teams ranked →

Green Bay has a net rest disadvantage of 1 day across the 2026 schedule, ranking 18th in the league.
