How NFL travel miles are calculated

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

Jacksonville has a net rest disadvantage of 3 days across the 2026 schedule, ranking 21st in the league.
