    This is looking good for fans in the UK, two bites at the cherry this coming year, with the potential for 4 within the next 3 years. Furthermore, the Commissioner said before this year's game that the NFL was perhaps "a decade away" from having a London-based franchise. That would be impressive, and the success of the recent games at Wembley has shown that there is definitely the demand for a franchise.

    Oh hai chingy, welcome back. I'm iffy on this, more towards the point of It could throw off a team even though a bye would follow. It's a weird spot

    Hate it.

    A team loses a home game because of this.

    They do agree to it, though. From the article they have two teams signed up to be the home teams but haven't yet decided who the away teams will be; there's no shortage of demand to be the home team. From a business perspective, they will sell a hell of a lot more merchandise in the UK if they appear at Wembley, so financially struggling teams ought to want to do it.
