NFL will announce 2013 schedule on Thursday

The NFL schedule for the 2013 season will be unveiled at 5 p.m. PT on Thursday, it was announced this morning.

The original release date was today, but the league postponed it. The schedule will be announced on the NFL Network as well as NFL.com.

So you’ll only have to wait a couple more days to find out how many nationally televised games the Seahawks will get. And when they will play the NFC West rival 49ers at CenturyLink Field and Candlestick Park. And when they will host the Saints in a rematch of that memorable wild-card playoff game after the 2010 season. And when they will play the Falcons in Atlanta in a rematch of last season’s divisional round playoff game. And when recently acquired receiver/runner/returner Percy Harvin will face his former team, the Vikings, at CenturyLink Field. And when former defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will bring his Jaguars to Seattle.

In case you’ve forgotten, here are the Seahawks’ home and away opponents:
