Was just looking at our schedule and noticed the one Bye Week.

Having two this year was an anomaly I think. Can't remember if it's that's WHY they had week zero, or they had week zero because of the way the calendar fell or something. But yeah I don't think it's a recurring thing.

RA'd to remove this terrible scourge of a post from this board.

However many Saturdays there are from the Saturday before Labor Day until the Saturday after Thanksgiving determines this. Most years there are 13 (which means 1 bye) but some there are 14 (like this year), which gives teams 2 byes.

every few seasons has 2 byes, has to do with whether or not Labor Day falls in the first 3 days of September or something like that

More like since 2000 but I don't pay attention to schedules and byes that much. Certainly wasn't going to do research past this season to see what it actually was last year. So that's my fault.

We had 2 this year because of the really early Labor Day.

It does not happen often, a lot depends on when Thanksgiving is (4th Thursday), when it is late in the month like this year (November 28th) it can happen.

Every team in the West is guaranteed 2 bye weeks because they play Arkansas.

Depends on the calendar
At some point there will be another season with two byes

2024 and 2025 are the next double bye weeks. 2030 and 2031. When Labor Day falls on September 1st or 2nd meaning the season starts on August 30 or 31 you will have double bye weeks.
There's been talk about moving the season up a week in other seasons to have a permanent double bye season.

That’s actually the way it usually is. We had two this year because of how Labor Day fell or something to that nature

I think that was just an extra scheduling quirk. That actually gave Florida and Miami 3 bye weeks.
