Yes, but the Panthers play the Seahawks, the Saints twice, the Falcons twice, the Bengals (two QBs selected from the 2011 draft, the league can and will market that), the Packers (media darling+ one of the flagship franchises), the Bears (see the Packers), the Eagles (large media market), and the Steelers (they get a billion prime-time games a year). Sure the Ravens could get a prime-time game because of the Steve Smith factor, but there's also a lot of other marketable games that the Panthers could get instead.

Does anyone know the actual day that the schedule gets announced?

It's usually been on a Tuesday, so I would guess the 15th or 22nd if it's like previous year.

Re: 2014 NFL Schedule Predictions
I wonder how much of the decision of what games get the national spotlight is driven by the presence of premier fantasy players. Fantasy football has become so huge, I bet there is a correlation between TV ratings and players like Stafford and Megatron, who play in a small market for a non-playoff team, but are prime players in every fantasy league.

Re: 2014 NFL Schedule Predictions
I don't quite agree. I think the networks want a high viewer rating, and a contest (such as Bills/Browns) would have most people watching reruns or old movies. Now they may want to show every team at least once, so a Bills - Patriots or Browns - Steelers game might corral some interest, don't count on two traditionally under performing teams being a match-up on prime time...
