You can print the schedule, as long as you do not use the NFL team logo (since doing so would violate the teams trademark) or reproduce the schedul exactly (e.g. the typography & layout), since that would violate their copyright. But you can re-layout the information and provide it, and you can use the team name so long as you do not use their logo: you are allowed to provide information, which cannot be copyrighted or trademarked, but may not use their marks or logos, and cannot copy the precise way they laid out or printed their schedule.
