What do you think about this type of NFL schedule each year ?

[WorldNumberOne]

instead of having divisions , just have nfc and afc .

you play everyone in your division 1 time . you play 1 rival 2 times. 16 game schedule. 8 home / 8 away .

top 6 make playoffs in each league like now with top 2 getting byes.

basically get rid of the divisions and the playing those teams twice each.

play everyone .

Interesting.

I think also you switch up every other year and play the other conference the next year. Basically your proposing a baseball type schedule from back in the day before inter-league play. So each conference team plays the same schedule for the year. I think that would very fair. I like it.

One thing that I dont think gets enough discussion and I feel something us as gamblers dont use enough with NFL is strength of schedule. I think this is a big facotr on how teams should be measured obviously but really isnt when people discuss NFL teams.

i would even be in favor of the conferences playing each other in the playoffs .

meaning the top 2 teams in each league get a bye .

this weekend would look like this

# 3 nfc vs # 6 afc
# 4 nfc vs # 5 afc

# 3 afc vs # 6 nfc
# 4 afc vs # 5 nfc

might actually end up with the best 2 teams playing in the super bowl .

True. People say how unfair NE not making the playoffs at 11-5 but SD was 8-8. SD's nonconference included the NFC South, while the Pats played the NFC West.

Makes too much sense....NFL wouldn't go for it....

if pats or dolphins played steelers or ravens schedule, they would've been 8-8 at best.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

you guys are making my point..

my schedule has everybody playing the same teams.

then we switch up how the playoffs work.

i'm gonna make a call to the commish...

Unfair if your one rival that you play twice is a good team, while somebody else gets the Lions twice.

 

[LogansRun]

For that sixteenth game how about playing the team in the other conference with the same seed # as you from the previous year?

 

[WorldNumberOne]

Unfair if your one rival that you play twice is a good team, while somebody else gets the Lions twice.

got to have some way to get to 16 games so their are 8 road and 8 home.

only way i could think of was to keep the rivalries in tact.
