Current formula NFL regular season

-




currently, thirteen opponents each team faces on 16-game regular season schedule set using pre-determined formula:



each team plays twice against each of other 3 teams in division: once @ home, , once on road (six games).
each team plays once against each of 4 teams division within own conference, assigned division based on three-year rotation: 2 @ home, , 2 on road (four games).
each team plays once against 1 team each of remaining 2 divisions within conference, based on final division standings prior season: 1 @ home, 1 on road (two games).
each team plays once against each of 4 teams division in other conference, assigned division based on four-year rotation: 2 @ home, , 2 on road (four games).

under formula, teams guaranteed play every other team in own conference @ least once every 3 years, , play every team in other conference once every 4 years. formula guarantees similar schedule every team in division each season, 4 teams play fourteen out of sixteen games against common opponents or each other.


non-divisional intraconference match-ups can occur on consecutive years if 2 teams happen finish in same place consistently. example, though colts , patriots in different divisions within same conference, 2 teams played each other every season between 2003 , 2012, largely because both teams finished in first place in divisions each previous season. similarly, redskins , rams played each other each season 2008 2012 because both teams landed in fourth place in divisions.


outside intradivisional match-ups (each of played twice-yearly), home team each match-up determined league according set rotation designed largely alternate home , away designations on successive years. rotation adjusted in 2010 teams playing against nfc west , afc west, after several east-coast teams (such new england patriots , new york jets in 2008) had make 4 cross-country trips play games in san diego, san francisco, oakland, , seattle in 1 season.


although scheduling formula determines each of thirty-two teams respective opponents, league not release final regular schedule specific dates , times until spring; nfl needs several months coordinate entire season schedule that, among other reasons, games worked around various scheduling conflicts, , helps maximize tv ratings. since 2010, last week of regular season has consisted solely of divisional match-ups, in attempt discourage playoff-bound teams resting starters , playing reserves.
