About NFL Schedule

Currently, each team's 16-game regular season schedule is set using a pre-determined formula:

Each team plays the other three teams in their division twice: once at home, and once on the road (six games).

Each team plays the four teams from another division within its own conference once on a rotating three-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games).

Each team plays the four teams from a division in the other conference once on a rotating four-year cycle: two at home, and two on the road (four games).

Each team plays once against the other teams in its conference that finished in the same place in their own divisions as themselves in the previous season, not counting the division they were already scheduled to play: one at home, one on the road (two games).

This schedule guarantees that all teams will play each other at least once every four years. Ideally, it also secures alternating home and away games, but in some instances this goal has been set aside for other scheduling priorities (for example the Seahawks played both at Cleveland and at Pittsburgh in 2007 and will be on the road against both teams again in 2011[2] [3] (as well as being at home against Cincinnati and Baltimore both years as well). This schedule also guarantees that regardless of a given team's final divisional placement in the previous season, the 16 games that team plays in this current season will consist of:

four games against opponents who finished the previous season in first place in their respective divisions,

four games against opponents who finished the previous season in second place in their respective divisions,

four games against opponents who finished the previous season in third place in their respective divisions, and

four games against opponents who finished the previous season in fourth place in their respective divisions.
