THE ANATOMY OF THE NFL SCHEDULE
The league's 32 teams are split into two conferences — the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The 16 teams in each conference are split into the East, North, South and West divisions; every division has four teams.The NFL season is not enough – 16 games. With 32 teams in the league, the season would need to be 64 games long. Football is simply too violent a sport for players to stay healthy for that long. The NBA season is 82 games long, so it's easy to make sure every team plays each other at least twice.
