From that weekend through the end of the calendar year, each team plays 16 games, for a total of 256 games. Each team is given one “bye week” during which it does not play. Byes are staggered so that no more than two bye weeks occur in any one week of the season. NFL regular season games are mostly played on Sundays, with a handful of Monday and Thursday night games sprinkled throughout the schedule.
The playoffs
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records, and a seventh team is awarded a berth in each conference if it has the best record among all remaining teams.
In the days and weeks leading up to the playoffs, various sports media outlets release their predictions for which teams will advance to and ultimately win Super Bowl LIII. ESPN’s panel of experts unanimously selected the New England Patriots as their pre-playoff favorite to win Super Bowl LIII.
