Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world, the wealthiest professional sport league by revenue, and the sport league with the most valuable teams. The regular season runs from September to December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.
The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself as the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreed to merge with rival American Football League (AFL) in 1966, creating a 26-team league with two conferences. The AFL began in 1960 and was considered by many to be a major challenger to NFL’s dominance until it merged with it in 1970. Today, over 240 million people in North America—almost one third of television viewers—watch NFL games on Sundays. For much of its history, pro football has been entwined with gambling; games were often bet on through organized crime networks before regulated off-track betting was introduced decades later.
