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 is a 17-week schedule during which each team plays 16 games and has 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.

While there are many contradictory reports on which team will be playing in the NFL tomorrow, we can take a look at some common theories.

The teams

In the National Football League (NFL), there are two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is then split into four divisions, North, South, East, and West.

The NFL is unique among major American sports leagues in that there is no mechanism for relegated teams. This means that once a team joins the NFL, they cannot be demoted or sent down to a lower league even if they have a poor season.

The teams that make up the AFC are:
-Buffalo Bills
-Miami Dolphins
-New England Patriots
-New York Jets
-Baltimore Ravens
-Cincinnati Bengals
-Cleveland Browns
-Pittsburgh Steelers
-Houston Texans
-Indianapolis Colts
-Jacksonville Jaguars

The players

The NFL’s 17-week regular season runs from early September to late 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 on the first Sunday 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 the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreed to merge with the American Football League (AFL) in 1966, and . . .

The game

NFL regular season games are played over a 17-week schedule that runs from early September to late December. Each team plays 16 games and has one bye week. A typical schedule features games against divisional rivals and other conference opponents, with occasional games against non-conference opponents. Out-of-division interconference play is rare during regular season but exists in the AFC–NFC playoff game and has been common in past seasons of Thursday Night Football.

The league’s playoff format changed for the 1978 season with 14 teams competing for the chance to win Super Bowl XIII, then expanding again to 16 teams beginning in 1990..In 2002, a new wild card team was added to each conference, bringing the total number of playoff teams to six from each conference. In 2010, another change brought two additional wild card berths from each conference for a total of twelve playoff qualifiers—eight division winners and four wild cards
