I STILL say there's a Conspiracy.....
Then you are even dumber than I thought. And that's saying something
The schedule was made in early 2002 for the seasons 2002-2009. It was set up to be fair.
In those eight years, every AFC team will play every NFC team exactly twice, once at home and once away. Every NFC team will play a home and away with every AFC team.
Each year, each division will play all four teams in one of the other three conference divisions.
And, of course, every team plays the other three teams in their division twice, once home and once away.
This within-division home and away set accounts for 6 of the 16 games played each year.
And, as stated, every team in a given division plays every team in one out-of-conference division, meaning that every team in each division plays the same out-of-conference teams as the other teams in the division. (Which division is played is rotated, but in the eight years, every team will play every team in the other conference twice, once home and once away.
That's another 4 games a year, ten total.
Also as stated, every team in each division plays every team in another conference division. That's 4 more games in which each team in a given division plays the same teams as every other team in its division.
14 games so far, with every team in each division facing the same opponents as the other teams in the division.
How could that not be fair. What conspiracy can you possibly make of the 2008 schedule that was made in 2002?
The other two teams? Well, since each division plays all the teams in ONE of the other three conference divisions, that leaves two divisions.
Not wanting to leave them to random chance and to prevent people from saying favoritism (most people, not you or Enema Boy, evidently), the division winner of each divison plays the division winner of those two other conference divsions. And of course, the second place teams play each other, etc.
I didn't think there was a football fan alive that didn't know how the schedule was made by this time. I mean, it's been six years!
