The formula the NFL uses is as follows:Home and away against its three division opponents (Six games)The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (Four games)The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (Four games)Two intraconference games based on the prior years standings (these games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season) (Two games)One interconference game based on the prior year's standings on a rotating four-year cycle. These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season.
