As for the NFL, 18 games with 2 bye weeks would seem doable. Teams that make playoff runs play 17-19 games and they don't always fall apart because of it.  Then agsin an 18 game season could mean 21 games to win it all and that seems pretty extreme

I think that is a decent model to go by.  Another proposal had the idea of an 18 game regular season, but players could only play in 16.  I don't like the idea of a team having to bench it's best players, when the same effect can be achieved with adding a second bye week.
