I can see why people would want to stay at 16 games rather than go to 18, but I wonder if we see people arguing that we should go back to 14 games. Anything bad about going to 18 should be made better by going back to 14, shouldn't it?
Hell if I know. I think it mostly comes down to people getting used to what they are used to and saying "changes up 'til this point where I started watching were good and any change after is bad."
also right now with a 32 team league... 16 games makes sense....
Right now you play your Division 2x 6 Games
AFC D 4 Games
NFC D 4 Games
2 Teams that finished in the same spot of their division as you in the other 2 Divisions you don't face that year.
Who would the 17 game be?
or the 18th game be?
do you drop the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th place schedule and play 2 full divisions in your conference?
Only thing I can think of for 18 games is you play every other team in your conference 1x and your Division 2x
Which means AFC and NFC would only ever clash in the superbowl
