Best Answer

The National Football League has a proven formula for its regular-season schedules. Let's use the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks as an example. In 2014, the Seahawks will play their three NFC West rivals twice -- at home and away. That means Seattle will host games against the San Francisco 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. And they will play road games against the three teams.

In 2014, the teams of the NFC West will play the teams of the AFC West, so Seattle will host home games against the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders and play on the road against the San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs. According to the rotating schedule the Seahawks will play the AFC North teams in 2015, the AFC East teams in 2016 and the AFC South teams in 2017.

In 2014, NFC West teams will play the NFC East teams, so Seattle will host games against the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants and play on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins. In 2015, the Seahawks will play the NFC North teams and in 2016, they will meet the NFC South teams.

The rest of the Seahawks' 2014 schedule will be against NFC teams that finished first in their respective divisions in 2013, just as Seattle did. During the regular season, they will play a home game against the Green Bay Packers and meet the Carolina Panthers on the road.

How can an NFL team play 16 games in season if there is only 15 other teams in their conference?

In any given season an nfl team plays every team in its division twice. Then the schedule of who else they play, within their conference, is on a cycle.
