*********************************************

Each team has 6 home and 6 away games. The schedule in general has each team playing within its own division weeks 1-3, playing in another division within its conference during weeks 4-7, playing against a division in the opposite conference during weeks 8-9, and playing again in the division during weeks 10-12.

The playoffs are the same as the NFL playoffs. Each conference will have four division winners (seeds 1-4) and two wildcards (5 and 6). The top two division winners get a bye the first week of the playoffs. The Super Bowl will be held Week 16. There are no bye weeks for any teams.

This is a preliminary schedule and may change prior to the beginning of the season.
