Enquanto o calendário da temporada 2016 não sai, vale ressaltar que no final das contas só falta saber a ordem: os adversários de seu time na temporada 2016 já estão definidos. Como? Bom, a NFL tem uma fórmula de calendário que é empregada em função da campanha de um dado time na temporada regular e através de rodízio entre as divisões.
Digamos no caso dos Patriots; A equipe pertence à Divisão Leste da Conferência Americana e ficou em primeiro lugar no ano passado nesta divisão (a AFC East). Com efeito, pela fórmula, New England joga contra os três outros times da divisão em casa e fora de casa (já que diretamente é o que importa para as vagas de campeão de divisão, disputa entre os que concorrem a esta). Com isso, temos três jogos em casa e três fora de casa.
Além deles, os Patriots enfrentam os outros campeões de divisão da Conferência Americana – ou seja, Houston, Denver e Cincinnati. Para fechar, existe um rodízio: neste ano, o rodízio interconferência é com a NFC West – então New England pega 49ers, Seahawks, Cardinals e Rams. E, claro, o rodízio intraconferência – neste ano a AFC East inteira joga contra a AFC North inteira, então além do campeão da divisão, os Patriots enfrentam Browns, Steelers e Ravens. Com isso, temos 16 jogos. Abaixo como está estipulado o rodízio:
Intraconferência/Interconferência 2016
AFC East > AFC North > NFC West
AFC North > AFC East > NFC East
AFC South > AFC West> NFC North
AFC West > AFC South > NFC South
———————————————————
NFC East > NFC North > AFC North
NFC North > NFC East > AFC South
NFC South > NFC West > AFC West
NFC West > NFC South > AFC East
