This season is the end of the ten year schedule of rotational fixtures whereby each team play every other team at least once over that period.

Has anyone heard what the format will be for working out the fixtures schedule from next season onwards???

2011 Opponents

Home

Ravens, Browns, Steelers

Arizona, San Francisco (NFC West)

Indy, Houston (AFC South)

Away

Ravens, Browns, Steelers

St. Louis, Seattle (NFC West)

Tennessee, Jacksonville (AFC South)

One home and one away game to be determined

(1) game vs team of equivalent place in the AFC East and AFC West

(currently Buffalo and Denver)

There is nothing listed beyond next season. When they implemented the schedule in 2002 it was released through 2010. I am not sure why they haven't done the same thing now. Adding a new team would throw everything off of the perfect 32 and adding two more games would also disrupt this format. I like the current format because with the exception of two games, you will play the same teams as the rest of your division each season.

We just played the AFC West and NFC Central last year (2009) and the AFC East and NFC South this season. So in 2012 we should play the AFC West and the NFC East.

Is it too soon for me to glance at this and predict 2-14 for next year?

Just askin'.
