La chiusura della stagione regolare porta gli avversari per la prossima stagione.
Come si determinano le squadre da affrontare? Ecco i fattori che sono presi in considerazione per arrivare a determinare le partite di ogni squadra:
- 6 partite contro le altre tre della propria division andata e ritorno
- 4 partite contro tutte le altre di una division della propria conference (cambiano ogni anno a rotazione – stesso colore nell’immagine)
- 4 partite contro tutte le altre di una division dell’altra conference (iniziale indicata nell’immagine)
- 2 partite contro le due squadre arrivate nella stessa posizione in stagione regolare nelle rimanenti due division della propria conference
Il kickoff della stagione 2018 sarà il 6 settembre con il primo Thursday Night e la stagione terminerà il 30 dicembre. Il Super Bowl LIII si disputerà al Mercedes-Benz Stadium di Atlanta il 3 febbraio 2019.
Il calendario vero e proprio è di solito comunicato ad aprile.

Avrei una domanda: con quale criterio viene stabilito chi gioca in casa e chi in trasferta nelle partite contro avversarie appartenenti alle altre division? Ad esempio perchè San Francisco gioca in casa contro i Giants ed in trasferta contro i Buccaneers?
Redazione
Bella domanda, nel senso che non esiste una spiegazione univoca, ma viene specificato che si cerca di alternare casa – trasferta tra le due squadre tenendo presente il bilanciamento di 8 in casa e 8 in trasferta.
Quindi se possibile si cerca di mandare squadra X in trasferta contro Y se la partita precedente Y era andata da X, ma questa regola può essere “forzata” se comunque una delle due deve obbligatoriamente giocare in casa o in trasferta.
Spero di essere stato chiaro, anche se non è facile 🙂

Sei stato chiarissimo, grazie

Non ricorderò mai tutte i criteri ma finalmente ho capito come funziona
