The NFL wants a 17 game schedule, not a 17 week schedule that they have already. The problem is that the players don’t want it and there are logistical concerns over where to play unbalanced games. It’s likely the NFL will have teams alternate between eight and nine home game seasons every other year. That is not ideal, but I have a solution. Are you listening NFL? You should be.
The NFL want’s to expand their brand and many believe that we will continue to see games being played in other countries in fact we will likely see an increase in those games.
