Then you see how baseball did their scheduling and it was done by a married couple for almost 25 years. Henry and Holly Stehenson did the ENTIRE schedule for all the teams from 1981 to 2004. That's just amazing.

[@AchRock1509]

That was a great 30 fpr 30 short!

[@BoondockGore]

No wonder the ratings are crap in baseball

[@SlimeySqwid]

Thanks for letting us know? It could be so simple, but instead of a touch of (insert name or married couple) we’ve got algorithms and person quality checking (give me the touch of humanity)

I like the move towards the informational side of the sport flem. you the best one out there that talks about "drama" NFL stuff, but in terms of longevity and business moves you moving in a good direction. plus talking about all that bad stuff can't be good on the mental. much love bro.

[@mrtampa8]

Ngl, it's kinda funny having the Eagles vs Packers in Brazil For Context: The Neo Quimica Arena, the stadium they will be playing in, is home to Sao Paulo FC. Sao Paulo has a huge rivalry with Palmeiras, which wears green as their primary color. So I wonder if the Packers and Eagles would just not wear green. Like if the Eagles wear their black jerseys and Packers wear their standard away jerseys.

[@mars7304]

The Packers colors are quite literally the same as the Brazilian flag. I think the Packers are fine. Eagles might wanna wear the black unis.

[@hurricanestarang]

CORINTHIANSSSSS ⚓⚓⚓

[@janelliz]

​@@mars7304 I don't believe the Eagles will wear black this year. They are keep the Kelly green alternates, their white jerseys, and standard green jerseys. The may wear white in white but even then, that's something they have typically done for away games. And this is their home game.

[@anthonynoneyabusiness420]

I’m a packers fan & I feel like the heat will be hot asf in Brazil

[@hush4063]

Another thing those extra 3 games are based off of your standings in the division (4th place Bengals get 4th place Panthers, Titans, and Pats) which is where you get the "1st place schedule" talk and heavily impacts strength of schedule.

Killed it Flemlo

[@wiredtardis]

You missed a key detail in how the last three games in the opening example that you gave are determined. The 15th and 16th games are similarly ranked opponents within your conference (the team that ends the previous season as first, second, third, or fourth within their division faces two teams within the same conference that ranked similarly at the end of the previous season). The 17th game adds a similarly ranked team from a division of the other conference (division is on a rotation). The three games that are determined by last year's ranking within a division that can heavily change the outcome and gives another dimension of parity across the league.

[@youngdrudown]

He did a very good job for the casual fan, to have a better understanding of how the scheduling works. But yes that is an important note to add which is why the Strength of Schedule plays out how it does. If you win your division, the next year you’re gonna play division winners. Same as teams who are last in their division, which theoretically balances out the league. Also one more thing, is that the schedule is on a rotating cycle, it’s not random. You’ll play the out of division conference once every 4 years, and also with that, the 2 are home and 2 away, and those too alternate. It helps with fans being able to see their teams if they’re not local at minimum once every 8 years.

[@jacksonsmith5864]

I've recently done an entire schedule for a 40 team football league complelty solo, and as much as I love do nerdy stuff like that, if there was one thing I would want AI or some sort of program for, it's definitely that. Kinda crazy how the NFL has AI and multiple people working on the schedule, but then again I guess that have more to worry about than just the games themselves.

[@MrFlipCash]

They have the jets at prime time night games for first 3 months heavy on purpose. They said it.

[@bjnt92281]

When the league goes to 18 games (and they will) they should make it where each team has one permanent cross conference rival that they play every year and rotate between home and away every year. Some of these rivalries would be easy to pick. For example: Texans and Cowboys Chargers and Rams Jets and Giants And other would be harder. Packers and ? Bengals and ?

[@likejimi5845]

You're one if my favorite KZbinrs and i watch and like all your videos. Try something for me.... When youre saying the word "similar" try to say "sima" as in "sima down now" not "simmer down" but rather "sima down". Say "sima down" over and over, then say "sima lur." Sima down, sima lur, and say it repeatedly. After a while, you'll begin to say "sima lur" instead if "simu lur" for the word similar. Please dont take this the wrong way, you're my boy, and i always want the best for you and want only to help you improve yourself. Nothing but love for ya

[@mrovey84]

Or you can just start your own channel and say words to your liking. The beauty of KZbin is everyone isn’t supposed to be the most well spoken. Keep rockin Flemlo my only ask is what happened to ur the Wayne? It’s here one day gone the next?

[@wesleywildcat84]

The specific part FlemLo left out is how those last three games are decided for each team, because it’s not 100% random. After your division games, same conference division on a three year rotation, opposite conference division on a four year rotation… The last three games are decided by your team’s place within their division. When you hear “a first place schedule,” that’s when your team wins the division the previous year, and gets rewarded by playing the other two division winners in your conference, and one of the three division winners in the other conference. I’m not 100% sure, but I think home/road is on a rotation. I do know last place teams play last place teams, first plays first, and so on, but I think most NFL geeks know this.

They play everyone in their division twice and everyone in a different division every year at least once after that there are only like five games left to choose from. Sometimes you get real stinkers of games like a crappy cowgirl game vs anyone else is a crap game once a week.
