NFL Style Division Realignment

Created by: Boggsauce
Team: 2020-21 Custom Team
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 26, 2021
Published: Mar. 26, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Based on a THG video, trying to get more rivalry games. 8 divisions of 4, they used to have 6 divisions of 5 so not that different.

You’d play:
the other conference 2 times each (32 games)
Rest of your conference 3 times each (36 games)
And your own division 4 or 5 times each (14 games)

Division winners get top 4 playoff seeds, 4 wildcards seeded after that based on 1-8 conference standings.

Division names not the important, just for fun

Let me know what you think!

Not bad at all. Some of the divisions might have to be tweaked (there's a 3 hour difference between Nashville and Arizona while daylight savings time is in effect), but the format works.

Also, you said the names don't matter, but... Wow, there's gonna be some upset people if you're naming them after former players from one of the teams. There's so much history in that Orr division. Just to annoy all of them, I propose it be named the Yashin division.

Motion seconded on the Yashin division (seriously)

Let's also have a Zherdev division tho

The only thing id want tweaked is the scheduling. I want more division games. Maybe cut the conference games to 2 instead of 3. I want playing your divisional opponents to matter more in winning your division. You site the NFL as a model. An NFL team plays 6 divisional games a season on a 16 game schedule where this nhl model plays 14 divisional games out of 82.

Hmm okay. That would mean 26 games against three teams. You’d be seeing them 8 or 9 times, so the same amount as this year but spread over the 82 game schedule. Could work!

Thanks for the info! Indeed, there have been a lot of interesting matches lately. I'm a big fan of these games. I am especially amused by the fights that happen due to the aggression of the players. Perhaps such an interest in these games I have 'cause I am plunger. I like to periodically place bets and this makes watching the matches even more interesting. Every time I look forward to new fights and income from bets. The only problem I encountered with is a dime a dozen of bookmaker companies. It was difficult to choose something good out of so many. And then one day, I came across https://www.americanodds.com/tools/parlay-calculator and made my first bet. Now I am looking forward to a new match and immediately place my bet. I combine useful and pleasant.
