| #2 Posted on 16.11.12 0831.15 | Instant Rating: 2.00 | Has the NFL come out and said that they are intentionally scheduling divisional games at the end of the season? Or is it just how the schedule worked out?
Cutler banged up and there's still a ton of divisional games in the North. Expecting Green Bay to move up if they can stay healthy. Detroit's schedule is pretty tough here on out, not expecting them to make it. No consistency there.
Seattle has three games at home and three on the road, so expecting them to go 3-3...
Tampa still has to play Atlanta twice, so that could be tough to move on up. | Mr. Boffo

| #3 Posted on 16.11.12 0924.12 | Instant Rating: 8.21 | | John Clayton wrote that they went into the 2011 season planning to do that. I heard that it had more to do with making sure divisional games got played in light of any potential lockout, but encouraging late season games with playoff implications was a nice benefit that has a clear reason to carryover into other years. | Big Bad

| #4 Posted on 16.11.12 1305.38 | Instant Rating: 5.69 | I like the idea of saving most divisional games until later in the season, though they could spread them out a *bit* more. Seems weird that the Ravens and Steelers will play twice in three weeks this season.

It's not THAT weird. Part of the reason the Giants made their playoff run was because they ended the year with both of their games against the Cowboys coming in the last four weeks of the season.
