After applying the NFL’s official formula to determine who plays whom in the 2015 season, the winners are:

The NFC East and the AFC South.

Those are the two divisions whose teams must each play every team in the NFC South, a division without a winning team this year and a pathetic combined record of 22-41-1.

The losers, determined by flipping the same logic, would be the be the AFC West and NFC West, whose 2015 schedules are tied to the AFC North, which sent three teams to this year’s playoffs and finished regular season with a combine 38-25-1 mark.

The NFC West itself will once again be a tough division because it not only plays against the NFC North (38-25-1 this year) but plays twice against each of its divisional rivals (NFC West was 37-27 this season).

For those who do not have the NFL’s official schedule abacus, here are the basics elements:

Every team plays 16 games as follows:

–Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).

–The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).

–The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).

–Two intraconference games based on the prior year’s standings (two games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.

Beginning in 2010, a change was made to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation to ensure that teams playing the AFC and NFC West divisions would not be required to make two west coast trips (e.g. at San Francisco and at Seattle), while other teams in their division had none (e.g. at St. Louis and at Arizona).

The official 2015 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring.

NFL Kickoff 2015 Weekend will begin on Thursday night, Sept. 10, and the regular season will conclude on Sunday, Jan. 3.

Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will be played on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016.
