Scheduling

While printing football schedules, had a pressman state things changed in how they are determined and wanted to bet me money on it. The long time season ticket holder was mislead into thinking that every time the Eagles play the Vikings that they play the Bears, Packers and Lions as well.

One season in every three, that happens. In the other two seasons including this one, the first, second, third, and fourth place teams in those divisions play each other and since the Eagles and Vikings finished first in 2017, they play in 2018.

I even showed him this chart which shows what teams the Eagles play and why. He still did not understand.

The blue teams are division opponents they play twice, the yellow teams are the ones from the divisions they play every three or four years and the orange ones are the conference teams from the other two divisions with the same place.

He refused to pay me.
