FAQs
With the NFL featuring 32 teams, there are a total of 16 teams in both the AFC and the NFC, respectively.
The 32 NFL franchises are split evenly into two different conferences, which are the AFC and the NFC. The AFC stands for the American Football Conference, whereas the NFC stands for the National Football Conference.
Every year, each team will play once against all the teams in a division of the other conference based on a 4-year rotation policy to take into account the 4 divisions of the other conference. Each team will play two home and two away games.
In total, seven teams from the AFC and seven from the NFC will make the playoffs every year. The first four teams are all the division winners, and the remaining three teams are those with the best records in the conference after the division winners.
The NFL, or the National Football League, is the entire league of American football which comprises 32 franchises. The NFC, on the other hand, is the National Football Conference which is made up of only 16 teams, while the other 16 are part of the AFC or the American Football Conference.
While the tide keeps on changing after every few years, going by the current trend, it is the AFC that is the tougher conference to play in. Many teams in the AFC are stacked as far as talent is concerned, and the fight for the playoffs is neck to neck.
