The NFL divisions can be confusing.
Take the Indianapolis Colts for example. They play in the AFC South, despite being an eight-hour drive to Toronto, Canada and a 13-hour drive to play the Jacksonville Jaguars.
So what better fun than imagining a division realignment in the NFL.
My approach was simple when putting this together. I reorganized the divisions based off of location, while shifting the AFC to align with eastern teams and NFC to align with western teams.
These divisions may ruin some old time rivalries, but that’s something the NFL scheduling can figure out. Plus, there’s some new and probably more intense rivalries that could come out of this.
With fans and players in mind, these divisions are optimized for travel and time zones (for television fans), and it should lead to a better overall product on the field.
