American West: Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, LA Raiders, San Diego Chargers
National West: LA Rams, San Fancisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints
United West: Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Outlaws, St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Oilers

American Central: Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts
National Central: Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions
United Central: Memphis Showboats, Birmingham Stallions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers

American East: Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins
National East: Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington, New York Giants
United East: Orlando Renegades, Baltimore Stars, New Jersey Generals, Jacksonville Bulls

All 9 divison champions get in, plus 3 wildcards.

I like the set up, alignment and relocation aside. 2 preseason games with an 18 game schedule. Each divisions opponent twice plus 1 other division from each region.

Sample: Dallas Cowboys
Home: Eagles, Redskins, Giants, Bills, Patriots, Showboats, Stallions, Rams, 49ers
Away: Eagles, Redskins, Giants, Jets, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Panthers, Falcons, Saints
