Well this is the true down time pre FA so I got to thinking most of us here now will no see super bowl 100 in 2066 I personally will be 87 if I make it. So I thought it would be fun to predict where the NFL will be then so here we go.
In the next 42 years they will expand by 16 teams creating a 48 team league with 3 conferences and 12 4 team divisions
There will be the AFC the NFC and the GFC.
here are your teams
AFC East = Buffalo, New England, New Jersey and Baltimore
AFC North = Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus
AFC South = Tennessee, Indiana, St. Louis, Kansas city
AFC West = Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City
NFC East = Carolina, Atlanta, Miami, Birmingham
NFC North = Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota
NFC Texas = Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Austin
NFC West = San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, Arizona
GFC Island = Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, Honolulu
GFC Europe = London, Dublin , Rome, Berlin
GFC Canada= Ottawa, Vancouver, Portland,
Anchorage
GFC America = New York City, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Memphis
Some teams moved.
Jacksonville moved to St. Louis
New Orleans to Salt Lake City
Washington to Columbus
Tampa Bay to Birmingham
Carolina to Myrtle Beach but stayed Carolina
The NFL decided on one team per city so the LA and NY teams played a series of 3 off season games winner gets to pick to stay or go.
The Chargers won the LA series so the Rams Moved to Sacramento
The Giants won so they moved to NYC proper and the Jets became New Jersey
All the expansion was international. The attempt in Mexico and South America failed epically with a team in Mexico Argentina and the 2 in Brazil relocating to Austin, San Antonio, Memphis and Oklahoma City.
The Mexico City team moved to Portland.
Paris was an expansion team but moved to Rome
Toronto got a team but it was too crowded near Buffalo so they moved to Ottawa.
Montreal moved to Anchorage.
An attempt in New Zealand failed they moved to Honolulu.
Major Rule changes
Late in the game with the time allowed based on deficit you can attempt a 4th and 20 from your 30 to keep the ball after scoring
Double pass from behind the LOS allowed.
OT takes a college style except you start at the 5
The draft has dropped to 6 rounds but there are more picks total and more comp picks.
There is a weighted draft lottery for non playoff teams
The play offs are 20 teams with the division winners and 8 wildcard teams the wild card teams play into the round of 16. The division winners are NOT locked into a home game just a playoff spot
The season is 26 games. With 5 rounds in the playoffs. And 3 bye weeks per team making it a 34 week season.
The standings were
AFE= NE 21-5, Buf 17-9, Bal 17-9, NJ 7-19.
AFN= Col 18-8, Cle 16-10, Cin 13-13, Pitt 8-18
AFS= Stl 16-10, Ten 16-10, KC 12-14, Ind 9-17
AFW= SLC 13-13, Den 13-13, LV 11-15 LA 5-21
NFE= BHM 15-11, Car 13-13, Atl 11-15 MIA 8-18
NFN= Det 19-7, Min 13-13, GB 10 -16 CHI 6-20
NFT= Aus 16-10, Dal 12-14, Hou 11-15, SA 11-15
NFW= AZ 15-11, Sea 15-11, Sac 13-13, SF 4-22
GFI= SYD 20-8, Hon 14-12, Tok 9-17, HK 5-21
GFE= Rome 17-9, LDN 16-10, Dub 8-18, Ber 6-20
