The NFL is talking about making the league have 18 games instead of 16. This is based mostly off the fact that people love football. This so that each team can get more revenue per game and more per year. The commissioner likes the idea of two extra weeks. This means that it is likely to happen in the next few years. There is a possibility that a strike will happen in the next few years from the players also. Maybe the NFL making changes before that happens will keep that from happening if they give the players what they want before they strike and then teams won't have to lose money and the game of football won't have to stop for a year or two. If they make this change though for more weeks, will that start more giving up at the end of the season? The Colts did something that I thought was foolish last year, they gave up after being 14-0. Now with more weeks left will they give up earlier? The Commissioner has thought about this and has been making adjustments to the schedules that would put 4 out of the last 6 games to be inside the division. In the NFC North they may not help though. If the Vikings are in the lead and they are 15-0 with 3 games left and they play the Lions, Bears, and seahawks, they will still not try, because the Bears and Lions will probably not be contending for the division. I think that if they do decide they are going to add more weeks they should wait. They should see if there is a strike and maybe make that adjustment after the possible strike.
