-6 games against your division
-4 games against an NFC division (rotates every year, so you play each division every 4 years)
-4 games against an AFC division (rotates every year)
-2 games against the other teams that finished the same spot in their division standings that you did.

And in an NFL that sees several teams got to the playoffs every year that were not in the playoffs the year before, those last two games can be anywhere from easy or hard any given year it seems. No matter what that spot it is locking you into those teams.
