New breakdown for Games:

6 vs. your Division

4 vs. your Conference

1 vs. other Conference

3 "Wild-card" for Rivalries etc.

Basically, they've taken away 7 games from "Other Conference" opponents.

4 of those go to the extra game vs. your Division opponents.

3 of those become the "Wild Card" games.

Example of wild card game might be DET/TOR.

They used to be regular opponents, but now only face each other once per season.

So, use a wild card game to get a sellout.

Plus, more Division games (less other conference games) reduces travel costs.

And guess who benefits from lower costs?

But we (fans) benefit from extra games vs. Divisional opponent.
