All matchup times are listed in Eastern Standard Time Zone (ET) on this matchup page. The games are not necessarily listed in order of time, since some matchups are shifted around for television viewing purposes. Every NFL matchup has a designated Home and Away team, and both are given a rotation number. Our NFL Matchups page lists all the Games in order of Rotation, which are numbers generated and produced by sportsbooks. The NFL Playoffs always has 13 games on tap, which includes the Super Bowl, and that always plays on the first Sunday in February. There are 272 total games played and they are divided into a 18-week period. The regular season usually begins in the first or second week of September and lasts until the end of December or early January. The NFL Games played in the preseason are 49 exhibition matchups spread out over five weeks and are conducted in August. Check out some of the best NFL betting sites once you've finished poring over the trends. The NFL Matchups are divided into three different segments for bettors that take place over a six-month period. We have a team keeping a keen eye on NFL betting trends, and have done the work to put all the vital information here. Handicapping and betting the NFL preseason, regular season and playoff games is far from easy, but the NFL Matchups certainly helps you with your homework.
