2007 opponents determined
The opponents for all 2007 regular-season games have been determined and a complete list of each team’s home and away matchups was issued today by the NFL.
San Diego Chargers 2007 OpponentsHome: Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions
Away: Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings
The scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis.
Under the formula, every team within a division plays 16 games as follows:
· Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).
· The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).
· The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).
· Two intraconference games based on the prior year’s standings (2 games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
The official 2007 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring.
NFL Kickoff 2007 Weekend will begin on Thursday night, September 6, and the regular season will conclude on December 30.
Wild Card Weekend will be Saturday and Sunday, January 5-6; Divisional Playoff games on the weekend of January 12-13; and the AFC and NFC Championship Games on Sunday, January 20.
Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona will be played on Sunday, February 3.
