Until somewhat recently, the NFL had 31 teams total (5 divisions of 5 and one of 6). Currently, the baseball league has 30 teams, but instead of 6 divisions of 5, they have 4 divisions of 5, one of 4, and one of 6.It works out for them in the end, the NFL teams all played 16 games, and the baseball teams all end the season with 162. I have yet to hear any real discussion between baseball/NFL fans on whether they think it's "fair" or not though - but I get the impression that they don't think it really matters.</blockquote>
