What does the NFC and AFC Stand for in the NFL?
During the merger of the two football leagues, the AFC and NFC were created, with 16 teams in each conference. Which teams are the most valuable?
The National Football League is divided into the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has 16 teams divided into four divisions of four teams- north, south, east, and west- during the regular season.
The top six teams from both conferences (division leaders and two wild card teams) play each other, and the last undefeated team in each conference plays in the Super Bowl.
Since the NFL merged the two conferences in 1970, AFC teams have won 20 Super Bowls while NFC won 24.
