Just spit balling here. Not sure how many teams the NFL would've absorbed. I chose 8 to join the 28 that existed at the time. I know 36 teams is a lot, but for shits and giggles...I think it would've been interesting. I relocated some USFL teams to avoid interfering with already established NFL franchises. Does anybody remember the original USFL (1983-85)? Keep in mind...this is what could've occurred in 1986, not 2024. I acknowledge 28 to 36 is a huge jump, but this is just for fun.
Eastern Conference
Atlantic--*Baltimore Stars, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
Central--Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, *Louisville Bandits, Pittsburgh Steelers, *Syracuse Generals
Southeast--Atlanta Falcons, *Birmingham Stallions, *Memphis Showboats, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Western Conference
Midwest--*Arizona Outlaws, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Houston Oilers, Kansas City Chiefs, *San Antonio Gamblers
North--Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, St Louis Cardinals
Pacific--LA Raiders, LA Rams, *Oakland Invaders, San Diego Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks
Had this happened compared to what did happen many questions abound...
Relocation: Do the...
Cardinals leave St Louis if Phoenix already has the Outlaws?
Browns leave Cleveland if Baltimore has the Stars?
Where do the Oilers go?
Do the Jaguars, Panthers, and Ravens ever exist?
Do Raiders ever return to Oakland as they did?
This is fun.
