Each division plays itself twice, two other divisions once each, and 2 other single teams from the other divisions in the conference.
For example, say you are in the NFC East;
You play each of the other 3 teams in the NFC East twice. Once at your field, once at theirs.
This year the NFC East also played the NFC South and the AFC South - so you would play each of those 4 teams once.
Our example NFC East team also played one team each from the NFC North and the NFC West, bringing the total to 16 games.
You get one "bye" week during the season, thus the 16 games take 17 weeks to play.
To check out any specific team, start here:

While the regular season is cut and dried, this tourney should get really interesting near the end if we have to start figuring Conquer Club tiebreakers based on things like strength of schedule. Hah!
