We are having an argument about how NFL scheduling is done.  We know that
each team plays every other team in its own division twice (home & away).
And that (perhaps) the last place team in the 5 team divisions do not
count, but rather make up their own 'division' for scheduling purposes.
That only accounts for 6 of the 16 games.  How are the other 10 determined?

This actually comes from a separate question: Why didn't Miami play
Cleveland during the regular season?

(I know this recently came up on the net, but I wasn't paying attention,
and the files have already expired on my machine.)
