In NFL matches the two teams playing take on the roles of offensive team and defensive team depending on who has the ball. Each game of NFL has 4 quarters of 15 minutes each. NFL matches are held on grounds with specific measurements – the field should be 100 yards in length and 53 yards in width. The field is detailed with little white markings so that players, officials and fans can track the progress of the ball easily. There is also the end zone which happens to be the most important portion of the field especially for the players. The end zone is marked 10 yards after the length of 100 yards field, on either ends of the field. The end zone is important because this is where points can be scored. To score a point the team playing the offensive has to get the ball into its opponent’s end zone area, the higher the number of points they are able to accumulate the better the chances of their winning.
The NFL games are played for duration of one hour that is divided into 15 minute quarters. Two 15-minute quarters constitute a half time and is followed by a break of 12 minutes. Apart from this 2-minutes breaks are allowed when the 1st and the 3rd quarter ends. As far as predicting who is going to win a football game, well, that's similar to a poker game, it's anyone's games once the teams hear the whistle..
