Scripts/canonicalize_teams.py

Scripts/canonicalize_stadiums.py

Used same division ID format as other sports: nfl_afc, nfl_afc_east, etc.

Included historical relocation aliases (OAK→LV, SD→LAC, STL→LAR) for backward compatibility

Only added stadium aliases for venues with actual name changes (skipped Soldier Field, Lambeau, etc.)

NFL follows same canonicalization patterns as MLB, NBA, NHL

Team abbreviation aliases handle both historical relocations and data source variations
