I know the logic behind how it's chosen for each of the 16 games played.

With the 17th game added...I know we play an opposing conference's division and the corresponding placement of where that team finished within the division (I know we face the Falcons because they also finished last in their division). I also know the AFC gets all home games and then they will switch next year and so on.

But how is it decided in regards to which division plays which opposing conference division? For example, why is our AFC South facing NFC South instead of NFC North or NFC East first? (I know we already play against NFC West for 4 of the games so didn't include them). And how will they choose the next year and so on? Literally just a rotating schedule between the remaining 3 divisions in the NFC meaning it's random on which they choose first, second, third? Meaning it can't interfere rolling into choosing the same out-of-conference division since that rotates too though (referring to the NFC West this year).

Does my question make sense? Thanks!
