No. regular season standings affect only 2 games. The way it is right now it gives every team a chance to play every team in the conference every 3 years, and the other conference teams every 4 years.
The 2 remaining games in question are based off regular season standings of the previous season. The so called 1st place schedule. And it's 2 away, 2 home in between the rotation.
Rotation = playing all 4 teams of an AFC division.
So it comes off looking like 3 in a row. If the Patriots and Chiefs finish in the same place in their respective divisions in 2020 and 2021, the chiefs will host the Patriots for 2021 and 2022. Chiefs are guaranteed to host the Patriots in 2020 as part of the rotation.
