I fully expect in 20 years we'll talk about how the NFL has a 22 week regular season, expanded playoffs and his the season starts in August and ends in March.

Yup, we could end up with teams resting start players a bit more often to lower their risk. I doubt it will happen with one game, but the next logical step will be adding 2 or 3 more games, either play all equal seeds in the other conference or play another full division in your own conference.

And yes teams will have to think about managing playing time amongst certain players. Which would lead to lower quality games. But the NFL doesn’t care about that.

With legalized sports betting coming to all US states by 2025, the NFL won't give a shit about its onfield product and will relish in an NCAA-style tournament to end their season because their revenue stream will increase exponentially.
So much for "The good of the game". |

Yes. The plan, at least according to King, is to alternate 17th week hosting by conference. So AFC in 2021, NFC in 2022 and so on. Whether that sticks or they actually eliminate inter divisional games during the final week, I guess we’ll see.

Eventually the bye will go away too once they expand the playoffs to 16 teams.
