Updates regarding the 17 Game Schedule in 2021 from Peter King
From his column today:

Link: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ia-peter-king/

Quote:
- The 17-game schedule is highly likely in 2021. No surprise there. TV partners and NFL schedulers are working under the assumption that the 17-game schedule (the way was paved for it last March when players approved a new CBA) will debut in 2021.

- The league calendar gets pushed back one week, with a likely Feb. 13 Super Bowl in Los Angeles. No extra bye—17 games in 18 weekends. Super Bowl LVI, originally scheduled for Feb. 6, 2022 and airing on NBC, has not been officially moved yet. The league hasn’t said a word about moving the game to officials in Los Angeles. But the NFL won’t start the season on the ratings-quashing Labor Day Weekend, and the league doesn’t want to add an extra regular-season bye week. So that adds up to Feb. 13, which would be the latest Super Bowl in history.

- The best game of 2021, Aaron Rodgers versus Patrick Mahomes, is on track. Really, only one game in 2021 would rival Green Bay-Kansas City. That’s Tampa Bay at New England, with Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro. Pittsburgh at Green Bay is interesting too, with the very likely last meeting of Ben Roethlisberger and Rodgers. Brady in Foxboro is great theater, of course. But Rodgers-Mahomes is a much better game, with two passers at the peak of their powers.

- A note about how the league configured the extra game: When the NFL was choosing options, the formula that prevailed—follow me now—was AFC versus NFC, cross-conference matchup from two years ago, 2021 matchup based on 2020 standings. Now that you’re totally confused, here’s an example: The four AFC West teams played the four NFC North teams in 2019. In 2020, Kansas City finished in first place in the AFC West, Green Bay first in the NFC North. So in 2021, it’s AFC West against NFC North, and 1-versus-1 from ‘20 becomes Green Bay versus Kansas City. I will bet you a Kroll’s West cheeseburger with an ice-cold Spotted Cow that the networks will brawl over this ratings-gold game. This game alone is reason enough for the league to rush the 17th game onto the 2021 schedule.

- Hearing it’s most likely to be AFC hosting all 16 newly invented games in 2021. Then NFC teams hosting in 2022. If that’s how it goes, it’s the fairest way. Competitive equity is the key. You don’t want three NFC East teams playing eight at home and the fourth playing nine at home.

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.

Roster sizes to jump to 85 players like the NCAA?

I think they'll increase, it's an easy way to get the union on board, more jobs. It's why the union loves expansion.

I’ll take a healthy team in December and January over winning home field advantage anyday. See Tampa Bay.
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.

They will almost certainly have to increase. I guess they did this year right?

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".

So I assume you don’t like watching football.

Now, the NFL is going to have 17 regular season games, in addition to three rounds of playoff games featuring 14 of 32 teams, in order to determine a champion? That's insane. The old system of 12 teams was just fine.

Plus, the good teams stand to lose more than the bad teams in a 17 game season with 7 playoff teams per conference.

It's much easier for a great team to stumble than it is for a middling team to win an "upset" but when you're designing the season AND the playoffs for upsets, why even bother watching until the playoffs?
NBA and NHL seasons are too long now. Adding time to the NFL seems just dumb.

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.
