If / when it happens — the formula for the 17th game. If it’s this season, the Bills would play WFT.

Either keep it 16 games or make it 18. Having an odd number of games is just stupid and unfair considering half the league will have one more or one less home games per season. That could be a big deal come playoff time.

it’s not unfair after the second season of this as long as they get a home game every other season.

Who are the Bills playing in 17th game of 2021 NFL season?

The league and the NFL Players Association came up with a formula last year to determine opponents after the players approved the change in the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement. In the 17th game teams will play a cross-conference opponent from the division they played two seasons prior. The matchups will be determined by the previous season’s final standings.
 

The Bills played the NFC East in 2019 and finished first in the AFC East in 2020. That means they’ll face the NFC East-winning Washington Football Team in the 17th game. AFC teams will host the extra game in 2021 and the NFC will host the games in 2022, and the conferences will flip flop every season after that.

 

edit.  Yes it’s Washington.  I posted the thread title that was in question form

Do you have the TV maps for the game? What about the uniform colors?

It rotates based on conference.  The AFC all gets homes games this year, followed by the NFC.  Thus, since you're only competing against your own conference for a playoff spot (ask crayonz for why the Bills should lose games to NFC teams), it levels the field.
