I am not positive on this, but here goes.
The NFL schedule usually comes out in April. It has each division play its own division teams twice so we know we will play Atlanta, Carolina, and Tampa Bay twice next year.
Each team also plays one division from each Conference on a rotating basis. This year we play the NFC East and the AFC North. By looking at our past schedules, it looks like we are due to face the NFC West and the AFC South next year.
The remaining two games of a 17 week schedule is of two teams with similar records in a division we are not playing. For instance, if we finish 1st place in our division, we play two teams that finished first in the divisions we do not already play. I thought it was 1 team from each Conference, but it looks like Carolina played 2 NFC teams this year in the Rams and Vikings.
Obviously, this does not include which games are home and which are away, but I think it gives us a pretty good idea on what to expect next year.
