Forgot about that 17th game again

The 16 game schedule has always worked like this:
4 - AFC conference division
6 - home/away division games
4 - NFC conference division
2 - remaining NFC division teams that placed same position as Saints in prior season

So how was the 17th game against Tennessee picked and why on the road?

It goes against your preselected AFC Division (we play all four AFC East teams, and this year we just play one AFC South team that finished in the same place as us) and in this year, all AFC teams will get the home game.

Next year, the Saints will play all AFC North teams, and will play against one AFC West team, and that AFC West will be chosen based on how they finish, so if we finish first in our division, we will play the first place team in the AFC West, and we will play them at home.

One interconference game based on the prior year's standings on a rotating four-year cycle (one game). These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year. The home conference for this game will rotate each season.
