New NFL Setup Update

Here is what the new set up should be to make the NFL Playoff seeding fairer.

Here are the updated standings: actual and new. If the playoffs began today, the AFC playoffs would look like this:
Byes: 1) Den 12-3; 2) NE 11-4.
Home playoff games: 3) Cin 10-5; 4) Ind 10-5.
Road playoff games: 5) KC 11-4; 6) Mia 8-7.

AFC playoffs in the new format:
Byes: 1) Den 12-3; 2) NE 11-4.
Home playoff games: 3) KC 11-4; 4) Cin 10-5.
Road playoff games: 5) Ind 10-5 ; 6) Mia 8-7.

The new format just makes things fairer. Kansas City, Cincy, and Indy would all be battling for the two wild card round home games. Plus, Cincy would have a chance at the division championship if they win and New England loses.


If the playoffs began today, the NFC playoffs would look like this:
Byes: 1) Sea 12-3; 2) Car 11-4.
Home playoff games: 3) Phi 9-6; 4) Chi 8-7.
Road playoff games: 5) SF 11-4; 6) NO 10-5.

NFC playoffs in the new format:
Byes: 1) Sea 12-3; 2) Car 11-4.
Home playoff games: 3) SF 11-4; 4) NO 10-5.
Road playoff games: 5) Ari 10-5; 6) Phi 9-6.

In the NFC, we would have both divisions up for grabs. And instead of one of the mediocre teams from the NFC Central getting into the playoffs and hosting a playoff game, San Fran, New Orleans, and Arizona would all be in the playoffs and battling for the two home games in the Wild Card round because they have better records than the Eagles and the Bears.
