Lol Saints 13-3 and have to play wildcard weekend

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Division winners getting home field advantage in wildcard week just coz. ..probably the leagues most *ed rule honestly. Like division winners don't get enough advantages already.

There will obviously be outliers but the system is fine.

Obviously. No other times has something similar happened in the last 10 years.

Ok - list all the times a division winner with a worse record has played a wildcard with a better record the last 10 years.

3 off he top of my head without even looking. Panthers and Seahawks both won their division with a losing record for home playoff game victories. And phili this year of course. Will have a look later for any others.

So winning a shitty division title against three other teams means you deserve home field advantage over other teams in your conference with a better record.... That's your stance. Cool.

 

[aussiedude]

all 4 games should be close. Unless the Vikes are still banged up, but if Cook, Theilen, Kendricks and co are healthy they could make it close.
Otherwise it could be a blowout.

 

[aussiedude]

What a day for Miami. Knock the Pats out of the 2 seed and still finish with a top 5 pick.
