There are a few 10-6 teams that will be on the outside looking in this year, not the case last year.
Add another wild card and then you seven in each Conference.
How do you break down the playoffs???
3 byes won't be right for that fourth Conference Champ that plays in round one. That will be the snag....
Adding TWO teams to the playoff format would eliminate that Snag I mentioned earlier...
That brings us back to the question at hand...
Answer: Maybe not so much 8-8 teams making the playoffs, but it would water is down.
If you added 1 team per Conf. this year...
That team in Texas and KC would be in because the Skins would have clinched with Minny and Atl losing last week, KC would have backed in by virtue of the Charger lost last week.
Only way to work it would be to give Indy and the Hawks a bye in round 1. All this would have been determined by the end of week 16
