Portyansky Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The possibility of having the top seed decide between home-field advantage or a first round bye (with the second seed taking whichever option the top seed doesn’t choose)????? https://www.totalprosports.com/nfl/nfl-playoffs-extra-team-bills-bengals-cancelled/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I mean you can't do that. There's no easy answer but you can't penalise other teams after a long hard year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameshowfan91 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 What about doing extra Wild Card and have top 2 seeds get a first round bye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the extra Wild Card, in each conference there are 8 teams in the playoffs. In your scenario the first round 6 teams play, resulting in 3 winners + 2 bye teams go in the second round. You start running into grid problems with 5 teams left alive. Top teams get two byes in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
