Teams should be seeded 1 through 6 on the same critera. I have no huge problem with giving an 8-8 division winner a playoff spot..but make them the 6th seed...and don't award them with home games.

bad enough they get in, but indy had to travel to them?! preposterous. no way, just because you win your division, that they should have gotten home field advantage.

also-no reason the giants, who presumably are #1 seed, should fave the eagles. of course, carolina losing last night doesn't indicate that the cardinals would have been a cakewalk....but there was no benefit for being the first seed in the nfc this year.

Exactly, seeding really means nothing. You have to play the games and beat the teams to advance. Any team can beat anyone no matter seedings or whether they play home or away.

The Giants would have to play someone "good" eventually and need to win to advance, their just doing it this week instead of next or maybe not if AZ plays next week like they played last night.

Oh, the Giants didn't need the #1 seed to win the Super Bowl last year. It just doesn't matter, if you are good enough you should win, if not you go home.
