    I’m torn on this. As a lions fan, I get it. But I do like that divisions matter. It gives an added level of incentive to do everything possible to win your division.

    I feel very strongly that the division winner should get a home game. Otherwise, why have divisions at all? If they want to reseed after the first week, I’d be all for that.

      I think the idea would be, winning your Division still locks you into a playoff spot. Home games and seeding just have no bearing on your division.

      I don’t like that a team can have the second best record in the entire NFL, but if the best record is in their division they get a road game against a mediocre division winner as a reward (you can easily imagine a 13-4 division runner up getting a road game against an 8-9 division winner.
