One team is going to be 14-3 and have to play their first game on the road. That's not fair Imo. Shades of 2010
when we had to travel and play the 7-9 Seahawks on the road.
I think, at least until the current 14 team format where only the one seeds get a bye, the Saints were the only team to win 13 games and not get a bye. Happened in both 2011 and 2019.
