With the expansion of the NFL Playoffs, the owners got an additional team in the post-season (thanks Jerry Jones) and teams loss one Bye Week for each conference. Now, only one team gets a Bye Week and the #1 Seed in each conference gets to play one fewer playoff game than teams playing the first week of the post season. Why does that matter?
The Saints could benefit from being seeded in the top spot. The week of rest plus, unless the NFL needs to add weeks to the end of the season, it would be the first week off since early in the campaign.
Second, playing one fewer game is a major advantage. After eight games, my attention turns to the playoffs. Ten wins gets you in the playoffs most years. And an 8-game win streak puts New Orleans in the NFC Penthouse.
Never mind home-field advantage will be minimized with few fans in the stadium. The Bye Week is the goal for every division leader in the NFL. Bottom line, the Saints have work to do.
GO Saints!!
