About this listen
In this episode of Buffed Up Sports, I am diving into the heavy debate surrounding NFL playoff seeding. The Detroit Lions finished the season at 9-8, a winning record, yet we’re watching teams with losing records host home playoff games. It’s a tough pill to swallow, and it’s time to talk about changing the system.
I reflect on the frustration of the Lions missing the playoffs. I break down why the NFL needs to move away from seeding by division winners and move toward seeding by record. And I give my Wild Card Weekend predictions.
What do you think? Should the NFL reward the best records with home-field advantage, or is the division rivalry too important to change? Let me know your Wild Card picks in the comments!
