I'd rather give the other teams an extra bye than basically relinquish a very good possibility of grabbing the 1 or 2 seed.  Seeding in this AFC playoff in particular is going to be a major advantage with Bengals, Bills, and Chiefs being a clear upper crust of the conference. Getting the one seed means you avoid having to play both of the other two. The three seed will conceivably have to go on the road to both of the other two places in back to back weeks.  

I say do whatever we need to do to avoid that.
