Let me say I am no expert and don't claim to be but, to me and my thinking after watching years of football seasons and teams in the playoffs it seems easier to advance in the playoffs than it is to actually get to the playoffs. Just getting to the playoffs is surviving the entire season of now 17 games and winning enough of those games to qualify. Once you are in, yes you will be playing the best but you don't have to endure 17 games again. Sure it is still a mountain to climb but you are almost to the top. Sure wild card teams have it tougher than a #1 seed with the extra game but still have that shot without enduring the entire 17 game season.
