First off with scenario B a fan gets 3 more weeks of enjoyment instead of one. Secondly we shake the "big-game" bug by going into Mile-High on prime time and securing a bye. Final week we beat a hated division foe while NE tanks and we ride the momentum of being the best team in the AFC into the playoffs.
Of course both scenarios have us not winning the Superbowl and many people channel their inner Ricky Bobby's dad and consider this losing. I suppose those that picked scenario B consider being the best team in the regular season more successful that winning a wildcard playoff game against the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick.
