I don't see why a team with a better record should have the lower seed. The 14-3 Vikings are seeded 5th which is lower than the 14-3 Eagles (ok fair enough, here) the 10-7 Buccaneers, and the 10-7 Rams. They also have a better record than every AFC playoff team other than the Chiefs.
So are they some outlier or are you saying the 10-7 Rams had a harder time winning 10 games in the NFC west than the Vikings did in the NFC North? I just think the better records should have better seeds...making it into the playoffs by winning your division should be enough, you shouldn't also be guaranteed a home playoff game and higher seed for that alone.
That's my 2 cents, and I feel like more people around here will agree if the Bengals win 13+ games next year and are seeded below a 9-8 Texans team, or something.
