Should the NFL change its playoff format?

To where the team with the better record gets the home playoff game instead of who win the division?

I think if you want to be fair you should award the team with the better record a home game

in 2008 the Colts were 12-4 and had to go to San diego to play the 8-8 Chargers

in 2010 the Saints were 11-5 I believe and had to go to the 7-9 seahawks

This year the 11-5 seahawks will go to either Dallas or Washington who's record will be worse than 11-5

Idk, that just doesn't seem fair to me. You should award winning.

For example in the NBA, if you win your division you'll be 'seeded" higher, but if you play a team with a better record that didn't win their division, the team with the better record gets home court advantage.

    I think this makes way more sense than what it is now. It is also happening this year with the 11-5 Colts traveling to Baltimore to play the 10-6 Ravens.

    No. If a team doesn't like playing on the road, maybe it should have won its own division.

    I don't think they should change the playoff format, even though it has some flaws.
