I mean....For the longest time, it was almost automatic that the team with the first seed went all the way. Seems the past 15-20 years, I have seen a lot of Wildcard teams go all the way. A few years ago, the Pats were SUPPOSED to be 19 and 0 and then comes the Giants. 1998. ..The Vikes were a MACHINE on offense, had HFA and then the Falcons come to town. Not long ago, people were slamming the Playoff system as a whole because a 7 and 9 Seahawks team gets in.......and then goes on to beat the Saints. In other words.....First seed or last, we better be ready.
