Well, ask NO vs. SEA in 2010...

...when the Saints had to go to SEA and Marshawn Lynch had that incredible run to punctuate the SEA win despite SEA being 7-9 and NO being 11-5 in a NFC Wildcard Game in 2010. Or even 12-4 MIA going to 8-8 CLE in 1985 and barely beating CLE, 24-21.

It is not easy to travel for the playoffs and play a team at home that is "supposed" to lose....especially if it is a NFC East team against a warm weather team like the Rams or ARI in January....
