Eight playoff teams and no bye is a better idea

Do season ticket holders get charged for a ticket to the new venue?

Do they now when the game is in London or Mexico City?

There are a lot of huge college stadiums. Ann Arbor, Baton Rouge, Columbus, University Park, College Station, and Tuscaloosa, to name a few.

The tricky part would be scheduling a game between non division teams and have it be a neutral site for both teams. Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans might play in Knoxville? Also would need to be set up to sell lots of tickets.

It still sounds like a scheduling and fairness problem.

What about scheduling games in a neutral city such as New England and the Chiefs playing in Miami? That would be attractive to go to during cold weather months. If the Bears played Cowboys in Kansas City during the fall, during Chiefs bye week, they might get Bears fans, Cowboys fans, and Chiefs fans buying tickets.

Do division winners still apply or not? I don't see any thing that says it's gone

It matters in terms of seeding

Home game owners keep profit from concessions and box seats sales. It's the nfl rewarding it's owners with profit, even if they lose the game. No reason to give that up

Oh, so, if you win division at 8-8 , you'd still have to travel to a 9-7 wild card team?
OK lol that's cool

I hate the one bye addition.

So , now, The SB could be on like, Feb 15, 16,17..

Na, they're removing a preseason game, so the regular season will start a week earlier.

But if they add a playoff game with an additional season game?
Plus the extra bye week,if?

There isn't an added playoff round. Just more teams in the first round.

No, the 8-8 divisional champ would host the 9-7 wc team. Divisional winners are locked into homefield for the the 1st rd of the playoffs.

I'm coming around to the 7th playoff team. Mainly because there have been 5 teams miss the playoffs with a 10-6 record the last 10 years. 10-6 is deserving. I don't like the 8-8 teams getting in, but those teams should rarely win anyway.
