First round would be:

7@2
6@3
5@4

Lets say 7 upsets 2 and both 3 and 4 take care of business then the 2nd round looks like:

7@1
4@3

If 7 pulls a '19 Titans and 3 beats 4 then 3 has homefield in the Conference Championship.

Not bad actually. Sometimes teams get hot late after a piss poor start but fall just shy of the playoffs due to tiebreakers. With this setup, that 7th seed could potentially be the most dangerous team in the playoffs.
