But sometimes it’s a bit unfair. The NFC West is pretty stacked right now. They have the defending NFC champs and two other teams tied for 1st in the NFC. The rams will probably lose 4 games to just 2 teams. Now you can say that means they probably don’t deserve to be in the playoffs and you’d have an argument, but they are better than any team in the NFC East and the playoffs should have the best teams.
It’s also a bit ridiculous that either San Fran or Seattle will have to be the 5th seed. We might have a 13 win team playing on the road against a 7-9 Cowboys team.
