A solution to the "sitting starters" in Week 16/17?

How can you reward good teams with extra draft picks, and widen the balance between the haves and the have nots?

I heard this proposal by a listener to Sirius NFL Radio:

Schedule all non-conference and non-division games at the beginning of the year, and backload all the division games over the last 6 weeks of the season.

Division titles would likely still be on the line, and teams would have much more to play for at the end of the season.

Thoughts?

I don't like backloading ALL of the division games at the end. That would make the beginning of the season boring and the end too brutal. Teams do say that division games are harder and more hard hitting so putting them 6 weeks in a row is asking for injuries and a more worn down team come playoffs.
