He says they probably gave them the hardest schedule mostly because they will be in the playoffs anyway. As you said though that is lame and there needs to be general fairness involved.
The NFL makes this alot harder than it should be, for example the bye weeks make it more complicated. Instead of doing what the other leagues do and have a mid season week break they stagger everyone then throw in Thursday night games and holiday games now it just to much.
