NFL should switch to a 12 team, 16 week play-off format

[BlackOp]

This "one team gets a bye" format is lame...so I put together an experiment.

NFL should switch to a 16 game, 12 team play-off system...

Every division winner gets a bye and a home game...

Week 17 would essentially become eight elimination wild card games (teams 5-12)...three on Saturday, three on Sunday and two on Monday night

Week 18 would be the same format with the #1/2 seeds getting the four marque (normal) time slots at home.

Week 19 would have four games like the divisional rounds....

Week 20 would be championship weekend.

Essentially no team has only two playoff games... and only 6 teams have an extra game.

I like the idea of all division winners get a bye and a week to rest....right now there isn't much reward for winning your division.

This would make the season a lot more interesting for the middle of the road teams... and ones that got injured early or get "hot" late.
