In the NBA or NHL, you occasionally get an exciting 7 or 8 seed with a shot to win. In MLB, a team on the periphery of the playoff picture can get hot in September and ride that wave throughout October. In the NFL, I just don’t see the 7 seed ever having a chance. There’s gonna be a lot of years, like this one, where the 2 seed is probably the best team in the conference, and they beat the 7 seed so bad that you wonder why they bothered with the game.
