    I don't know if you're being sarcastic but no it doesn't. The same that happens in the MLB can happen in the NFL. A crappy 9-7 or 8-8 team can make the playoffs just by winning its division, not only that they would also get a game at home.

    I know divisions and conferences exist to avoid extra travelling miles but if it was up to me I would just have everybody playing everybody with the top teams getting to the playoffs.

    Don't remember. What I do remember is that last year the Broncos got a game at home (and won) against the Steleers that shouldn't have had if it wasn't for this divisions thing.

    They won their division at 7-9, and then knocked the Bunty Chets out of the playoffs, tbh....

    If only the MLB had NBA-like schedules, the Tigers easily win the WS with a 3 man rotation of Verlander, Fister and Scherzer

    With this long inning by the Tigers, Verlander might just finish the entire game by himself.

    6-0. Need about 4 more runs before I'll be ok with Valverde closing this one out.

They're not that impressive as a team.

    Tigers starting pitchers with 5 earned runs allowed and a 1.29 ERA. Bullpen closers should be Al Al and Rick Porcello.

    If Cabrera and Fielder get their bats going, A-Roid and Derek should just pack their bags
