I mean it's rare to have one so early in the season is all. Just makes this game that much more important. As far as "too-early' we have all looked at the schedule and know whats ahead for the Bills... like to think of the tie breakers in case
Meaning even if they finish with the same record the Bills will own the tiebreaker. So if the Bills win 10 games they will likely clinch a playoff spot (as long as the Steelers don't win every game that isn't the Browns or the Browns lose one game)
Only way it works is by only letting the 1 seed a bye. Even if you ddi something like baseball where the 6 would face the 7 that means the 1 seed gets 2 weeks which is too much
I think they should pull some teams from the NFC and move them to the AFC. Like flip the New York teams.
Honestly. New rivalries need to be made. There isn't one in the league except.maybe Balt/Pitt that even remotely seems interesting
