What other wild card teams other than GB, and the Giants of 2007 had some statistical advantage over everyone else? Pack never trailed by more than 7 points ever last season, no other teams had that, and each loss was 7 points or fewer. I'm not saying wild card teams suck, but you do want homefield advantage. This team won it last year on the road for 3 games, but that barely ever happens in the league. What would you rather have? Going on the road for 3 games to the Super Bowl, or home field advantage knowing you are safer in your own stadium? I think I'd go with option B, especially if it comes down to Dome teams. You WANT to force those dome teams like New Orleans and Detroit to come to a cold weather atmosphere, as they are dome teams.</blockquote>
