re: Makes no sense for teams with the better record go on the road in the NFL playoffs...

Someone or a few people said it below, schedules aren't the same. Some divisions are better/worse than others. For example, the Texans should have an easier schedule b/c they finished last in their division last year.

I don't mind it, but also wouldn't be against a change. Neither of the games you mentioned seem to not be highly contested even. But maybe they would have been if the situations were switched
