re: Someone explain the "neutral site" reasoning for me.

Had Cincy won the canceled game, they would have had the home-field advantage in that game vs Buffalo yet they still played that as though Buffalo Should have home-field vs Cincy. Although I understand a conference championship game is more significant than the qualifying game, there is only one reason it makes sense to me that they would do that in the Buffalo/KC matchup but not the Cincy/Buffalo matchup. I think it was a flyer to test moving the conference championship games to a neutral site to see what the response might be. It is a moot point here, however.
