It’s dumb no matter what, but the only way anybody will care about it is if there are actual stakes. And the only stakes I’ve seen mentioned are related to draft spots, and I don’t see why anybody who you’d actually play in these games would want to put the team in a better position to draft their replacement.

As has been pointed out ad nauseam, with the exception of the final these are regular season games. They are among the 82 games. If teams meet up in the knockout round, their future game/one of their future games later in the season gets cancelled

It adds competitive spice to the regular season in a time where football has an attention stranglehold

If you’re complaining that much you simply don’t understand it
