I don’t believe in playoffs to decide league titles. A team should not be penalized simply because they don't matchup well with ONE team (in the playoffs).
If team B can beat teams C, F, H, and J, and those are the teams they play in the playoffs, are they really more deserving than team A, who can beat everyone (including team B) but team C who they lose to in the second round of the playoffs?
The fairest way to decide a championship is to have every team play each team home and away, and the team with the best record wins the championship. It doesn't always have the excitement of playoffs. But the Manchester City title over United a couple years back was the most exciting finish in sports.

I would rather be gouged in both eyes with chopsticks than watch NASCAR.
It amazes me that this garbage hasn't disappeared completely and I can't understand how anyone enjoys it.

So each NFL team has a 62 game season?

agree with the first part, disagree with the second. Sure, the round robin home and home is indisputably the most fair system.
It is also routinely the most boring. Playoffs are exciting. They are also unfair. As a fan, I choose exciting over fairness.
The champion is not the "best" team. they are just the team that won the title. But I'd rather watch a pressure packed playoff game, knowing full well it doesn't determine the "best" team, mainly because it is more exciting, while still having some semblance of fairness. (It's not as unfair as, say, just having the last game, regardless, determine the winner of the league).

This is pretty fascinating. How about only 4 teams make the playoffs and then a Round Robin Tournament wins?
