Still, if nothing is on the line it's not going to stop teams from resting guys.

Yeah, you could get a repeat of our stomping of Dallas to get us into the playoffs but really not meaning a lot to them (or did it determine if they got home field?)

Say it's the locked in number 1 vs the number 4.. who cares?

Decent idea though.. even if there aren't playoff implications it gives the fans
(I'd argue casual fans) of teams that won't make it to continue following their team.. increased tv ratings, attendance, etc
