Home Field in the NFC could be decided by Oct 9th. Packers will have played the Saints, Bears and Falcons. Falcons would have played the Bears, Eagles, Bucs (don't count them out), and Packers. Bears will have played Falcons, Saints, Packers. Saints will have played Packers and Bears. Eagles will have played Falcons and Bucs. Well that's not true. Some tiebreakers could be decided by then. But home field in the NFC? Come on. Good teams will lose to bad teams as the season goes on, and it'll affect playoff seeding. Packers and Bears both lost to the Redskins last year.
