Wildcard weekend lineup proves need for playoff changes

The NFL seriously needs to look at changing the way it seeds playoff teams. This season points that out in bold...

(12-4) Ravens at Chiefs (10-6)
(11-5) Saints at Seahawks (7-9)
(11-5) Jets at Colts (10-6)
(10-6) Packers at Eagles (10-6)

In three of the four wildcard matches, the team with the weaker record is hosting the team with the better record.

The fourth matchup contains two teams with the same record, but the Packers have already met and defeated the Eagles in the regular season, in a sense giving them a "tiebreaker".
