The NFL may add a wild-card team to each conference. Money at the expense of the integrity of the playoffs, but it looks like the odds lean against it for now.(I support strongly having at least one wild-card team from each conference, and the case for two is decent. A third wild-card team will almost always be no better than about fifth in the conference, regardless of how tough games break or schedule strengths differ, and the arbitrariness of a single-elimination tournament starts to overwhelm these arbitrarinesses.)
