I don't like this new proposal but I am resigned to the fact that it is going to pass, and here's why:
Fans are looking at this as a major punishment for the #2 seed, but rest assured the owners don't see it that way. Owners see it as a reward for the #2 seed. Yes you read that right, this is a reward for the #2 seed.
How so? Because this is first and foremost a business. Under the new system, the #2 seed is guaranteed 2 home games as long as they win (with the potential for 3 if that top seed should falter).
Revenue from 2 home games > Revenue from 1 home game
And let me tell you one more thing: You'll have to pay for all 3 potential home games when you buy your playoff tickets. So Bob Kraft gets much more money much sooner.
