Do you follow any sport besides the NFL? The NHL and NBA both have two conferences. East always plays West. It's not hard to wrap your head around.

 

I agree that it needs to remain at 12 teams. Home field advantage, though, is supposed to be a reward. A 12-4 team like San Francisco deserves to play at home more than a 8-7-1 Green Bay team. If San Fran was in the NFC North, they get a first round Bye as a 2 seed. If Green Bay was in the NFC West, they don't even make the playoffs. Yet it makes sense to give Green Bay the reward of home field advantage? All you are doing is rewarding teams for playing in crappy divisions.

 

No, I don't follow any other sports. I only like one men's sport.

 

The NFL was not rewarding Green Bay for playing in a bad division. The Lions started out very good and for a few weeks, they were the favorite to win the division. Also I remember the Bears, Packers, and Lions being tied multiple times. It looked like a strong conference before Aaron Rodgers got hurt and the Lions stopped looking good. Also, if Rodgers had been able to play all 16 games, chances are pretty good the Packers would be 12-4 too.
