After Christmas, the last two games of the 18-game regular season are actually THE divisional playoff as the four teams within each division face off. Importantly, each team has a chance to win the division. If a #1 seed is knocked off by #4 seed in the divisional semi-final then #4 advances to the divisional championship game. If #3 seed beats #2 seed the divisional championship pits #3 v. #4 divisional seeds and #1 and #2 play a consolation game. This completes 18 regular season games for each NFL franchise.

Following the divisional round comes conference championship round. Two conferences have determined the four divisional winners during the regular season. So each conference hosts two semi-final conference playoff games. ONLY the two winners of the conference semi-final advance to a conference title game. There is no consolation game. Logically, the two conference champs square off in the Super Bowl.

Press Release, Day After: Prices On The Rise As Fewer Games Reduce Revenue Opportunities

The 18-game season actually increases revenue potential as two FORMER meaningless pre-season contests become finale-type divisional playoff games . The end of the regular season every NFL team advances to the divisional round. 

The divisional match ups are for all the marbles. You have to win both the divisional semi-final and divisional final to become the divisional champ and advance to the conference round.

Think of how intense the last two weeks of the NFL will become.
