I would like to know everyone's thoughts on the 3 point advantage we give home teams. I don't think it came into play in any game this year, but I'm good with moving forward with it in future years. Let me know what you guys think now that its been implemented for a full year.

Actually it did come into play a couple of games this season. The Bills/Chiefs Week 8 and 49'ers/Seahawks in Week 9. Had a few other games that would obviously had been closer, but not nearly enough to have the effected outcome.
As for my personal thoughts, I like the idea and feel it should continue in the future. I would propose however, and really hope this isn't a biased opinion, that in the future, the Superbowl is the only game that does not give a home team advantage, as they are usually held at a preselected location.

Th Super Bowl will not have a home field advantage this year, that will always be designated as a neutral field.

I like the homefield advantage for regular season but feel as tho playoffs shouldn't have it the highest seed will play the lowest ect so maybe they already hold a slight advantage without 3pts on top

As an example, you were seeded #5, but showed on record to be a better team than the #1 and #2 seed, who had home team advantage. Had you beat me out in the division, you would of been the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. Just curious, since you would have earned the home field advantage throughout the playoffs, would you want to give up that advantage to another team?
