No doubt first place is worth a lot more this year than ever due to only one team getting that bye. If you don't get it, you will be be playing a decent team that can win the game in round one. I'd much rather have a bye than have to play any of the potential Wild Card teams that first week even if it means getting a potentially lesser opponent in the next round. I strongly believe that the Dolphins winning that game in New England in the last week of last year and giving KC the bye was huge for them in ultimately winning.
