SuperMatt pretty much nailed it, the schedule is already very imbalanced in the current system. Case in point the Bucs get to play a boatload of games vs terrible teams because of the division they're in, yet still finish below .500 and get into the playoffs. Meanwhile, basically the opposition situation in a division like the NFC East.
Every divisional opponent home & away is not necessarily a requirement, IMO.
