It's playoff time, and your Green Bay Packers are back in the dance. Of course, what else is new? The Packers have consistently made the playoffs for the better part of the last 30 years. During that time, they've held every position from the 1 seed, achieving home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, to the 7th seed, meaning they'll be the visitors in every game regardless of who they play. But do teams really care what seed they are once the playoffs begin?
Sure, seeding matters when it comes to having home-field advantage. You'd rather play at home with your home fans creating a raucous atmosphere for your opponent to endure than have to endure it yourself.
