This is a step in the right direction. They felt they needed 82 games, so there are three "wild card games". That's wrong. They should have gone with 79 games. The players are injured as it is.
But if you're going to have "wild card games" why not play them all during week 1? Then they would matter less.
Better still would be 4 games vs conference teams (16) and two games vs other conference (30) and two games vs other teams in conference (20) = 66 games.
OR
1 game against each team in the other conference to start the season (15)
6 games against division opponents (24)
4 games against conference oppoenennts (40)
= 79 games
No need for the extra three! Give the boys a rest. And use the shoter schedule in Olympic years.
