    NFL Playoff Format Remains Unchanged for Now

    Adding another team will continue to be evaluated but it will not happen for the 2015 Playoffs.


    Speaking at the Owners' Meetings in Arizona, commissioner Roger Goodell said the league has "postponed" the expanded playoffs idea.

    The idea will continue to be evaluated over the next year, but Goodell stressed scheduling issues and the importance of the regular seasons as factors.

    thanks LT

    saw Roger Goodell addressing this on NFL network.

    i guess if you are not a top 6 you dont deserve to be in the playoffs anyway so IMO this is not really a big deal

    Always glad to have more games to bet. I hope they get it done sooner than later.

    One more team won't hurt the playoffs too much. Makes the top rank in the conference that more valuable. Some deserving teams have missed the playoffs because a sub .500 team wins their division. Wouldn't go past that though.

    Would love to see the extra point go to at least 35 yards.

    Philly Eagles (10-6) didn't get in and would have smoked either Arizona or Carolina during Week 18.

    Eagles (if 7-seed) would have played at Green Bay. 7-team playoff means just one bye, which would have been Seattle.

    Only a matter of time until a 18 game regular season and 9 playoff teams in each conference.

    Can't exceed eight playoff teams unless NFL wants to play into March.

    Also 8 playoff teams could mean a Monday Night Doubleheader first round. The expansion to 7 teams would have meant tripleheaders Saturday-Sunday.

    Philly was a playoff team until Sanchez took over.

    They were in like a 4-way tie for the 7-seed last year at 9-7, although I don't know off hand who would have gotten the seventh spot. Whoever it was would have gone to Denver and had a chance given Manning couldn't throw.

    That defense was a much bigger problem than Sanchez. Hard to win in the NFL, giving up 24+ every week.

    The more games the better for us bettors. Might water down the competition though
