So, here's an interesting thought:
How would you guys feel if the NFL were to schedule division matchups around neutral weather, particularly in divisions where teams exist in vastly different climates from one another?
The AFC East would be a perfect candidate for this. Miami plays in a sub-tropical environment that is blisteringly hot and humid from September-much of October, offering Miami a significant homefield advantage when games against division foes from colder environments are played during the early portion of the season. New England, Buffalo, and New York, meanwhile, see their advantage towards the later portion of the season, where teams like Miami are not acclimated to the cold and snow. While I haven't taken the time to examine any specific data, it is well known that these weather advantages are not insignificant in determining the outcome of a game.
During the early part of the season, the north sees temperate weather, while during the later part, Miami sees temperate weather. Would you be OK with the NFL scheduling committee arranging division matchups, and only division matchups, around ensuring the fairest possible weather for both teams? So, Miami would play @NE or @Buffalo only in the early-mid sections of the season, while New England and Buffalo would only play @Miami during the mid-later half.
I'm not sure whether or not I would want something like this to exist myself, but I figured it was an interesting enough question to pose to others, as on its surface it doesn't seem like a terrible idea. Whenever I see that Miami plays @Buffalo in week 17, it's like goddamnit. Conversely, I'm sure Buffalo fans say the same thing while @Miami in week 1. It means the visiting team has to be significantly better than the homefield opponent in order to garner a victory.
The contention isn't that inclement weather is unfair, but rather that crucial division matchups shouldn't be dictated by it.
It's completely hypothetical and unimportant, but I found the idea interesting enough to warrant thought.
