If a loss gives you an easier opponent in the playoffs, it'd make sense.
E.g., It's the final week of the season. The #2 seed in the conference just lost their starting QB for the year right before the playoffs. As a WC team, you could either A) win and play the #3 seed, or B) lose and play the #2 seed with no QB—all while resting your starters.
This is true
But who wants to playoff anyways am I right
