Exactly, seeding really means nothing. You have to play the games and beat the teams to advance. Any team can beat anyone no matter seedings or whether they play home or away.

The Giants would have to play someone "good" eventually and need to win to advance, their just doing it this week instead of next or maybe not if AZ plays next week like they played last night.

Oh, the Giants didn't need the #1 seed to win the Super Bowl last year. It just doesn't matter, if you are good enough you should win, if not you go home.
