There is no incentive to play your starters once you've got home field advantage locked up. However, the Patriots will not take the foot off the gas and I think they go perfect unless Brady gets hurt.

Personally, I think a perfect regular season should be rewarded with an automatic entrance into the conference championship. Drop the 6th playoff team and have a 4 team playoff in the AFC to play the Patriots if they go perfect. It would make the end of the season a lot more interesting than when the Colts were dogging it a couple years ago.
