Adding an 8th team would eliminate the bye for 2 teams.

It would also potential effect Baltimore, who could win the north if Cincy loses but no bye is on the line there. I think adding an 8th and thus eliminating the bye for the 1 seed seems reasonable as that is the primary advantage to getting the one. seed. They are also saying a potential neutral AFC champ site? That would be reasonable as well. Like you said no perfect solutions.
