I think the most elegant way of doing that would be to eliminate two preseason games, add two more playoff teams and eliminate the first round bye for 1 and 2 seeds. That gives you two extra games.

The problem with that is that you may end up with another Seattle (forgetting the fact that they beat the Saints) type situation where teams with shoddy records were in the playoffs.
