Both the Jets and Cowboys face that issue this weekend.

I think the answer lies with the team that won during the regular season, or in both of these cases, last week, probably does little to change their game plan, since after all, it worked.
The team that loses, and in both these cases is slaughtered, has to go back to the beginning and start from scratch trying to figure out a better game plan then they had the last time and since theoretically, the winning team will likely use the same game plan, they know better what exactly to prepare for.

There may be a whole lot of other reasons but that is my theory and I am sticking to i.
