Divisional Playoffs
The Divisional Playoffs are the second round of the National Football League (NFL) playoffs. They are comprised of four teams, two from each conference, who have received first-round byes. The divisional playoffs are generally considered to be more difficult than the wild card playoffs, as the teams that make it to this round are usually the cream of the crop.
Who’s playing?
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held each year to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The playoffs, consisting of 12 teams total, begin in January and end with the championship game, known as the Super Bowl, which is usually held in early February.
The playoff teams are seeded according to their regular-season records, with the division champions being seeded 1–4 and the wild card teams being seeded 5–8. The higher-seeded team then hosts each subsequent game. In the divisional playoffs, only four teams play: the top two seeds from each conference (the winners of each division). These two games are generally referred to as the “divisional round”.
What are the matchups?
The NFL playoff field is set, and we now know the four divisional-round matchups.
On Saturday, the AFC will be in focus as the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs host the No. 6 seed Indianapolis Colts at 4:35 p.m. ET on NBC. The game will feature two of the hottest teams in the NFL, as the Chiefs have won nine in a row while the Colts have won 10 of their last 11.
Then, on Sunday, it will be the NFC’s turn as the No. 2 seed New Orleans Saints host the No. 7 seed Philadelphia Eagles at 4:40 p.m. ET on Fox. This will be a rematch of one of the wildest games of the regular season, a 48-7 win by the Saints back in Week 11.
The weekend will conclude with two more AFC matchups, as the No. 3 seed Houston Texans host the No. 5 seed Baltimore Ravens at 1:05 p.m. ET on CBS and the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Chargers travel to Foxborough to take on the No
What’s at stake?
In the NFL, the four division winners from each conference (the NFC and AFC) advance to the playoffs, as do the two wild-card teams from each conference (the four non-division-winning teams with the best records). The divisional playoff games are always played on Saturday and Sunday. The higher seed hosts the lower seed for each game.
Conference Championships
It’s conference championship week in the NFL, which means that we’ll be crowning four division winners and sending them off to the playoffs. But before we get there, let’s take a look at what seeds each team is playing for.

The Conference Championships are played between the winners of the divisional round games in each conference.

In the NFC, it will be the #1 seed Los Angeles Rams vs. either the #2 seed New Orleans Saints or the #3 seed Philadelphia Eagles.
What’s at stake?
The conference championships are the penultimate round of the NFL playoffs. The four divisional winners from each conference (AFC and NFC) meet in head-to-head matches, with the winners advancing to the Super Bowl.
In the AFC, the top seed will host the lowest remaining seed from the divisional round, while the second seed will host the other AFC divisional round winner. In the NFC, it’s reversed – the lowest remaining seed will travel to face the top seed, while the other NFC divisional round winner will travel to face the second seed.
The conference championship games are set for Sunday, January 20. The AFC game will be played at 3:05 p.m. ET on CBS, while the NFC game will be played at 6:40 p.m. ET on Fox.
Super Bowl
The National Football League (NFL) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the NFL’s regular season to determine the league’s champion. The playoffs were first implemented in 1933, when the NFL was formed. As of 2021, the tournament consists of 14 teams: the six division winners and the two wild-card teams.
Who’s playing?
The NFC playoffs will feature the top seeds in each conference: the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams. The Saints are coming in hot, having won nine of their last 10 games. The Rams had a bit of a stumble down the stretch, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears, but they’re still a dangerous team. In the AFC, things are a little more wide open. The Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are the top seeds, but the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens are both capable of making a run at the Super Bowl.
What are the matchups?
The National Football League (NFL) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs. A interchangeable seeding system determines the playoff schedule.
In the Wild Card round, the third seed hosts the sixth seed and the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed. The top two seeds from each conference receive a bye in this round. In the Divisional round, the top seed in each conference hosts the lowest remaining seed from the Wild Card round, while which second seed hosts other team left over. The two remaining teams from each conference then face each other in Conference Championship games, hosted by whoever has home-field advantage for that game.
What’s at stake?
The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important American football game of the year. It is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is played by the two best teams in the NFL, who compete for the Lombardi Trophy.
In order to play in the Super Bowl, a team must first make it through the playoffs. The playoffs are a series of elimination games that culminate in the Super Bowl. The teams that make it to the playoffs are seeded according to their records during the regular season.
The four teams that earn a bye in the first round of the playoffs are seeded as follows:
1. The team with the best record in each conference earns a bye to the divisional round.
2. The team with the second-best record in each conference earns a bye to the divisional round.
3. The two remaining division winners with the best records earn byes to the divisional round.
4. The two remaining division winners with the second-best records earn byes to Wild Card weekend.
The four teams that play in Wild Card weekend are seeded as follows:
1) The two Wild Card qualifiers with the best records play each other.
2) The two Wild Card qualifiers with then next-best records play each other.
The winner of each Wild Card game then moves on to play one of the four divisional playoff games. These four games pit a Division Winner against a Wild Card team, and are as follows:
1) The AFC 1 seed plays against a Wild Card team from either Conference.
2) The AFC 2 seed plays against a Wild Card team from either Conference.
3) The NFC 1 seed plays against a Wild Card team from either Conference.
4) The NFC 2 seed plays against aWild Card team from either Conference
