Wondering what NFL teams are in the playoffs? Check out our list of the divisions and teams that have clinched a spot!
AFC Wild Card Round
The AFC Wild Card Round features four teams: the Buffalo Bills, the Houston Texans, the New England Patriots, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. These teams will battle it out in two games to see who will advance to the AFC Divisional Round.
Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans
The AFC Wild Card Round is upon us and there are some great match-ups this year. One of the most interesting is the Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans. These two teams met earlier in the season with the Bills coming out on top 22-19. That was a close game and it could go either way this time around.
The Bills are led by their strong defense which is ranked 2nd in the NFL. They will need to be at their best against the Texans who have a potent offense led by quarterback Deshaun Watson. The Bills will also need to find a way to score against a Houston defense that is ranked 3rd in the NFL.
The Texans are coming into this game with some momentum after winning their last three games of the regular season. They will be looking to continue that success against a Buffalo team that they have had trouble with in recent years.
This should be a great game and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Tennessee Titans vs. New England Patriots
In the AFC Wild Card Round, the Tennessee Titans will take on the New England Patriots. The Titans finished the regular season with a 9-7 record, while the Patriots went 11-5. This will be a rematch of a Week 10 game in which the Patriots won 34-10.
The Titans are led by quarterback Marcus Mariota, who threw for 3,232 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season. He also ran for 313 yards and five touchdowns. Running back Derrick Henry will be a key player for the Titans offense, as he ran for 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns in the regular season.
The Patriots are led by quarterback Tom Brady, who threw for 4,577 yards and 32 touchdowns in the regular season. He will have plenty of weapons to work with, as wide receivers Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon each had over 700 receiving yards in the regular season. Running back Sony Michel also had a strong season, rushing for 931 yards and six touchdowns.
This should be a close game, but ultimately I think the Patriots will come out on top. They have too much firepower on offense for the Titans to keep up with, and I think Brady will make some big plays when it matters most.
NFC Wild Card Round
The NFL playoffs are here and there are four teams vying for a spot in the Super Bowl. In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers are the top seed and they will be playing the New York Giants. The second game will be between the Seattle Seahawks and the Detroit Lions.
Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints
The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Wild Card Round this Sunday. The game will be played at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, with kickoff set for 4:40 p.m. ET.
The Vikings are coming off a disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, but they still managed to clinch the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs thanks to losses by the Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers. Minnesota finished the regular season with a record of 10-6, and they’ll be looking to bounce back against a Saints team that beat them 29-19 back in Week 1.
New Orleans also had a chance to clinch a first-round bye with a win in Week 16, but they came up short against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will now have to settle for the seventh seed. The Saints went 11-5 during the regular season, and they’ll be looking to get revenge against a Vikings team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year.
This should be a great game between two evenly matched teams, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top. Be sure to tune in this Sunday afternoon to find out!

The Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles will face off in the NFC Wild Card Round on Sunday, January 5 at 4:40 p.m. ET. The Seahawks are the No. 5 seed in the NFC, while the Eagles are the No. 6 seed.
This will be a rematch of a regular season game that took place back in Week 12, when the Eagles defeated the Seahawks 24-10.
