What is the NFL playoffs?
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the National Football League (NFL)’s regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records, and a tie-breaking procedure exists in the case of equal records. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, the league’s championship game.
Who is left in the NFL playoffs?
There are only 8 teams left in the NFL playoffs competing for the Lombardi Trophy. In the AFC, the bracket consists of the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Indianapolis Colts. In the NFC, the teams vying for a chance to play in the Super Bowl are the New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears, and Dallas Cowboys. These teams have all fought hard throughout the regular season and their success has carried over into the playoffs.
The Patriots are looking to defend their title from last year and win their 6th Super Bowl in franchise history. They have one of the best quarterbacks of all time in Tom Brady and a head coach in Bill Belichick that is considered to be a genius. The Pats are always a tough team to beat, but they will have their work cut out for them against a red-hot Chiefs team.
The Chiefs haven’t won a playoff game since 1994, but they come into this year’s playoffs as one ofthe favorites to win it all. They have an explosive offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes that can score points in bunches. If Mahomes can avoid turning the ball over, the Chiefs will be tough to beat.
In the NFC, both the Saints and Rams look like they could be headed to the Super Bowl. The Saints narrowly edged out the Rams for the top seed in the conference and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They also have one ofthe best quarterbacks in Drew Brees and a dominant defense that is led by Defensive Rookie ofthe Year candidate Marcus Davenport.
The Rams had one ofthe best offenses in NFL history this season and they will be a tough team to stop in these playoffs. They are led by Coach ofthe Year Sean McVay and two-time Defensive Player ofthe Year Aaron Donald on defense. If quarterback Jared Goff can play well, then the Rams will be hard to beat.
The Bears snuck into these playoffs with a last-second victory over division rivals Vikings in Week 17. They haven’t made it this far since 2010 when they lost to Green Bay in the NFC Championship game. The Bears are led by defensive mastermind Matt Nagy and a ferocious defense that includes 2018 Defensive Player ofthe Year Khalil Mack. If quarterback Mitchell Trubisky can avoid turning the ball over, then Chicago could make some noise in these playoffs
The AFC Playoff Picture
There are only four teams left in the NFL playoffs, and they’re all from the AFC. The New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Kansas City Chiefs are the four teams remaining. The AFC Championship game will be played on January 21st, and the winner of that game will go on to the Super Bowl.

2. The Baltimore Ravens (10-6) have clinched a playoff berth and the #4 seed in the conference.
3. The Indianapolis Colts (10-6) have clinched a playoff berth and the #5 seed in the conference.

The AFC Divisional Picture
The Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans will battle it out in the AFC Divisional round this weekend. The Ravens are coming off a bye week after winning the AFC North with a record of 12-4. The Titans defeated the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round last week to earn their spot in the divisional round.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the top seed in the AFC and they will take on the Houston Texans this weekend. The Chiefs had a bye week last week after finishing the regular season with a record of 12-4. The Texans defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round to earn their spot in the divisional round.
The winner of the Ravens/Titans game will take on the winner of the Chiefs/Texans game in the AFC Championship game next weekend.
The NFC Playoff Picture
The NFC playoff picture is wide open heading into the final week of the season. The Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys all have a chance to earn a first-round bye, while the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons are fighting for the NFC South title.
The NFC Wild Card Picture
The NFC Wild Card Picture is wide open heading into the final week of the season. There are four teams fighting for two spots, and any of them could wind up in the playoffs.
The Carolina Panthers are currently in the lead for the first spot, with a record of 11-4. They are followed closely by the New Orleans Saints, who are also 11-4. The Panthers have the tiebreaker over the Saints, so they would get the first spot if the season ended today.
The Seattle Seahawks are in third place at 9-6, and they are followed by the Minnesota Vikings at 8-7. The Seahawks have a much easier road to the playoffs than the Vikings, as they just need to win their final game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Vikings, on the other hand, need to beat the Green Bay Packers and have both the Panthers and Saints lose their final games.
If all of that happens, it would be a shootout between all four of those teams for the two wild card spots. It should be an exciting final week of football!

The Super Bowl
The biggest game of the year is upon us. The Super Bowl. This is the game that decides who is the best team in the NFL. Who will be crowned the champion? The answer will be revealed on Sunday, February 2nd.
Who will make it to the Super Bowl?
As the NFL regular season comes to a close, we now know which teams will be playing in the conference championship games.
In the AFC, the New England Patriots will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. This will be a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship game, which the Patriots won in overtime.
In the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams will take on the New Orleans Saints. This will be a rematch of a regular season game that the Rams won in overtime.
Both games will be played on Sunday, January 20th. The winner of each game will advance to the Super Bowl, which will be played on Sunday, February 3rd.
Who will win the Super Bowl?
The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams will face off in the 2019 Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3. The Patriots are currently listed as 2.5-point favorites to win the game.
The Rams are making their first Super Bowl appearance since 2002, when they were defeated by the Patriots 20-17. This will be the Patriots’ 11th appearance in the Super Bowl, which is the most by any franchise in NFL history. The Pats have won five of those games, including last year’s matchup against the Eagles.
New England’s Tom Brady is the only quarterback in NFL history to win five Super Bowls. He will be looking to tie former San Francisco 49ers QB Joe Montana for the most Super Bowl wins by a quarterback with six on Sunday.
The Rams’ Jared Goff is one of only two quarterbacks (along with Brady) to have appeared in back-to-back Super Bowls this century. He will be looking to become just the sixth quarterback ever to win consecutive Super Bowls.
Both teams boast strong defenses that figure to make this a close, low-scoring affair. The Pats allowed an average of only 20 points per game during the regular season (second fewest in the NFL), while the Rams gave up an average of 24 points per game (fourth fewest).
New England’s run game could also play a big role in determining who wins this game. The Pats ran for an average of 122 yards per game during the regular season (seventh most in the NFL), while Los Angeles averaged a league-low 84 rushing yards per contest.
With two evenly matched teams and so much on the line, Sunday’s game is sure to be a classic.
