NFL Divisional Playoffs
The NFL’s 32 team league is divided into two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). As of 2002, each conference is further divided into 4 divisions of 4 teams each. Six teams of each conference qualify to fill the tournaments brackets, following the end of the 16 game regular season.
Based on their overall record, the NFL Playoffs seeds each of the 4 division winners based on their overall records. Two wildcard teams are seeded 5th and 6th regardless of their records compared to the 4 division winners.
Commonly known as the Wild Card Playoffs and more recently the Wild Card Weekend is the first round of the playoffs. The 3rd-seeded division winner hosts the 6th seed wild card, and the 4th seed hosts the 5th. The 1 and the 2 seeds from each conference receive a bye or a free pass in the first round, which entitles these teams to automatically advance to the second round, the Divisional Playoff games, to face the Wild Card survivors. Unlike most tournaments, with a predetermined bracket, each round of the playoffs is 're-seeded'; the highest surviving seed always hosts the lowest surviving seed, the second-highest hosts the second-lowest, etc.This guarantees each division winner at least one home playoff game. The two surviving teams from the Divisional Playoff games meet in Conference Championship games, with the winners of those contests going on to face one another in the Super Bowl.
