The number one seed in both conferences will receive a bye into the divisional round. The remaining six seeds will battle it out in the wild card round. The second seeds will host the seventh, the third seeds hosting the sixth, and finally the fourth seeds will host the fifth. In our printable PDF of the NFL Playoffs bracket, this step is already done.
Now it’s time to do a little digging and make your wild card round picks. Some teams have a significant advantage when playing at home, due to crowd, weather, or field conditions. Take a look at the hosting team’s home record versus how the visiting team fared in their road contests this season. Also be sure to look at how the team’s head to head matchups went in the regular season where applicable.
Now you’re into the divisional round games. Make sure to take into account that not only do the number one seeds have home field advantage they also have a significant rest advantage coming off a bye. The one seed will play the highest-seeded team coming out of the Wild Card round with the other two Wild Card round winners squaring off in the other Divisional Round game.
This round of playoff games could offer more potential games between division rivals so be sure to check out the recent history between teams that play each other at least twice a year.
Now you’ve weeded out the pretenders and you’re left with the creme of the crop in the NFL. The final four teams will undoubtedly be very good so take into account playoff history, this is where prior experience in big games can be a real difference maker.
We’re left with the best two teams from their respective conferences. All that’s left for you to do is pick the winner of the big game, which is set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
