There is no bye in the Divisional (2nd round) playoff games. The first and second seeded teams in each conference each get a bye week in the Wildcard (1st) round of the playoffs.
There are 3 rounds. The first round has 8 players and the top 4 players advance to the second round. The second round has 4 players and the top 2 players advance. The totals for the first round are counted again in the second round - a good first round can sometimes guarantee entrance to the final round. The final round is head-to-head.
I think the winner gets around 25,000 1st round, 37,000 2nd round and 75,000 for the Super Bowl.

All the players play two rounds. The cut happens after the second round.
In order to get to the Super Bowl a player has to be on a team that qualifies for the NFL Playoffs. There are two conferences in the NFL, the AFC and the NFC. Each conference has six teams that qualify for the post season. Teams can qualify for the playoffs as a division winner (4 teams) or as a wild card (2 teams). In order to get to the Super Bowl a team must win either two or three playoff games. If on a team seeded 1 or 2, the team plays in two playoff games. They are the Divisional Round and the Championship game. If the team wins both of these games, they qualify for the Super Bowl. If on a team seeded 3-6, then there are three games that must be won in order to qualify for the Super Bowl. The first round is the Wild Card Round, followed by the Divisional Round, and then the Championship game. If a player is on a team that wins all of their playoff games, that team qualifies to play in the Super Bowl.
Not unless there's an injury that forces a player to be completely removed from the roster. At the start of the first game of each playoff round, the manager must submit a list of 40 players he wants to be eligible for this round. This list can (in theory) include players with no major league experience*. If a player is injured, he can be removed from the roster and replaced by someone else -- again, this can (in theory) include someone with no major league experience. However, the player removed due to injury can not play in any further playoff games that season. If the entire team slumps (like the 1966 Dodgers), that's just too bad. * Note that any player put on the post-season roster MUST have been part of that team's organization on or before August 31 of that year -- no ringers allowed!
I've been playing Fantazzle's daily games all year and I just found out they're having games throughout the playoffs. They have two different types of games (one for the entire playoffs, and one round-by-round). Check the link.

they play best of 7 in each round
The University of Kentucky in 2012 placed a total of six players in the NBA, five in the first round and 1 in the second round. This included the first time ever for the first and second draft picks from a single University.
No. The Clippers have made the playoffs four times, losing three times in the first round (Utah twice and Houston). The only playoff series they won was in 2006 when they defeated Denver in the first round. They lost to Phoenix in the second round.
