This depends on the year that you are referring to. For the 2013-2014 season, the following teams participated in the NFL playoffs:
The last seeded team will play the first seeded team, and so on and so on until there isn't a matchup of teams to play.
The NFL Playoff is a single elimination tournament. There are six teams from each conference in the playoffs. Four division winners and two "wild-card" teams. these six teams are seeded by their record. The top two teams have a first round bye.The NFL Playoff system is a four game tournament culminating with the Super Bowl.The top team in each Conference Division automatically qualifies for the playoffs. In addition, the two non-division winning teams with the best record qualify for the playoffs as wild card teams. The playoff tournamnet is a sudden death tournament. You lose, you go home.Teams are seeded in the playoffs, ranked 1-6. Teams are seeded by division record, so the team with the best record is the seeded1st, the 2nd best record is seeded second, etc. Division winners are always seeded higher than wild card teams, regardless of record. The top two teams per conference (those teams with the best records) receive byes for the first round of the playoffs. The remaining teams, seeds 2-6, play in the first round of the playoffs.Wild Card Weekend The 1st round of the NFL Playoffs is known as Wild Card Weekend. In the wild card round Team 3 plays Team 6 and Team 4 plays Team 5. The higher seeded team is the home team. The winning teams advance to the Divisional Playoffs.3rd Seed vs 6th seed4th seed vs 5th seedDivisional Playoffs In the Divisional Round of the playoffs, The first and second seeds play. The number one seed plays the team with the lowest ranking.1st seed vs lowest remaining seed2nd seed vs highest remaining seedConference Championship The remaining teams in each Conference (the AFC and the NFC) square off for the conference title. The Winners of the Conference Championship will move on to the Super Bowl.The Super Bowl The AFC Conference Champion versus the NFC Conference Champion.Whoever wins goes on to the next game and the loser goes home.There are six teams from each conference that make it to the playoffs. They are seeded 1-6 according to their records. The 1 and 2 teams get a bye week in the first round of the playoffs. Whatever two teams make it out of the first round play the other two teams in the second round. The winners of those two games go on to the conference championships. The winners of the conference championships go onto the superbowl
In the playoffs, a 'seed' is a ranking. This ranking is usually done by whether a team wins its division or, if they don't win their division, by a team's regular season win/loss record. A team that does not make the playoffs is not seeded ... they don't play anymore so there is no need to 'seed' them.
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.
16 teams total make the NBA playoffs, 8 teams from the Western Conference and 8 teams from the Eastern Conference. The teams with the eight best records in each conference will play in the playoffs. Division leaders are placed within the top four, and the next best record is also in the top four.
My guess would be in the Playoffs the players need their rest, so they can peform their best when they play.
Its when the top teams just like in regular baseball plus the wild card play against each other in the playoffs
The Oakland Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
AnswerThe NFL divides its teams into two conferences, which are then split into four divisions. The way its currently structured, there are six teams in each conference that qualify for the playoffs. The teams with the best record in each division, the division winners, qualify for the playoffs. The remaining two playoff spots go to the "Wild Card" teams. These are the next two best teams. These teams are then seeded 1 to 6 based on record, with the wild card team automatically being the 5th and 6th seeds.The first and second seeded team get a first round bye, meaning they do not play a game in the first week of the post season. The third seed plays the sxth seed and the 4th seed plays the fifth seed in the first week, which s known as the Wild Card Round.
8 in the eastern conference and 8 in the western conference so a total of 16 teams make the playoffs ervy year
Only in MLB can the teams from the same division not play each other, and that's only in the first round of playoffs. In the NFL, I think it's called the Divisional round because in theory, only divisional champs will be remaining in the playoffs after Wildcard Weekend.
1. Two teams must be present to play the game. 2.Each season all teams are fighting to make the playoffs. 3.Each team that makes the playoffs is closer to winning the Super Bowl. 4. The two teams that win their conference championships games gets a chance to play in the Super Bowl.
