NFL playoff schedule: Matchups, game dates and times for all rounds and Super ...


NFL Playoff Schedule and Odds

The final day of the NFL regular season did not disappoint.

The AFC playoff picture ended up much different by day"s end than it looked when Sunday kicked off, with the Steelers swiping the No. 6 seed from the Jets and the Broncos vaulting up to the No. 1 overall seed after beating the Chargers and seeing New England lose in Miami.

Over in the NFC, the Seahawks put the whole league on notice with a 36-6 stomping of NFC West champion Arizona. Seattle will be a wild-card team that no one wants to play. The Panthers won to move to 15-1 and locked up home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.

Sunday night"s de facto NFC North championship game went to the Minnesota Vikings. That means the Vikings get the No. 3 seed and will host the Seattle Seahawks next week. The Green Bay Packers go on the road to Washington to face the Redskins.

The playoff game dates, times and TV information are all below.
