From conference to champion
Your road to the Super Bowl
Seed 1 receives a first-round bye. The divisional round pairs the top seed with the lowest remaining seed. The bracket opens when the full regular-season schedule and required seed tiebreaks are available.

How to use the NFL playoff predictor
- 01
Choose a week and conference. Pick winners or ties for open games; registered finals remain unchanged.
- 02
Compare the official snapshot with your scenario. Review unpicked games and explicitly resolve any tiebreak that needs missing data.
- 03
Build the playoff bracket from wild card weekend to the Super Bowl, then share your scenario or explore the linked markets.
How are NFL playoff seeds calculated?
The model ranks each division using win-loss-tie percentage and the applicable tiebreak sequence, then seeds four division winners ahead of three wild cards per conference. Ties count as half a win. Head-to-head, division, conference, common-opponent records, strength of victory and strength of schedule are recalculated from registered results and your picks.
What happens when a tiebreak cannot be determined?
The tool does not substitute alphabetical order for an NFL rule. Point-ranking, net-point and net-touchdown criteria require complete inputs; winner-only future picks do not provide those scores. When an applicable criterion lacks data, or a terminal tie needs a coin toss, you can explicitly choose a hypothetical tiebreak winner. The scenario labels that choice as an assumption.
Does the playoff bracket reseed after wild card weekend?
Yes. The first seed has a bye, then hosts the lowest remaining seed in the divisional round. The other two survivors play each other. Winners advance to the conference finals and Super Bowl. Changing a matchup invalidates incompatible downstream picks. Registered postseason finals remain locked.
Are these probabilities or official playoff guarantees?
The standings and bracket describe your entered scenario. They are not statistical probabilities or mathematical clinch/elimination guarantees. Unpicked games remain unplayed in the displayed records. Final results come from the championship registered on the site; market prices are separate and do not change with your picks. Shared links retain only valid remaining picks when results change.
