How does NFL playoff seeding work?
Seven teams from each conference make the playoffs. The four division winners are seeded 1 to 4 by record and the three wild cards 5 to 7, so a division winner always ranks above a wild card, whatever their records. Only the No. 1 seed gets a first-round bye; in the wild-card round No. 2 hosts No. 7, No. 3 hosts No. 6 and No. 4 hosts No. 5, and the bracket is re-seeded after each round so the highest remaining seed always faces the lowest.
