6 teams from each conference (AFC, NFC), make the playoffs: the winners of each division (4), plus the two teams with the best record, who did not win their division (2). These teams are called Wild Cards. All teams are seeded according to overall record, with several tiebreakers in case more than one team have the same record. Two of the Wild Card teams play in the first weekend of the playoffs, and the other Wild Card team plays a division winner. The winners of those games, plays against the highest seeds., and so on, until the winners of each conference meet in the Super Bowl.

12 teams. 6 in each confernce. There are the 4 division winners and then 2 wild card teams in each league. The 2 division winners with the best record in each league have a bye the first week. The other 2 division winners host the wild card teams. Once the first round of the playoffs is over then the team with the best record in each league plays the team with the worst record remaining.

6 teams from each conference, the 4 division leaders and the two teams with the best record after that. Tie breakers are head to head games, division wins, conference wins and if it is still tied overall point differential. The 2 division leading teams with the best records get a first week bye and the team with the highest seeding maintains home field advantage.
