NFL Wild Card Weekend Preview
—-
Wondering which teams are going to advance in the playoffs? You’ve come to the right place to find out!
Fittingly, an unprecedented 2020 NFL season remained unsettled until the 256th and final regular-season game. Washington’s win on Sunday night clinched the NFC East division title (with a losing record, no less) and locked in the 2020 playoff field.
The league expanded its postseason to 14 teams this season, meaning only the No. 1 seeds — the Chiefs in the AFC and the Packers in the NFC — will get first-round byes. The other 12 teams will compete in a six-game wild-card weekend that opens in just six days.
Our playoff primer previews those matchups and takes a broader look at what each team must do to reach Super Bowl LV next month in Tampa, Florida, along with their updated chances via Football Power Index (FPI).
