How NFL Playoff Teams Are Seeded

Each division winner qualifies and takes seeds 1 to 4 in its conference by record. The three best remaining teams are wild cards, seeded 5 to 7. Ties are broken by head-to-head, then division or conference record, common games, strength of victory and strength of schedule. Only the No. 1 seed in each conference gets a bye.

Every one of the 32 NFL teams listed here has its own page with record, seed, schedule and playoff path, all updated automatically. The playoff picture ranks the same teams by seed, and the bracket shows where they land.
