These NFL playoff predictions look at the special match ups in the wild card round all the way to Super Bowl LI.

Sure, the regular season was crazy — but now twelve teams have a chance to win it all.

How the NFC played out was unexpected, with rookie sensations in Dallas rolling to the top seed. A strong, centered running game balanced with efficient passing and a tremendous offensive line were the keys to success.

On the flip side, the AFC was won by the usual suspects in New England. Tom Brady missed a fourth of the season and this team still went 14-2. If elite still means anything to Brady, he’ll want you to know it this season.

Before we see the top seeds in action during the divisional round, we have to look at the playoff games on wild card weekend.

In the AFC, Miami will travel to Pittsburgh for a date with the Steelers and the Raiders will start their journey in Houston.

Opposite them, the Giants will travel to Lambeau field for the red-hot Packers and the Lions will get a taste of Seattle.

Here’s a look at my predictions for every game.
