NFL playoff odds

AFC matchups

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills won the turnover battle 3-0 as they scraped by the Baltimore Ravens, 27-25, to set up a date with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs dropped C.J. Stroud eight times as they tamed the Houston Texans, 23-14.

The Bills and Chiefs have played some instant classics over the last few years, and their last two playoff meetings were both one-score games.

NFC matchups

Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles

NFC East rivals collide as the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles meet at Lincoln Financial Field with a trip to Super Bowl 59 on the line.

Washington scraped by the Buccaneers before beating the Lions in a massive upset, both on the road, with Jayden Daniels demonstrating poise far beyond his rookie status. The Eagles made light work of the Packers before dispatching the Rams, both at home, as Saquon Barkley continues to run wild.

The home team won each divisional meetings this year, and the loss the Commanders handed the Eagles was their only defeat since their Week 5 bye (14-1).

NFL playoffs key dates

Here is a look at the NFL playoff schedule for January and February 2025.

• Wild Card Weekend: January 11-13
• Divisional Round: January 18-19
• Conference Championship Round: January 26
• Super Bowl 59: February 9

NFL playoffs format

The NFL playoffs expanded prior to the 2020 season and will run the same format in 2024, with 14 teams in the postseason — seven from each conference.

In each conference, the division winners will comprise the Nos. 1-4 spots, while the Nos. 5-7 spots will come via wild cards. The top seed in both the AFC and the NFC will get a first-round bye, with the other matchups proceeding as follows:

• No. 2 seed vs. No. 7 seed (lowest-ranked wild card)
• No. 3 seed vs. No. 6 seed
• No. 4 seed (lowest-ranked division winner) vs. No. 5 seed (highest-ranked wild card)

After the first round, the No. 1 seed will face the lowest remaining seed in their conference, while the other two teams will square off. Those winners will meet in the conference championship, and then the winners of those games — the AFC and NFC champions — will meet in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
