Questions
How many NFL playoff games are there?
13: six wild-card games, four divisional games, two conference championships and the Super Bowl. Fourteen teams qualify, seven from each conference, and the top seed in each conference skips the wild-card round.
Why do the points double each round?
So the pool is still open at the end. With one point a game, whoever leads after the six wild-card games has usually won. Doubling makes each round worth about the same in total: 6, 8, 8 and 8 points.
Do we pick every round up front?
No. The NFL re-seeds after the wild-card round, so later matchups are not known in advance. Pick one round at a time, before its first kickoff.
