And so we bid the NFL regular season farewell.
But don't be sad, it's time for the post-season!

That means it's time to play "Road to the Super Bowl". It's easy. It's fun.
None of us know what we're doing, but we do it anyway.

In the first round we pick the winners of the Wild Card games.
Then we pick the players and winners of the rest of the playoffs.

Here is how it works:

Wild Card Round
You get 1 point for each correct pick in the 4 Wild Card games.

- Plus you get 4 points if you get all 4 games right.

Playoffs
Then, you get 2 points for each game you get right in the first round of
the playoffs (Division championship)

-- and 4 points for predicting the winners in next round (Conference
championship)

-- and 8 points for correctly choosing the Super Bowl champion.

On we go!

I'll post the Wildcard Week schedule here as soon as it's available.

There are six games next round. Which 4 are the WC games? Or is it 6?

@JPB,
You're right! Six games it is. 1 point per game. $-point bonus.

I've been carrying the intro forward for years and never noticed that.

@George,
I believe the format of the Wild Card Round changed in 2021, going from
four games to six.
