Predicting every game of the 2021 NFL Playoffs

Seeding for 2021 NFL Playoffs

Following Sunday’s action, here is the final seeding for the 2021 NFL Playoffs.

AFC
No. 1 seed: Kansas City Chiefs (first-round bye and home-field advantage)
No. 2 seed: Buffalo Bills
No. 3 seed: Pittsburgh Steelers
No. 4 seed: Tennessee Titans
No. 5 seed: Baltimore Ravens
No. 6 seed: Cleveland Browns
No. 7 seed: Indianapolis Colts

NFC
No. 1 seed: Green Bay Packers (first-round bye and home-field advantage)
No. 2 seed: New Orleans Saints
No. 3 seed: Seattle Seahawks
No. 4 seed: Washington Football Team
No. 5 seed: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No. 6 seed: Los Angeles Rams
No. 7 seed: Chicago Bears

What a year it has been. As if 2020 didn’t throw us enough curveballs, we now have to figure out how this whole 14-team playoff field works.

As per usual, we’ve got a handful of teams everyone figured to be postseason bound back in September. The reigning champion Chiefs return to the playoffs, and the Packers and Saints took control of the NFC as expected. We’ll also see Tom Brady and the Buccaneers take a shot at the Super Bowl. Plus, the Ravens and the reigning MVP get a shot at redemption.

As crazy as the NFC East was this season, it’s a surprise to see the 6-10 Giants headed to the postseason. I also didn’t expect the Seahawks to earn the No. 3 seed, but here we are. Also, kudos to the Browns for finally ending the playoff drought.

Regardless of what went down over the last 17 weeks, these 14 teams are all that remain. If the regular season was any indicator, we should buckle in and prepare for madness in the coming weeks leading up to Super Bowl 55.
