Throughout the conference play-offs, the higher seeded team is given home advantage. Meanwhile, the second seed hosts the seventh seed, the third seed hosts the sixth seed and the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed.Īfter the wild-card round, the teams from the AFC and NFC must negotiate two further play-off stages - the four-team divisional round and the two-team conference championships - before the winners of each conference go head to head in the Super Bowl.Īs in the wild-card round, the divisional round pits the highest seed against the lowest seed.
