March Madness is still over a month away, but that doesn't mean the NFL won't try to get in on some bracket madness themselves.

The wild-card weekend slate features six games and 12 teams, all hoping to survive and advance to the divisional-round. Unfortunately for six teams, they will be voted off the island and sent to the offseason. The remaining six will join the two No. 1 seeds, the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions, next weekend as part of their continued quest for a Super Bowl.

Last year's postseason didn't feature many bracket busters in the opening round. Will that remain the case this season?

Favorites have dominated in 2024, but this is a new year and anything can happen. Here's everything to know about the 2025 NFL playoff bracket as the wild-card results trickle in.

How does the NFL playoff bracket work?

The NFL playoff bracket is ever-changing and differs from the static formats common in other leagues. That means that seedings play a big role in future matchups. The No. 1 seeded Chiefs and Lions will face off against the worst team, based on seeding, remaining in their conference in the divisional-round.

Kansas City and Detroit will also hold home-field advantage throughout their side of the bracket provided they remain in the playoffs. If either team loses, the best remaining team, based on seeding, would then gain home-field advantage.

Since the NFL's bracket is dynamic, that ensures that regular season results matter in terms of matchups for the postseason.
