Playoffs?!?!

🏈 After a wild finish to the first 17-game regular season in history, the NFL playoffs start tomorrow at 4:30 ET. Let’s get you up to speed:

• It’s the second year of the league’s playoff expansion, with seven teams now representing each conference instead of six.
• This year also promises the first three-day playoff weekend in league history, with the Rams facing the Cardinals on Monday night. Here’s the full schedule.
• Two playoff teams will be absent from this weekend’s slate of games – the Packers and Titans, who each received first-round byes as the No. 1 seed.
• According to Vegas, the most lopsided matchup of the weekend features the Chiefs (-12.5) against the Steelers in what could be QB Ben Roethlisburger’s final game, while the closest is projected to be the Cowboys (-3) vs. the 49ers.

+While we're here: After a successful debut last year, CBS will once again air an NFL wild card game on Nickelodeon Sunday afternoon. Here's what to expect.

+Fun fact: NFL games accounted for 91 of the top 100 telecasts on TV last year.
