The NFL playoffs enter a chaotic Divisional Round after a record number of Wildcard upsets. Top seeds Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks earned byes, but face tough challenges from Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers respectively. Oddsmakers slightly favor Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams for Super Bowl 60.

Wildcard chaos reshaped the playoff picture. Teams with double-digit losses advanced, exposing flaws in higher seeds. Buffalo’s Josh Allen gets a rare shot against Denver’s dominant defense, which led the league with 68 sacks. New England's rookie QB Drake Maye also faces a stiff test versus Houston's stingy pass rush.

In the NFC, Rams vs. Bears in Chicago could set up an all-NFC West title game. If Seattle tops San Francisco, the Seahawks would host the conference final amid deafening support from the '12s.' Injuries and divisional familiarity make predictions volatile. Each game is a virtual coin toss.

Weather, turnovers, and home-field noise will likely determine who advances. With no clear favorite, expect more surprises in what’s already been a wildly unpredictable postseason race.
