NFL Playoff Schedule

Anticipating the brand new NFL playoff schedule ranks alongside Fantasy Football as a pastime – it's little more than a bit of harmless fun.

The NFL playoff schedule comes into play following the climax of the regular football season. Each sixteen team Conference will have crowned its four Divisional champions – East, West, North and South, and these champions will be joined by the two strongest runner ups in the Conference.

For example, following the 2010 NFL regular season - in the American Football Conference, the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs had won the East, North, South and West AFC Divisional titles respectively.

They would be joined in the AFC playoffs by AFC East runners up the New York Jets, and the AFC North runners up the Baltimore Ravens, both teams possessing records strong enough to have been crowned their divisional champions in other years. Thus, the AFC half of the 2011 NFL playoff schedule was in place.

In the National Football Conference, the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks won the four divisional crowns and were joined in the NFC playoffs by the Green Bay packers and New Orleans Saints, both teams having posted rock solid records. So close was the competition amongst the NFC's runners ups, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Giants were both eliminated despite having identical 10-6 records to the Packers.

These 12 sides made up the NFL playoff schedule for 2011. Each conference subsequently named its top seeded team – the AFC had little problem choosing the Patriots, who's 14-2 record had been the best in the NFL, and the NFC picked the Falcons, who's 13-3 record had only been bettered by New England. As always the top seeded teams had the luxury of sitting out the first round of playoff action.

The NFL is a compact, ultra exciting sports league – it lasts just six months, and its regular season spans just 256 games, far shorter in length and leaner in matchups than the NHL, NBA or Mayor League Baseball. Because of the sheer wear and tear on the players, a longer season with more games would be impossible. It is that pure excitement that the NFL generates I droves that makes it the no.1 event with both sports fans and fans of sports betting.

The NFL playoff schedule manages to up the ante even more – games become even more intense, upsets become bigger, losses more devastating as team after team leaves every last ounce of themselves on the field.

Because of this, the NFL is the online sportsbooks no.1 cash cow, but it is also an excellent opportunity for a sports bettor armed with the unbeatable picks, predictions and tips provided by ValueSportsPicks.com to make serious money from their NFL sports wagering throughout the football season.

NFL fans will recall that neither of the top seeds survived their very first games in the 2011 playoffs. The Super Bowl winner that year was the Green Bay Packers, a team that could easily have missed the playoffs altogether had they scored one less regular season touchdown and conceded one more field goal.

The NFL playoff schedule is part of American sporting folklore – when it's taking place, few other things matter to millions of American sports fans and sports bettors. Be sure that you maximize your sports betting returns during the next NFL playoff schedule by using ValueSportsPicks.com!
