Anyone Know the New NFL Playoff Format?

[pcmodem]

Yo,
Now that realignment has taken place and the AFC and NFC each have 4 divisions, does anyone know how the playoff format works? How many wild cards there are, who gets the by week, etc?

There are 4 divison winners and 2 wildcard teams in each conference.

The teams that get bye weeks are the two division winners with the best records.

what mpitts said.

basically it's almost same as before, except that one more division (winner) replaces one wild card slot. same 2 division winners with best records get bye-weeks per conference.

New Format:

NFC teams take turns going to Veteran's stadium to be beat down. Then some AFC team travels to San Diego for their beating.

They had better hope that McNabb comes back for the playoffs then.
