With the new conference arrangements, how many teams will go to the NFL playoff? 2 per division make it 16 teams? or 4 + 8 with wildcard games?

I can't find anything on nfl.com, thanks

OK, there are six teams from each conference.

Four of the six are the division winners. The wild cards are the two remaining teams with the best records.

The top two teams get a bye week, and the other four play each other.

The top two teams then play the two winners, and so on.
