Six matches will see the three teams from each conference win their way through to take their place in the Divisional Round next week along with the two top seeds from each conference, the Philadelphia Eagles (NFC) and Kansas City Chiefs (AFC).
We will be bringing you our preview and tips for those six games later this week, to give us a bit more chance to see the latest team news for each of the teams playing and whether key players, such as Miami Dolphins pair Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, will play, or whether they will be ruled out.
Bet365 Sport will of course be bringing you full betting coverage of every Playoff game this season, as well as the Super Bowl and we will bring you their latest odds in that post on Friday.

And Now Some Awards For The Plays We Didn’t Like This Season…
Worst Call of the Season
Winner – Roughing the Passer call on Tom Brady (tackle by Grady Jarrett)
Grady Jarrett’s perfect tackle on Tom Brady was textbook, yet Jerome Boger somehow saw it as roughing the passer. It wasn’t just the worst call of the season, it was the worst call I’ve ever seen in the NFL.
Worse still, it had a huge impact on the game and allowed the Buccaneers to go on to victory, when had it stood, the Falcons may well have won and qualified for the playoffs instead.
Stupidest Offensive Co-ordinator Call
Winner – Todd Downing (Titans) – TE Sweep call on 3rd and 1 against the Giants
With the most powerful running back in the backfield in Derrick Henry and the Titans needing a yard in midfield in the 4th quarter against the Giants, leading 20-13. A first down here would have likely sealed the game. Instead of handing off to Henry, Downing called a TE sweep, which was stuffed in the backfield. The Giants got the ball back, drove upfield, scored a TD and then went for two, landing it to snatch the win.
