Playoffs

=Playoffs =

After the season is completed the top six teams from each conference advance to a four round tournament to determine the teams who play in the Super Bowl. These twelve teams consist of the eight teams with the best win to loss ratio in their division as well as four wild card teams who had the second best win to loss records. Once the two teams emerge they are then set to play in the biggest game in football, the Super Bowl. This is a one game winner takes all match held in an unbiased professional stadium with a warm climate.

The next Super Bowl will be held February 7, 2010 in Miami, Florida. This game will match the AFC champions, Indianapolis Colts, versus the NFC champions the New Orleans Saints. Both teams had a first round bye and should be a very tight match of heavy offence with strong defence. Peyton Manning has already led the Colts to one Super Bowl and is looking to do it again this year. This will be the Saints first trip to the Super Bowl in their very short run in the NFL. The game is usually celebrated by millions across North America and this year the half time show will be played by English rock band, The Who. Below is a table showing the 2010 playoff race and their regular season records.
