Now that the conferences are expanded into 4 divisions, I forget how the playoffs work again. Is it Division winner and 2 wild cards from each conference, so two divisions winners play 2 wild cards in the wild card games?

1. 4 division winners, 2 wild cards.

Two teams get a BYE in the first round. The other 4 play in the wild card round.

2. I think it's the 4 division winners + 2 wild card spots

For a total of 6 teams from each conference...2 teams have the first week off and two division winners play a WC. Winners of the WC games play the two top Division teams. Winners of that advance to the championship, then SB.
