    We play the team with the best record in round two after a bye.

    Looks like Phily, Atlanta, Arizona, Minn.

    Atlanta at Arizona
    Philly at Minnesota in round one (I think)

    Atlanta beats Arizona
    Philly at Minny

    Is Atlanta the team we face in round two since they should have best record of remaining teams?

    I heard it is the remaining team with the best record that face the #2 seed.

    The #1 seed (NY) gets the team with the worst record as a reward for being #1 seed.

    Which is it?

    its seeding order, not record, EDIT: I think.
    So if ATL wins we play them if Philly wins.

    We play highest remaining team in this order:
    Vikes
    Cards
    Falcons
    Eagles

    ....just saw this on the Mia/NYJ game, NFC is set. Carolina plays the winner of the Minn/Phil. game. See you in Charlotte.

    "The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor."

    ....What I saw was that the NFC was "set". I always thought that the #1 seed, would play the lowest seeded winner in the "wild card" round.
    So if Philly beats Minn., wouldn't the Panthers play the Ariz/Atl. winner?

    Yeah, it used to be a fixed bracket, but a couple of years ago I believe they changed it to reshuffle after the wild card round.

    NFL says the #2 seed will play the highest remaining seed in the divisional round.
    So if Atlanta wins, we play them
