2023 NFL playoff bracket and predictions: Who is going to win Super Bowl 57?

The Eagles and Chiefs have easiest paths to Super Bowl 57. Will chalk rule? Or will underdogs like the Cowboys and Jaguars crash the party?

The 2022 NFL regular season is over. The 2023 NFL Playoffs are upon us.

The second full weekend of January will drop three days of postseason action on the world — two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and what could be Tom Brady’s final game on Monday night. Twelve teams will begin their journey to Super Bowl 57 in the Wild Card round.

The prize is a trip to Glendale, Arizona for a week of media availability and a place in the biggest football game in the world. Can comets like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers continue to streak across the NFL’s sky? Will the apparent flaws of teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants prove fatal?

We’ll get our answers starting January 14. Here’s the schedule for the Wild Card round:

SATURDAY

4:30 EST: Seahawks @ 49ers (FOX)
8:15 EST: Chargers @ Jaguars (NBC)

SUNDAY

1:00 EST: Dolphins @ Bills (CBS)
4:30 EST: Giants @ Vikings (FOX)
8:15 EST: Ravens @ Bengals (NBC)

MONDAY

8:15 EST: Cowboys @ Buccaneers (ESPN/ABC)

After that, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles jump into the mix with the easiest paths to the Super Bowl in their respective conferences. Who’ll win it all? Here’s my mildly educated stab at a prediction.

What would the 2022 NFL Playoffs look like if they started after Week 9?

Where the AFC and NFC playoff fields stand at the halfway mark of the 2022 NFL season.

Some pieces of the 2022 NFL regular season have gone as planned. The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs are all in position to reclaim their thrones as division champions in the AFC. Major offseason trades have helped the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins rise to contender status.

Other pieces have not. Neither the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers or defending champion Los Angeles Rams have winning records at the season’s halfway mark. The Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants, each assumed to be in the midst of rebuilds, currently occupy playoff spots.

After nine weeks, half the projected postseason field is made up of teams that went home after Week 18 in 2021. So if the season ended today, what would this winter’s playoffs look like?
