Happy 2020! A new year is upon us which means everyone you know is focused on three things: fitness, finances, and football.

If you've already skipped the gym more times than you've gone and blown your monthly budget on post-holiday sales, it's not too late to brush up on your sports knowledge.

Whether you hold a fantasy football champion title or you can't tell a touchdown from a field goal, the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl can be pretty confusing. Here's everything you need to know about the NFL Playoffs.

Each year, 12 teams qualify for the NFL playoffs and compete for a chance to play in the NFL Championship (aka the Super Bowl). There are six teams from each conference—the American Football Conference and National Football Conference—and the Super Bowl will pit the winner of the AFC against the champion of the NFC in February.

There are three rounds in the NFL playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl: the Wild Card round, the Divisional round, and the Conference Championship round. The first round features 12 teams, the second round features eight teams, and the third round features four teams. The two winning teams from the third playoff round go on play in the NFL Championship.
