NFL Playoff Schedule, Updated Super Bowl 55 Odds: Tom Brady, Buccaneers Look To Make History
The NFL Playoff Schedule is set! It took every game of the entire NFL regular season to determine exactly which teams are in the postseason and the matchups, but finally, we are ready to go.
NFL Playoff Schedule
Next weekend is an NFL fan’s dream come true. Wild Card weekend will feature a triple-header on both Saturday and Sunday.
All of the action gets underway on Saturday, Jan. 9 at 1 p.m. ET when the Indianapolis Colts take on the Buffalo Bills. This game may be one of the more underrated first round matchups.
Both of these teams have had great seasons and to see one of them eliminated so quickly will be a shame.
Following the Colts-Bills will be the Rams at the Seahawks with the final game on Saturday featuring the Buccaneers taking on Washington.
One of the more intriguing matchups will take place on Sunday when the Steelers host the Browns. These two just played less than 24-hours ago. While the game was meaningless to Pittsburgh, the Browns needed to win yesterday’s game to make it into the big dance. The Brownies snuck out a 24-22 victory and now these two will square off for the third time this season.

Super Bowl Odds
Let the games begin! 14 teams will now battle it out to have a chance to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy this February.
The Chiefs are the defending champions and are favored to win Super Bowl 55. While Kansas City is stacked, it won’t be an easy road in the AFC.
In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers are the No. 1 seed. The Packers are the Vegas favorite to represent the NFC.
How about Tampa Bay? Don’t sleep on Brady and the Bucs! This team is loaded. While star WR Mike Evans did injure his knee in Sunday’s win vs Atlanta, tests have come back negative in terms of structural damage.
That’s great news for Tampa fans.
With the likes of Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, and Scottie Miller, Brady and the boys should be moving on to round two.
Another reason to like Tampa – the odds! Listed at +1200, that is a nice kickback for a team as deep as the Buccaneers.
And oh by the way, did I forget to mention that this year’s Super Bowl is being played in Tampa?
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers could make history by becoming the first team to ever play at their home stadium in a Super Bowl. It will be a tough road for TB 12, but I have learned to never bet against the former Michigan star, especially in the postseason.
