NFL playoff predictions

The Dallas Cowboys were done in by their defense last season, as the unit allowed a franchise-worst 511 points. But the Cowboys have overhauled their stop unit, replacing over 46% of defensive snaps from last year. 

Dallas selected both safety Caleb Downs and linebacker Malachi Lawrence high in the 2026 NFL Draft, and picked up edge rusher Rashan Gary in free agency.

With Dak Prescott still having both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to throw to, the Cowboys have the firepower to contend with the best offenses in the league.

Pick: Cowboys to make the playoffs (55% at Kalshi)

Pick made on 9-8.

NFL playoffs format

The NFL playoffs expanded prior to the 2020 season and will run the same format in 2026-27, with 14 teams in the postseason — seven from each conference.

In each conference, the division winners will comprise the Nos. 1-4 spots, while the Nos. 5-7 spots will come via wild cards. The top seed in both the AFC and the NFC will get a first-round bye, with the other matchups proceeding as follows:

  • No. 2 seed vs. No. 7 seed (lowest-ranked wild card)
  • No. 3 seed vs. No. 6 seed
  • No. 4 seed (lowest-ranked division winner) vs. No. 5 seed (highest-ranked wild card)

After the first round, the No. 1 seed will face the lowest remaining seed in their conference, while the other two teams will square off. Those winners will meet in the conference championship, and then the winners of those games — the AFC and NFC champions — will meet at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Feb. 14, 2027.
