NFL Playoffs 2016: Wild Card Schedule, Super Bowl Odds and Postseason Picture

The NFL playoff picture came down to the final game of the regular season, as the Minnesota Vikings took down the Green Bay Packers, 20-13, to wrap up the NFC North crown.

The victory gave Minnesota a home game against the Seattle Seahawks on Wild Card Weekend, while Green Bay will pack its bags for a road game at Washington.

Over in the AFC, all six seeds and matchups were set after the late games, as the Denver Broncos earned the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout with a thrilling, Week 17 victory over the San Diego Chargers.

Before we dig a little deeper into the games, let's take a look at the playoff brackets, per SNF on NBC, and Super Bowl 50 odds, per Odds Shark:

Super Bowl 50 Odds

Green Bay Packers	+1600
Cincinnati Bengals	+2000
Minnesota Vikings	+2800
Washington Redskins	+5000
Houston Texans	+6600

The Road to Super Bowl 50

The Kansas City Chiefs are the hottest team heading into the playoffs having won their past 10 games to finish 11-5 on the season. Maybe they have some karma on their side, per NFL on ESPN:

Other teams are hot as well, including the Houston Texans who have won seven of their last nine games, the Arizona Cardinals, who had won nine in a row before a Week 17 loss, the Seahawks, winners of six of their past seven and, of course, the Carolina Panthers who lost only one game all year—although it did just come in Week 16.

The Washington Redskins, who have mostly been forgotten in the down NFC East, come in having won four in a row and could sneak up on a team as they host a game on Wild Card Weekend.

On the other end of the spectrum are the AFC's top two teams. The New England Patriots are backing into the playoffs with four losses in their final six games. However, they have been dealing with injuries perhaps worse than any team in the NFL; a first-round bye is going to do them some good.

Although the Broncos clinched the No. 1 seed, they certainly don't look like the AFC's most dominant team. They actually tied the No. 3 Cincinnati Bengals with a 12-4 record and won just one more game than the No. 5 Chiefs.

Head coach Gary Kubiak will have two weeks to decide if he will start Peyton Manning, who came in for the injured Brock Osweiler in Week 17 and engineered a come-from-behind victory against the San Diego Chargers.

Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post said Manning may not be up for a long playoff run at this point in his career:

This season has certainly been one that consists of parody, and while a few teams stand out with gaudy records, it means nothing when the playoffs begin.

As the regular season has come to an end, we now have at least a clear picture of who will be fighting for the coveted Super Bowl 50 championship.

Good luck predicting who will win.
