Three teams have made the NFL playoffs with losing records, two in 1982 when the schedule was only 9 games. The Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns were 4-5 that year; both were the eighth seed in their conference.
The first non-strike team to make the playoffs with a losing record is the 2010 Seattle Seahawks, who were 7-9. Despite being the butt of jokes and being pitted against the defending Super Bowl champions in the first round of the playoffs, they had home field advantage due to winning their division and beat the Saints 41-36 in one of the biggest upsets in NFL playoff history.

With the addition of the Ottawa Redblacks in 2014, 3 teams will not make the playoffs in 2014.

The first round of the playoffs, known as the American and National League Divisional Series' or ALDS/NLDS are a best of 5 format. The first team to win 3 games, advances to the next round which is the American and National League Championship Series or ALCS/NLCS. This series is a best of 7 format (first team to win 4 games) advances to the World Series which ALSO is a best of 7 format.
There are many differnet ways to score. One way to do it is give one point for ever correctly picked match-up. Then another point, or a couple points, for a correct final four, then an extra couple for predicting the correct finals. And as a tie breaker, you can do one of three things. You can have each person pick the total amount of points scored in the championship, or choose the individual scores for each team, or the difference in score between the two schools.
