The NFL playoffs are here! With all due respect to Christmas, it's the most wonderful time of the year. And what better way to celebrate than by projecting out the full playoff field through the Super Bowl,

The Chiefs may be inevitable, but the Lions are a monster, Vikings are chaos and Steelers, uh, would like you to forget about December

In many ways, the start of the NFL playoffs is similar to the first week of the regular season. There's a feeling of newness in the air, along with the optimism from fan bases that this might be the year when something special takes place.

The Chiefs and Lions have next weekend off, but these 12 NFL wild-card teams will be fighting to keep their Super Bowl dreams alive.

The race to Super Bowl LIX is down to just 14 teams now that the playoff field is set. Seven teams from the AFC and seven from the NFC will battle it out to be the last one standing in New Orleans on Feb.

NFL dynasties like the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs have made it seem like longshots never win a Super Bowl. But while there are plenty of Super Bowls won by favorites, there have been plenty of times when Super Bowl longshots have shocked the football world and made unprecedented runs that have made the bookmakers look foolish.
