FAQ

Can I change my predictions after making them?

Yes, the Playoff Bracket Maker is designed to be interactive and flexible. You can typically click on a different team in any matchup to change your prediction, and the bracket will automatically update the subsequent rounds accordingly. This allows you to adjust your picks as the playoffs progress or simply change your mind.

Will my bracket automatically save?

The Playoff Bracket Maker is primarily a browser-based tool. While it may use your browser's local storage to temporarily save your progress during a single session, it does not typically offer automatic cloud saving or account-based saving. For long-term access and sharing, it is recommended to use the share feature to generate a unique link to your bracket or take a screenshot.

How does seeding work in the playoffs?

The bracket maker follows the official NFL playoff seeding format. In each conference (AFC and NFC), the top four division winners are seeded 1 through 4 based on their regular season records, with the #1 seed receiving a bye in the Wild Card round. The three Wild Card teams (the next best non-division winners) are seeded 5, 6, and 7. The bracket is then structured so the highest remaining seed faces the lowest remaining seed in each subsequent round, with the #1 seed having the most favorable path.
