Conference tournament berths will be up for grabs NFL playoffs.

The postseason resumes Saturday with the pair Divisional Round Tournaments – one in the AFC and one in the NFC. And both matchups feature the No. 6-seed wild card team visiting No. 1 seed 1 from the first round.

The two-game slate begins in the Mile High City as the No. 1 welcome to No. 6 Buffalo rules. This is the second straight postseason meeting between Buffalo and Denver – the Bills outscored the Broncos 31-7 at home in last year’s Wild Card Round.

Josh Allen and the Bills are in the Divisional Round for the sixth straight year as they look to make back-to-back conference championship games. Allen had two separate go-ahead touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to lead the Bills past the No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in the Wild Card Round.

buffalo, in pursuit of its first ever Super Bowl titlenow visits a Broncos team that has lost just once at home this season and is powered by an elite defense. Denver led the league in sacks with 68 — 11 more than the next closest team — while ranking second in yards against and third in points against.

Sean Payton’s Broncos are looking for the franchise’s first win since its championship season in 2015.

The action then shifts to Seattle for an NFC West clash between No. 6 San Francisco 49ers and the No. 1 Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers were already injured and lost star tight end George Kittle to Achilles in the Wild Card Round, but has managed to upset the defending Super Bowl champion No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles 23-19. Brock Purdy returned a touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter before San Francisco’s defense came up with a game-tying stop.

San Francisco now faces Seattle for the second time in three weeks and the third time this season. While the 49ers beat the Seahawks on the road in Week 1, Seattle got revenge in Week 18 with a 13-3 win to clinch the division crown and the No. 1 seed. The Seahawks’ high-scoring defense limited the 49ers to 173 yards of total offense and held them to a combined 2-for-11 on third and fourth down.

But whether or not Sam Darnold will have any limitations is the biggest story going into the playoffs, and that’s assuming he’s the starter. The Seahawks quarterback is listed as questionable after appearing on the injury report this week with a groin injury.

Seattle is looking to make the conference title game for the first time since the 2014 season, while San Francisco is on the verge of its fourth appearance in five years.

Which two teams will advance to the Conference Championship on Sunday? And who will be sent home? Here’s how to watch Saturday’s Divisional Round games:
