While it's too soon to know which two teams will square off in February, here's a quick guide to what we know about Super Bowl 59.

It's difficult to imagine the conference champion not being one of the top three seeds, but as we know, in the NFL, anything can happen.

The four NFC and four AFC division champions and six wild-card teams - the three non-division winners with the best records in each conference - will compete in a single elimination tournament. The final four will play in the AFC and NFC championship games on Jan.

Now that the NFL's regular season has ended, for most football fans, the next big event on their radar is Super Bowl 59.

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.
