What is the playoff team of wild cards?
The
playoff team of wild cards is a team that is inserted into the postseason game of the sports league, even though it did not win its own division. In the NFL, which is divided into a national football conference and an American football conference, and then to the North, South, East and West divisions, two wild card teams are added at each conference. The winners of the division will get into the playoffs regardless of their record, while teams with the two best records between winners without a division qualify as a playoff team of wild cards. It is characterized by two teams of wild cards that play against two winners with the lowest deployed divisions. The winners of these two games then play the two best winners of the division in the division round. These two best teams have the advantage of having to win one less game to get to Super Bowl.
Major League Baseball uses a similar system, although there is only one team of playoffs of wild kart to go with three division winners in National LizE and the American league. In the first round of the playoffs, the playoff team plays the Wild Card winner with the best record if the teams are not in the same division, while the other two winners of the division play each other. The winners of these series face each other in the Championship league, The Precursor of the World Series.
NFL began to use the wild card system in 1970 and in the first 35 years the Super Bowl won only four wild card teams. Oakland Raiders from 1980 was the first team of playoffs of wild Kart to win a Super Bowl and defeated Philadelphia Eagles. Denver Broncos from 1997, 2000 Baltimore Ravens and 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers also won Super Bowl as a playoff team of wild cards.
The success of the wild card is multiplayer in baseball than in football, perhaps partly because wild card teams have no disadvantage that they will have to win one more game than the best teams, as in the NFL. Baseball started using a wild card in 1995 and the first playoff team of the wild card to win the WorldSeries, Florida Marlins 1997. From 2002 to 2004, there was even a section that saw the playoff team of Wild Card winning the World Series for three years and built two teams of wild cards, giants and angels.
The winners without a division are allowed to the playoffs in all four major American team sports, but it is not always referred to as a wild card. In the NBA and the NHL, only three division winners are considered at each conference and five of what would be considered as playoff teams of wild card, so the term “wild card” is not used.
