How to make a Super Bowl Bracket
Step1
Select an appropriate master board on which you can create your NFL playoff bracket. A white dry-erase board is ideal for simple brackets that only update scores for your office or home. If you plan on making brackets in the future, a magnetic board with magnets indicating every NFL team may be a good investment.
Step2
Print a copy of the initial set of brackets for your colleagues and friends to use before the first playoff game starts. These brackets will help people keep track of bets or stay on top of upcoming match-ups, helping them stay conversant.
Step3
Place the four division winners in each conference in their appropriate spots in the playoff brackets. The top two teams in each conference get a first-round by and should be placed in the second round. The rest of the division winners are host teams in the initial weekend of the playoffs.
Step4
Insert the two wild card teams in each conference as you create your brackets. Wild card teams are the best teams in the NFC and AFC who were not in the division lead at the end of the season. These teams will go against the bottom two division leaders in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs.
Step5
Update your brackets as soon as each game is completed to keep your friends informed. You will need to wait until all games are completed to move teams to the next round. The top teams in each round are hosts for the teams with the worst records, no matter what each team was seeded in the previous round.
Step6
Attach injury reports and game summaries from the past week to your master bracket board to provide maximum information. You should include Vegas odds, weather conditions and other information as demanded by people in your office or circle of friends.
