With the NFL playoffs around the corner, all eyes are on Levi's Stadium, the home of Super Bowl 60. 

Super Wild-Card Weekend starts on Saturday, Jan. 10, and continues through Monday, Jan. 12. Only the No. 1 seeds in each conference have a bye into the Divisional Round.

Here's the full playoff schedule and everything you need to know about Monday Night Football in Week 18.
