(7) Steelers at (2) Chiefs: Chiefs Win. Steelers advancing to next round would not be Cinderella, it would just be sad.
NFC
(7) Eagles at (2) Buccaneers: Buccaneers Win. For whatever reason the NFL seems to think people want to watch Tom Brady play football. We should all boycott watching this game to send a message.
(6) 49ers at (3) Cowboys: Cowboys Win. This one was the most difficult, both teams have great markets and plenty of fans. Cowboys are more star-studded though. Bucs/Cowboys will be a ratings bonanza.
(5) Cardinals at (4) Rams: Rams Win. Take this one to the bank. There's only one L.A. team in the tournament and they will be propped up in whatever way is necessary. The only reason they might not win it all is that sooner or later they have to play Tom Brady.
DIVISIONAL ROUND:
AFC
(4) Bengals @ (1) Titans
(3) Bills @ (2) Chiefs
NFC
(4) Rams @ (1) Packers
(3) Cowboys @ (2) Buccaneers

I was pretty close so far. The NFL tried to hand it to the Cowboys with that ridiculous overturn of the spot on what should have been a game-ending first down for the 49ers. Cowboys wouldn't take it though. If the Rams win tonight, I think it's safe to say I've decoded the NFL's playoff agenda.
