We know that we'll see two rematches of regular-season games -- 49ers-Packers and Bills-Chiefs -- as well as a matchup between the Bengals and Titans. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, will face the winner of Monday night's game. They lost to the Rams in Week 3 of the regular season but did not play the Cardinals this season.

We'll update this story Monday night when we have the full schedule. In the meantime, let's dive in on what we know.

We will explore how each team can win next week, identify the biggest things to watch for in each game, name an X factor who could impact the outcomes, and update each franchise's chances to reach -- and win -- Super Bowl LVI.
