I use a power rule to grab all the 49ers games. It looks like this:

program.title LIKE '%NFL%'
AND program.subtitle LIKE '%49ers%'
AND program.category = 'Sports event'

If you just want to grab all the NFL playoff games, you could change the
second clause to: program.subtitle LIKE '%playoff%'. That wouldn't record
the Super Bowl, though (but mine does, when the 49ers are in it :-) ).
