admin

The NFL regular season is nearing its conclusion, and the top players in the world are still vying for a berth in Super Bowl LIX.

Superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl victory in 2024, something that hadn’t been done in 20 years, with Tom Brady’s New England Patriots being the last team to do it.

And since the NFL Giants are now at the top of both their conference and the AFC West standings, they are predicted to win the championship again.

The Detroit Lions, who are aiming for a Wildcard Week bye, have earned a 12-1 record on the NFC side of the NFL as Dan Campbell continues to improve the squad.

Before we learn which two teams will compete on the grand stage in New Orleans in February, expect surprises.

To give NFL fans an idea of what to anticipate when teams either go hard or go home, we have created a playoff image. Wildcard weekend begins on January 11.
