WE are now at the business end of the NFL regular season and the world’s best continue to battle for a spot at Super Bowl LIX.

And the NFL giants have been tipped to reclaim their crown once again as they currently lead the standings in AFC West and their conference.
On the NFC side of the NFL, the Detroit Lions have earned themselves an 14-2 record, as Dan Campbell’s transformation of the team continues at pace and they look for a Wildcard Week bye.
Expect twists and turns before we find out which two teams will battle it out on the grand stage in New Orleans in February.
And we have put together a playoff picture to give NFL fans a taste of what to expect when teams either go hard or go home, starting January 11 with wildcard weekend.
