What is the Super Bowl?

In June 1966, two major leagues decided to merge and form one national football league, the NFL.

This new league was divided into two conferences and the championship game between these 2 conferences (The AFC and the NFC) winners would decide the league's overall championship.

The name Super Bowl comes from the college football, college football had used the word bowl to describe its annual championship games.

On the 15th of January 1967, the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs (Green Bay won 35-10) went head to head (in LA) in what is known as the Super Bowl ; this name was first used officially in 1970 for Super Bowl IV.

The NFl has been exceptionally good at providing entertainment with famous bands and artists like Michael Jackson,Prince,Bruno Mars, and most recently The Weekend.

NFL playoffs

Seven teams from each of the league's two conferences qualify for the playoffs. A tie-breaking procedure exists if required. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl: the league's championship game in which two teams, one from each conference, play each other to become champion of the NFL.

What is the NFL draft?

The National Football League Draft, also called the NFL Draft or (officially) the Player Selection Meeting, is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment.

How is the pick order determined?

The all-important draft order is determined at the end of the season when the win percentages of all 32 teams are ranked from best to worst. The team with the worst win percentage is given the first pick in the draft while the newly minted Super Bowl champions are given the No. 32 pick.

How do teams know who to choose?

Throughout the year the team is aware of how the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) players are performing and from there they look at their own team to see what areas need to be improved.

This year has been one of the most chaotic and unpredictable seasons that we've had. Why you might ask, well this is due to many factors.

One of them being the current standings and predictions for the Playoffs because if you showed this playoff picture to someone last year they might have called you delusional.

As it stands the, In the AFC Division, the Bills have the number one seed followed by the Chiefs, Ravens, Titans, Jets, Dolphins,and finally the chargers in the 7th seed

Meanwhile, in the NFC division the Eagles hold the number one seed followed by the Vikings, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Giants and 49 ers.
