The Baltimore Ravens are the top seed in the AFC Conference, had the NFL’s best record in the regular season (13-4) and quarterback Lamar Jackson, 27, looks set to win the MVP award for a second time.

But despite Baltimore’s commanding wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins in December, the 49ers have been favourites to win Super Bowl 58 since late November because of their star-studded roster, which secured the NFC’s top seed.

The Buffalo Bills won their last five games to snatch the AFC East division title from Miami while the Dallas Cowboys were one of three teams with a 12-5 record and have won their last 16 home games.

The Kansas City Chiefs have the opportunity to cement their dynasty with a third NFL title in five years and, despite limping into the post-season with five defeats from their last six, the Philadelphia Eagles are still among the favourites to reach Vegas.
