Bills (9-6)Josh Allen has a chance to be the division leader if he maintains victories and has an advantage over the Patriots in division victories.

Rams (11-4): In their division, they spent a lot of time under the Cardinals, but with a season finale worthy of the NFL playoffsThey’ve already surpassed them and secured their postseason spot. They can also beat Packers, that’s the goal.
Bucaneers (11-4): Tom Brady wants to make Tampa Bay celebrate another Super Bowl, he already has his place in the NFL playoffs and waters with the GOAT because surely no one will want to see him in this type of match, either away or home.
Cardinals (10-5): At the beginning of the season it seemed that no one could stop him, but the losses of JJ Watt and DeAndre Hopkins throughout the campaign have affected him too much and they have lowered their performance, fortunately they have already secured their place in the NFL playoffs.
