The National Football League (NFL) is one of the biggest and best pro sports contests in North America every season. Also known as gridiron or simply American Football, the gruelling game attracts the toughest athletes, most devoted fans and some awesome NFL betting opportunities.
Founded in 1920, the NFL was renamed in 1922 after originally being known as the American Professional Football Conference. The merge with the American Football League (AFL) – not to be confused with the Australian Football League – announced in 1966 before the NRL merger officially occurred in 1970, the same year the first Super Bowl was staged.
2023/24 NFL Season: Week 13 Preview
The 2023/24 NFL season moves into Week 13 from Friday (Aust. time) with the red hot Dallas Cowboys hosting the reeling Seahawks in a big game for both in terms of their playoff standings in the week’s opener.
With six teams on a bye in Week 13, it is a relatively light schedule of games in terms of quantity but the quality of these matchups should more than make up for that.
The Cowboys v Seahawks clash is just the entrée to Monday morning’s blockbuster battle between Philadelphia and San Francisco in what could very well be a preview of the NFC Championship in a few weeks’ time.
The Eagles could also become the first team to clinch a playoff spot with a win and one or two other results going their way.
