As the Cowboys prepare for a crucial Thursday Night Football battle against the Lions, they could be without Jadeveon Clowney.

If the Detroit Lions win four of their final five games, will it be enough to get into the playoffs? We can’t know for sure, but the answer is likely yes.

Not only will the Lions need plenty of help to reach the playoffs, they can’t really afford more slip ups the rest of the way. That will be put to the test with the Lions hosting a Dallas Cowboys team (6-5-1) on Thursday that’s won three straight games and surged back into the playoff race.

In Week 14, Arizona hosts the Los Angeles Rams, who are coming off a stunning loss to the Carolina Panthers. One of the week's top games to watch features a pair of NFC North rivals when the Chicago Bears hit the road to face the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field.

The biggest favorites of Week 14 are the Seattle Seahawks (-7.5 at the Atlanta Falcons), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8.5 vs. the Saints), Denver Broncos (-7.5 at the Raiders) and Rams (-7.5 at the Arizona Cardinals).

The Lions are on the outside of the NFC playoff picture looking in entering Thanksgiving. Can they chance that while playing against the Packers?

The Arizona Cardinals were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

An absolutely massive Week 14 across the NFL kicked off on Thursday with a crucial NFC clash between the Lions and the Cowboys in Detroit. The Lions (7-5) currently occupy the No. 8 seed in the NFC, while the Cowboys (6-5-1) are right behind them at No.
