In our Week 14 NFL picks, we see a split on Thursday Night Football and a clean sweep in the other primetime matchups.

After three-quarters of the regular season, we still have no idea who is the strong favorite to reach the Super Bowl out of either conference. It appeared the New England Patriots were the sure thing, only to see Rob Gronkowski lost for the season.

In the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys are 11-1 but some would be hard-pressed to pick them in a playoff game over the hard-charging Seattle Seahawks, who have the look of a champion. We will see a few of the top contenders in primetime this week, starting with the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs squaring off on Thursday Night Football. The winner will have sole possession of the grueling AFC West. The loser will be staring at a wild card spot.

Without question, the playoff picture will be much clearer come Tuesday, when the dust has settled on the best week of games yet.

Here how are panelists picked the Week 14 games, along with their records:
