Lions at Giants (Noon EST FOX)

The Detroit Lions and New York Giants are like two stock cars that have gone around the track for so long and now running out of steam during the final laps. No playoff spots are on the line but the pecking order for the NFC Playoff will change from it. While both teams appear to be headed towards Wildcard weekend, the loser of the game will be in more danger of losing a playoff spot all together.

Patriots at Broncos (4:24 EST CBS)

New England can separate themselves from the rest of the pack for another week with a win in Denver. The Broncos will be playing to keep pace with the Chiefs and Raiders, meanwhile trying to fix their sluggish offense. While it may not be Brady vs Manning, you can be sure the Broncos defense won’t give Tom Brady a chance to get the win in Denver.

Buccaneers at Cowboys (Sunday Night Football 8:30 EST NBC)

In a game that was just flexed over the weekend, the Cowboys and Bucs will go at it on Sunday Night Football a week before Christmas. This is a fun matchup that could give the Cowboys home field advantage in the playoffs with a win. For Tampa Bay, to keep pace with Atlanta will needed their dynamic duo of Jameis Winston and Mike Evans to come up big in their first big primetime game.
