Bills at Lions
David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports
The Lions are actually in the mix this year at 4-6 and having won three straight games. They are 10th in the NFC. If they lose and the Cardinals win on Sunday against the Chargers, they would pass them.
Giants at Cowboys
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports
Both the Giants and the Cowboys are currently wild card teams at 7-3. Whoever loses will be pushed back, although they won’t get pushed out of the top seven. It just makes things tighter for the battle for the final spot.
Patriots at Vikings
The Vikings are the No. 2 seed in the conference, one game back of the 9-1 Eagles. They have a chance to tie the Eagles if Philly loses this week.
