The Dallas Cowboys are one of the hottest teams in the NFL and now they head to Detroit to take on a struggling Lions squad. While the Lions are a solid team, Dallas is on a heater and will not be denied as the Lions secondary is facing injury. Staying in the NFC North, the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears and it is a big chance for the Bears to prove they are a legitimate contender with a big road, divisional win. In the AFC, the Cincinnati Bengals are trying to get back into the playoff race with the return of Joe Burrow, but without the return of Trey Hendrickson, they won't be able to take down the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals only hope though is that they can win the AFC North and this weekend the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers face off. Neither team is having the season that they hoped at this point. The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans are both on the outside of the AFC playoff picture and whoever loses this matchup can pronounce their season dead. Staying in the AFC South, the surging Jacksonville Jaguars are set up perfect to continue their heist of the division and shutdown the Indianapolis Colts rushing offense.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.

Playoff chaos shakes up the NFL as the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots surge to the top of their conferences, fueled by breakout stars like Drake Maye. Tony Wiggins and David Harrison break down why no one wants to face the Buffalo Bills or Dallas Cowboys heading into the postseason, while also asking if the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos, or Seattle Seahawks are true threats or just pretenders. Can Sean McVay’s Rams overcome adversity and prove their edge? Is Bo Nix clutch enough to take Denver on a deep playoff run?The conversation spotlights coaching changes impacting teams from Mike Vrabel’s Patriots renaissance to questions about Brian Daboll and the Giants. With major upsets, defensive standouts including Quinn Williams, and the emergence of players like Jacoby Myers in Jacksonville, the episode debates which teams will thrive when the pressure mounts. Will Jacksonville unlock its offensive firepower and become the ultimate dark horse? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.

The NFL Players Squad Show has players with experience on the gridiron giving their takes on the hottest news in the league every week. Who will come out on top in the weak AFC North? Bo Nix hopes to lead the Broncos to a deep playoff run, and Drake Maye could already be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

The Chicago Bears are far from favorites to reach the Super Bowl in 2025, but they have a formula that can work and if they get the top seed in the NFC, they can play their style all the way to February. The Kansas City Chiefs are also not favorites, but it is fair to say they still have what it takes to make a deep run if things break right. Teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are even longer shots to make the big game, but as they get healthy, both teams have a real shot to take a ride all the way to the final game. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers are even further down the list of potential Super Bowl odds, but one of them is a real contender and one is just a fun story. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.

The Dallas Cowboys are on a roll, and combined with the Philadelphia Eagles struggles, have gotten themselves back into the NFC playoff race, but the Cowboys still are climbing up a tough hill. Staying in Texas, the Houston Texans are on fire as well and have put themselves back in the AFC race, but to keep their hopes alive they will have to face the Kansas City Chiefs, who are also desperate. Speaking of the Chiefs, they have made it to must-win territory and a loss to the Texans this week basically ends their playoff hopes. The Pittsburgh Steelers are also in crisis as their season has started to unravel, but they certainly aren't alone as the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions are also floundering. Finally, the New England Patriots kept their great year going against the New York Giants in a game everyone expected them to win, but the Patriots haven't proven enough to earn playoff optimism right now. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.

There was a major shakeup in the NFC in Week 13 as the Los Angeles Rams were upset by the Carolina Panthers and gave the conference's top seed away to the Chicago Bears after the Bears upset the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday. However, the Rams are still a more trustworthy team than the Bears down the stretch. In the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars took the division lead with a stomping of the Tennessee Titans as the Indianapolis Colts potential collapse becomes more real as they lose at home to the Houston Texans and Daniel Jones battles through a broken leg. Finally, the Buffalo Bills continued to keep themselves alive in the AFC wild card race with a big win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, who continue to go the wrong way with an injured Aaron Rodgers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.
