The results of Week 13 have shaken up some playoff races, making the coming weeks really exciting to watch!

It all began on Thanksgiving, when the Cowboys defeated the Chiefs, and it has propelled Dallas back into the playoff race. With the Packers beating the Lions, Detroit moved down to third place in the NFC North. The Bengals move to 4-8 with a win over the Ravens, who are tied with the Steelers at 6-6, making the AFC North a tighter race.

The sole Friday matchup determined the NFC's top seed, and the Bears continued their success with a win over the Eagles. This victory, along with an eventual Rams loss, secured Chicago the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

On Sunday, the most significant shift came in the AFC South race. With the Jaguars beating the Titans and the Texans taking down the Colts, Jacksonville and Indianapolis are each 8-4, and Houston is 7-5.

The end of Week 14 saw a shift in the NFL MVP race. After being the favorite for two weeks, Matthew Stafford (+125) drops to second place after suffering an upset at the hands of the Panthers. After another incredible performance on Monday night against the Giants, Drake Maye (-135) is the new favorite for the MVP.

Week 14 Preview

With the playoffs looming, every game becomes important for the contenders. That starts on Thursday with the Cowboys and the Lions. Both teams are in contention for their division and wild card, so losses at this point could be detrimental to their playoff chances.

There are several matchups on Sunday with the same implications. It starts with the Ravens vs. Steelers, who are tied atop the AFC North. The Jaguars and Colts are tied in the AFC South as they meet in Duval County. Finally, the Bears head to Lambeau Field to try to maintain their dominance in the NFC North against the Packers.

The week ends on Monday with the Eagles traveling to the West Coast to face the Chargers, as both try to hold onto their playoff positions.
