It’s the time of year following Thanksgiving, and Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season feels a bit quiet with six teams on bye – the last break they’ll have until the regular season wraps up.

Hot off their Thanksgiving victories, the Detroit Lions are set to clash with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in Detroit. The Lions aim to inch closer to clinching a playoff spot, which they can secure with either a win or tie, although they cannot win the NFC North title this week. A victory for the Packers would mean a split in their season match-ups, bringing them closer in the divisional race and allowing the Philadelphia Eagles a chance to take the top overall spot in the NFC.

The other 12 matches might not appear as thrilling at first glance, but surprises can happen – like the unexpected shootout on Monday night in Denver. For instance, Kirk Cousins returns to his former home as the Minnesota Vikings host the struggling Atlanta Falcons, who currently lead the NFC South.

In addition, the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals face off for the second time in three weeks with the NFC West title still up for grabs. The Los Angeles Rams will also be part of this race, needing to slow down a hot Buffalo Bills team. Sunday night will see the Kansas City Chiefs aiming to match the Bills as division champions by taking on the Los Angeles Chargers.
