The NFC is wide open after the Dallas Cowboys steamrolled the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles squeaked out a win last week.
For Week 12, the Vikings (8-2) host the New England Patriots (6-4) in one of three Thanksgiving games. The other two feature the Cowboys (7-3) hosting the New York Giants (7-3) and the Detroit Lions (4-5) hosting the Buffalo Bills (7-3) in a game with a massive over/under.
The Eagles (9-1) will debut their all-black uniforms against the Green Bay Packers (4-7), who have lost six of their last seven games. The Eagles are favored in the primetime matchup.

WEEK 12 POWER RANKINGS:How much does Dallas Cowboys’ dominant win boost them?
In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs (8-2) join the Bills at the top of the standings. They will play the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams (3-7), who have looked like a shadow of last year’s team. The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce connection is heavily favored.
Quarterback Sam Darnold will take his turn at the helm of the Carolina Panthers (3-8) as they take on Russell Wilson, who has not fared any better with the Denver Broncos (3-7). Despite hosting the game, the Panthers are a slight underdog.
The New York Jets (6-4) will also be under the guidance of a new quarterback in Mike White. He will face the Chicago Bears (3-8), who have the blossoming Justin Fields at quarterback, although he is struggling with injury.
There are no teams on bye this week, so there’s a full slate of 16 games.
