Three games could alter the entire complexion of the NFC playoff race on Sunday.
Tampa Bay’s visit to Buffalo is the first of those three. The Bucs have held it together atop the NFC South despite dealing with a slew of injuries.
The late-afternoon clash between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams will throw another wrinkle into the NFC West title race.
Sunday night’s battle between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles is massive in the fight for home-field advantage.
Philadelphia owns the easiest path to a division title since the other three NFC East teams have two or three victories.
If the Eagles beat Detroit, they will have wins over the Lions, Bucs, Rams, Packers and Chiefs. That’s a resume that few Super Bowl contenders can match.
Detroit needs a win on Sunday night to stay in front of the Packers and Chicago Bears. The Packers should beat the New York Giants, while Chicago faces a tough road test against a desperate Minnesota Vikings team.
The San Francisco 49ers could be the biggest winner of Week 11 in the NFC if they beat the Arizona Cardinals. The Niners will gain ground on at least one of the Rams and Seahawks and could move up in the wild-card order depending on other results.
