The latest NFL Power Rankings after Thanksgiving and Week 13 action as the Cowboys headline our biggest risers, while no one is falling faster than the Falcons.

Another week of NFL action is set to kick off on Thursday night, with an NFC showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions getting Week 14 underway. We’re in a crucial part of the season, with playoff races heating up and the stakes rising for several games around the league.

Dallas would have to pull upset over the Lions on Thursday, then win out. After that, things get very interesting.

9. Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1): Up next — At Detroit Lions on Thursday night Notable odds: 24% to make the playoffs, according to The Athletic, and 20% percent, per NFL.com. A victory on TNF bumps the Boys up to 39%, says NFL.com.

It’s not like the semiannual grudge match between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers needed higher stakes, but the football gods bestowed them anyway.

For some teams, it’s win or wave goodbye to the playoffs. For others, it’s a chance to grab hold of their destiny before the calendar flips to crunch time. Either way, the stakes are real — and rising fast.
