Saturday night takes us to AT&T Stadium where two of the top teams in the NFC will face off in this week 17 matchup. This game has plenty of playoff implications for both of these teams, as the number one seed still hangs in the balance for both of them heading into the final two weeks of the regular season. They both also have an opportunity to move up the standings with a victory here in this one and for the Dallas Cowboys, a victory would help them clinch the NFC East division heading into the final week of the year. Both of these teams have already clinched their position in the playoffs, and now they are simply playing for seeding heading into the last two weeks of the year.
For the first time in a very long time the Detroit Lions are champions of the NFC North division. They will look to further establish themselves as a legitimate contender with a victory here in this game on Saturday night on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. They have lived up to their expectations under Dan Campbell and they are a serious threat heading into the playoffs if they can remain healthy and consistent throughout the last two weeks of the regular season. The Detroit Lions come into this game with 11 victories through their first 16 games of the regular season and a 12th win here in this game would secure them a spot in the top two of the NFC standings and guarantee them at least a pair of home games in the postseason.
They have gotten the job done with solid play on both sides of the football and quarterback, Jared Goff has been incredible throughout the year as he has played mistake free football, and helped lead the Detroit Lions to the incredible regular season. Detroit comes into this game on a two game winning streak after victories over Minnesota and Denver and they will look for a third consecutive victory here on Saturday night against Dallas. As they look to stake their claim as one of the top teams in the league this season and put themselves in a position to make a run at the Super Bowl as well.

The Dallas Cowboys have put together a successful season and a victory in this game would clinch them the NFC East division heading into the final week of the regular season as well. They have leaned on their defense throughout the year, and their MVP, award candidate quarterback Dak Prescott, as they have both performed well throughout the year and led Dallas to the incredible campaign. They look to lead the Dallas Cowboys to another victory here in this game at home against the Detroit Lions.
Dallas has been so tough to beat this year inside of AT&T Stadium and they will look to further prove that narrative to be true with another quality performance here in this game on Saturday night to kick off week 17 of the NFL season. Dallas comes into this game, looking for their 11th victory of the regular season, and they will look to put themselves in a position to win the division with another quality performance here in this one as well. However, they will need to break out of their current two game winning streak if they want to keep those hopes alive as they have been struggling as of late.
