Eagles (11-4) at Cowboys (10-5)
The Cowboys rode to a 20–16 victory over the Eagles in Week 9 earlier this season. But these two beasts of the NFC East have split their last 10 meetings overall. Both teams have big time quarterbacks with big play receivers to throw to — with Dallas’ Tony Romo finding fantasy football waiver wire superstar Miles Austin and Philly’s Donovan McNabb targeting electric playmaker DeSean Jackson, who is so good he was named to the Pro Bowl twice (as a receiver and kick returner) this year. The winner of this division showdown will be entering the playoffs red hot and could be considered the favorite in the NFC, thanks to recent struggles by the Saints and Vikings.

Packers (10-5) at Cardinals (10-5)
These two teams are facing a difficult strategic decision in the regular season finale. Green Bay and Arizona could be headed for back-to-back meetings — this Week 17 match-up and in next week’s Wild Card Round — so neither team will want to reveal too much. But the Cardinals need to win in order to keep an outside shot at a bye week alive. If the Vikings and Eagles both lose, the No. 2 seed and a bye would be in the Cards. Expect both teams to rest any questionable starters, but Arizona is more likely to keep its key players on the field deep into the second half.

Bengals (10-5) at Jets (8-7)
This Sunday night heavyweight fight was flexed to prime time due to its playoff atmosphere and implications. While Bengals wideout Chad Ochocinco is busy growling at the media — telling J-E-T-S-chanting fans to cheer O-C-H-O when he scores on cornerback Darrelle Revis, who Ocho says “couldn’t cover” him “in a brown paper bag on a corner of a Manhattan street inside a phone booth” — it is the Jets who are in must-win mode. New York first-year coach Rex Ryan, rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez and the Gang Green defense can punch a ticket to the playoffs — and quiet a certain talkative, bi-lingual receiver — with a win on Sunday night.
