New Orleans Saints
49ers' loss against Baltimore Ravens in Week 13 has propelled New Orleans Saints as undisputed favourites to get to Super Bowl out of NFC. While y have already clinched a spot in NFL Playoffs, a win against 49ers over weekend will mean that New Orleans Saints will exert a tight grip on 1 seed in NFC.
New England Patriots
New England Patriots headed into game against Houston Texans high on confidence. Texans, however, had last laugh as y registered just ir second win over New England Patriots since 2010. New England Patriots could have become first team to clinch a spot in NFL Playoffs. loss to Houston Texans, however, will mean that Patriots will need some help from Bills, Jets, Browns or Steelers - Baltimore Ravens’ final four opponents.

Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks are arguably biggest winners of Week 13. A win over Vikings and 49ers' loss against Ravens means that Seahawks are well-positioned to make it through to NFL Playoffs as NFC West Champions. Seahawks are tied with 49ers atop NFC West. However, Seahawks do own tiebreaker owing to fact that y beat 49ers during Week 10. With games against Rams, Panrs, Cardinals and 49ers left to play, Seattle Seahawks have a more than decent chance of winning division.

Dallas Cowboys
Plainly put, Cowboys are in turmoil. Cowboys have lost two in a row and future of ir coach Jason Garrett appears hazy. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was earlier quoted as saying that Jason Garrett will coach in NFL next year. However, Jones failed to specify which team Garrett will be coaching next season. fact that Cowboys play in NFC East means that y will, in all probability, make it to NFL Playoffs. Wher y can successfully mount a challenge for Super Bowl remains to be seen.
