The Cowboys have updated playoff odds, including chances at the NFC East, ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Lions.

The Cowboys' joyous holiday weekend was dampened a bit with Sunday's results. Here's what is coming up for the NFC playoff field.

If Dowdle doesn’t re-sign with the Panthers, he’s positioned himself to be an attractive option on the open market. The Houston Texans can afford to get younger at running back, with Nick Chubb and Joe Mixon set to turn 30 ahead of the 2026 season. Chubb is set to become a free agent, and the Texans can cut Mixon before the last year of his deal.

The Panthers are as competitive as they’ve been in some time. So, naturally, some of their standout players should be recognized for it.

For the Cowboys to have a serious chance they obviously have to take care of their own business, and they are going to have to pick up help across the rest of the NFL. Cowboys fans had the weekend off to enjoy action around the league (and will have it once more this week) and there were quite a few surprises that we saw.

The Dallas Cowboys appear to be on the verge of getting a boost on the defensive side of the football, with an update on Trevon Diggs.
