NFL Week 14 starts with a Thursday Night Football between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, a primetime game that pits a historically low over/under.
The NFL Week 18 slate kicks off with two consequential Saturday games, as the Steelers face the top-seeded Ravens and the Texans take on the Colts in a win-or-out scenario. The action wraps up with 14 divisional clashes on Sunday, with the Bills and Dolphins clashing for Sunday Night Football in a winner-take-all battle for the AFC East division crown and No. 2 seed in the conference.
The AFC has three playoff berths still up for grabs for five contenders, with an epic AFC East showdown between the Buffalo Bill and Miami Dolphins. The NFC has six teams still in the hunt that will shed blood for the final two spots.
• Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens - Sat 4:30 PM ET
Without a head-to-head tiebreaker against the Colts or Texans, the Steelers (-4) need a win over the already No. 1 Seed Ravens and either the Bills or Jaguars to lose to make the postseason.
• Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts - Sat 8:15 PM ET
The Colts (-1) hold the No. 7 seed and the head-to-head tiebreaker over the No. 8 seeded Texans. This do-or-die matchup is where the winner stays, and the loser goes home.
• Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans - Sun 1:00 PM ET
The Jaguars (-5) need a win against the Titans to lock in the division title. In case of a loss, the Jaguars would make the playoffs if the Steelers lose to the Ravens.
• Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins - Sun 8:20 PM ET
The Bills (-3) visit the Dolphins for a nail-biting Sunday Night Football. The winner takes the AFC South and the No. 2 seed. Miami would drop to No. 6 with a loss, but if the Bills lose, they would be sent packing if both the Jaguars and Steelers win.
• Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Commanders - Sun 4:25 PM ET
The Cowboys (-13) visit the Commanders needing a win to hold the NFC East crown and the No. 2 seed. A loss could give the Eagles the division and see them drop to No. 6 seed.
• Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants - Sun 4:25 PM ET
Opposite from the Cowboys, the Eagles (-5) would keep their No. 5 seed win or lose, but with a win and a Dallas loss, they would win the division and jump to the No. 2 seed.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers - Sun 1:00 PM ET
Currently tied at the top of the NFC South, the Buccaneers (-5½) need a win in Carolina to secure the division and the No. 4 seed. A loss could send them packing, with virtually no chance of a Wild Card spot if they lose the division in a complex scenario with the Saints and Falcons.
• Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints - Sun 1:00 PM ET
The Saints (-3) host the Falcons with an eye on the Bucs. They would both be eliminated if Tampa Bay wins. If the Buccaneers lose, the winner would take the NFC South and the No. 4 seed. New Orleans could also make the playoffs despite a Tampa victory if they win and both the Packers and Seahawks lose.
• Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers - Sun 4:25 PM ET
For the second year in a row, the Packers (-3) reach their final game of the season in an all-or-nothing match against the Bears. Winning would hitch them to the No. 7 spot, with a chance to pass the Rams for the No. 6 seed if they lose to the 49ers. A loss would leave them out of the playoffs altogether.
• Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals - Sun 4:25 PM ET
The Seahawks (-3) are sitting in the No. 8 spot without any control of their playoff destiny. They need a win in Arizona and a Packers loss against the Bears as they hold the tiebreaker over the Saints.
• Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions - Sun 1:00 PM ET
The Vikings visit the Lions (-3), mathematically alive but on life support. They need to win in Detroit and nothing short of a miracle, including losses from the Packers, Seahawks, and either the Saints or Buccaneers to get into the playoffs.
But wait, there is more...
The 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship is set!
The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines (-5) will face the No. 2 Washington Huskies in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday, January 8th, at NRG Stadium in Houston. This year's title game is the last in a four-team playoff, as the field will expand to 12 for the 2024 season. This also marks the first time these two undefeated squads make their appearance in the Championship Game in the CFP era.
