I somehow did not realize the week 18 schedule was never set by the NFL? They have the matchups obviously and the times slots but not what teams play when. Did anyone else realize this?
In Week 18, two games will be played on Saturday (4:30 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET) with the remainder to be played on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET) and one matchup to be played on Sunday night (8:20 PM ET). Specific dates, start times, and networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.
I’ve looked at schedules for different teams 100 times and never noticed. It’s an interesting concept and I would imagine the Lions may wind up a Saturday game with the Packers.
If the Packers still have a chance at the playoffs then the NFL will flex it to Sunday night. Colder the better to give the Pack any advantage it can. Put money on it.
I was listening to the Huge show on the way home from work and he was talking about what it would take for the Lions to get into the playoffs at 9-8. If for some reason we end up with the same record with the Packers we have the tie breaker. Boy would it be nice to go into Lambeau with nothing to play for knowing we were in. I want to win out but it sure would make things easier for that to happen.
