Lol damn, you can't even admit when you are wrong
Must have changed because that is not listed on any NFL schedule. You could at least provide link man. You aren't doing yourself any favors just posting for the sake of it.

All games currently listed as noon CST starts on Sunday
But when the schedule first came out they listed 2 Saturday games on ESPN week 18. ESPN even mentioned it a week or so ago on a MNF game.

I don't look that far ahead when the schedule first came out and I don't watch ESPN all the time to know what they mentioned. You are doing a lot of assumptions here. A simple link would have been nice but on this forum I should know better.

NFL has listed all games in the last week as generic 1PM Sunday starts for the last couple years. This allows them maximum flexibility to get the final week right for maximum drama which generates the best possible ratings. As I posted previously 2 Saturday, full slate Sunday and no MNF.

Talks about the Saturday games as they wait for when they will be announced.

I was just about to post it. In the article it mentions

When the NFL released the season slate back in May, Week 18 was listed as a question mark for all 32 teams. Two games will be played on Saturday- at 4:30 p.m. ET and 8:15 p.m. ET. Everyone else plays on Sunday- either in one of the two normal afternoon timeslots, or in the Sunday Night Football regular-season finale at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

I made no assumptions. I know I was correct.

You are assuming that I watch ESPN all the time by saying 'ESPN mentioned...' and that I look at Week 18 when the schedule came out. you did make assumptions. Stop.

Pretty Sure all the NFC games with seeding implications will happen at the same time. They might do Seattle Rams on Saturday because it just effects them. I could see them doing Ravens Bengals on Saturday too. I am fairly confident they put Jags Titans in the SNF slot because its do or die and Trevor Lawrence is teh new golden boy of the NFL.

I'm betting it be Greenbay and Lions...
It gets a little spicy. The Seahawks are back in othis position as they hold the three-way tiebreaker over the other two .500 teams in the NFC, the Lions and Packers. They will make the playoffs with a win over the Rams in Week 18 and a Packers loss to the Lions, because they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lions from a Week 4 win at Detroit.

The Packers will be in the playoffs as the No. 7 team in the NFC with a win over the Lions. If the Lions win, they would need the Seahawks to lose to the Rams to make the playoffs

I made no assumptions about you or what you look at or watch.
I was just making a statement they mentioned it. It was not about you.
Stop.

This just in---
Chiefs@Raiders and Titans@Jaguars flexed to Saturday

Doubleheader to be aired on ABC/ESPN
KC @ LV 4:30pm EST
TEN @ JAX 8:15pm EST

The remaining 14 regular season finales will all be played on Sunday -- kickoffs TBD.

I am surprised the Jacksonville game is Saturday night, I though it would be a SNF flex game.

Chiefs 13-3, Bills 12-3, Bengals 11-4.
AFC No. 1 seed + bye still in play for all three teams.

BUF @'CIN Monday night; Bills win - CIN out of the running for that.
HOWEVER - that sets up 10-6 Ravens @ 11-5 Bengals, with winner being the AFC North champions and getting the 3rd seed.
The League will definitely make that the Sunday night game.
13-3 Chiefs play on Sarurday afternoon @ 4:30 EST
13-3 Bills will play on Sunday afternoon @ 4:30 EST

Now- if Bengals defeat Bills Monday night - both teams will be 12-4.
CIN clinches NFC North.
KC wins Saturday, they clinch top seed being 14-3.

But if Chiefs lose, both the Bills and Bengals have a chance being the No. 1 aeed.
Then, Ravens @ Bengals will be a Sunday 4:30 game, and Patriots @ Bills will be Sunday night IMO.

This is my first and last time doing this playoff scenario exercise :D
Will let other CZers knock themselves out posting threads about it every day this week:p
