The NFL will have waited almost until the last moment to decide. On Monday night, the league announced the full fixture schedule for Week 18.
It is the Packers and the Lions who will have the honors of prime time. A surprising choice, since these two teams are in the fight with the Seahawks for the last place in the playoffs on the side of the NFC. Except that Seattle will play before, and if the Seahawks win against the Rams, the evening game will become without stake for Detroit. Logic would have wanted the two meetings to be played at the same time. But logic and the race for audiences rarely go hand in hand.
The AFC South final between the Jaguars and the Titans will take place from Saturday night to Sunday. The Bengals-Ravens game is the only one that has yet to be set.
