9. New York Giants at St. Louis Rams (3:05 CT, 4:05 ET, Fox: Thom Brennaman, David Diehl, and Laura Okmin) Sunset at 4:42.
Maybe 13 or 14 years ago this would have been a #1 game. Rams 29, Giants 7
8. Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (noon CT, 1 ET, Fox: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Erin Andrews) Sunset at 4:21.
Why Fox's #1 team is doing this game is beyond me since Jimmy Clausen is being thrown to the Lions. Lions 40, Bears 9
7. Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1 ET, Fox: Chris Myers, Ronde Barber, and Jennifer Hale) Sunset at 5:26.
GB: 0-6 all-time at Buffalo. Aaron Rodgers: 0-2 all-time at Tampa Bay. Packers 26, Buccaneers 21
6. Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins (4:25 ET Saturday, NFL Network: Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon) Sunset at 4:48.
While Game #5 is a more exciting game due to a closer matchup, I bet had NFL Network known weeks ago when they flexed these two Saturday games that San Francisco would be eliminated before Week 16, then this game would have been the night game instead. Eagles 27, Redskins 20
5. San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers (Saturday: 5:25 PT, 8;25 ET, CBS, NFL Network: Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, and Jenny Dell) Sunset at 4:53.
Just a few weeks ago, this could have been a Super Bowl preview... Chargers 20, 49ers 17
4. Cleveland Browns at Carolina Panthers (1 ET, CBS: Tom McCarthy and Adam Archuleta) Sunset at 5:14.
Matchup of the Heismans, just as we will see on January 1 (5 ET, ESPN) Panthers 17, Browns 9
3. Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints (noon CT, 1 ET, Fox: Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch, and Pam Oliver)
Finally we reach our first game on this list that features two playoff contenders. The Falcons have never swept the Saints since Drew Brees joined the team, and the Falcons won the Week 1 matchup the #lasttimetheymet Falcons 25, Saints 23
The Cardinals can clinch the division, a first round bye, and homefield advantage through the Super Bowl with a win here! Seahawks 16, Cardinals 11
1. Indianapolis Colts at Dallas Cowboys (3:25 CT, 4:25 ET, CBS: Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, and Tracy Wolfson) Sunset at 5:23.
Skip Bayless calls AT&T Stadium a neutral site. Colts 37, Cowboys 34
