With playoff berths, seeds up for grabs, NFL releases game times, TV for Week 18
The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers headline a Week 18 slate the NFL released Monday that includes two games Saturday and intra-division matchups for every team.
Before Detroit and Green Bay kick off at Lambeau Field (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC), the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals play one of the highest-stakes games of the day. When CBS will air that game – 1 p.m. ET or 4:25 p.m. ET – depends on the final game of Week 17 when the Bengals face off against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. A Bengals victory over Buffalo would clinch the AFC North, and their game against Baltimore would start at 1 p.m.
The two Saturday games include the Kansas City Chiefs at the Las Vegas Raiders, with Kansas City still in No. 1 seed contention, and the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars (8:15 p.m.). Both games are on ESPN/ABC.
