The NFL has released the Week 18 time slots, as fans of multiple organizations waited with bated breath after the conclusion of the Sunday games. The NFC’s No. 1 and No. 7 seeds are still up for grabs, with jockeying going on for all but two slots. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sitting at 8-8 and clinching the NFC South, they are the only NFC team with no impact on the remaining races. The New York Giants are locked into No. 6, but because who they play, their game time mattered as well.
The Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers will all play their respective games at 3:25 pm Central, so none of the competitors with a shot at the No. 1 seed in the conference has an opportunity to pull back because their future was already decided.
