This game does have some serious playoff implications, so it is worth keeping tabs on, but probably not worth sitting down to watch in its entirety. But since then? Losses to the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have put a huge dent in their playoff hopes. A few weeks ago they looked like a very fiesty team, coming off wins against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day and then the Kansas City Chiefs the following week. That loss by Atlanta put their playoff position in peril, relegated Desmond Ridder to the bench, and now has owner Arthur Blank talking openly about the future of head coach Arthur Smith.Īs for the Packers, this is a critical game for them.

The Carolina Panthers played the spoiler role to perfection last week, stunning the Atlanta Falcons in a rainy and miserable game thanks to a game-winning drive from rookie quarterback Bryce Young. Thank you Miami Dolphins, for sparing us from a week of “will he or won’t he” regarding Aaron Rodgers.īut all that means is that this game will be a battle of Zach Wilson/Trevor Siemian/Tim Boyle versus Sam Howell/Jacoby Brissett. But if you have no idea what “Veets” is, then this is not the game for you. Let’s put it this way: If you are someone who has been to “Veets” in Mobile before, you have an interest in this game. As for Chicago’s own first-round pick, that is currently slotted in at the fifth spot. Arizona, with their 3-11 record, are slated to pick third, behind Chicago (via Carolina) and the New England Patriots. Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bearsįor a certain segment of the NFL viewing audience, this game might be worth watching.Īs things stand right now, according to Tankathon, the Chicago Bears are in line for the first-overall selection next spring, thanks to their pick from the Carolina Panthers. Sure, you could watch the 3-11 Patriots limp into Denver, where they have struggled over the years - New England is 11-17 playing at Denver - but there are a lot of other ways you can spend your time. Or more accurately, a prompt to go spend time with your families. In many ways, this is the NFL’s gift to you. This is the Christmas Eve, primetime game. So if you can only fit one or two games into your schedule this Sunday, we’ve gone ahead and ranked them by watchability.Īnd we can say at the outset, you can go ahead and make plans for Sunday night. However, you might not have a chance to watch every single game, depending on your plans for the day.
