New England also has been potentially given a huge break. Bengals win tonight, Chiefs win Saturday and the NE-BUF game is close to meaningless for Buffalo. They'd need the Bengals to lose to get the #2 seed, but Baltimore would have nothing to play for against Cincy except seeding, the division would be over, and no way would they risk Lamar just for that. NFL should just do what the Premier League does and have every game start at the same time in week 18. But TV wins, which is why the Packers got SNF.

If anyone should feel like a conspiracy will be on, it's Seahawks fans. Ensuring the Seahawks lose makes SNF fully matter. I know there will be a lot of arguments about Lions/Packers as a divisional game, Campbell won't let them take it easy etc..but human nature is human nature, so for the Lions going from at 4:25 EST potentially playing a win and in game, to actually playing a meaningless game by 7:25 EST, it would be hard to not expect a let down.
