Week 12 of the NFL season is upon us, and the playoffs are rapidly approaching. Today's games are highlighted by two battles for NFC playoff seeding, and a pair of AFC West teams battling to catch the Kansas City Chiefs. Here are today's televised games:
↵10 a.m.: Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons (Fox)
↵This is probably the marquee matchup of the week, with the 7-3 Packers in town to face the 8-2 Falcons, in what might be a battle for the overall number one seed in the NFC playoffs.
↵1 p.m.: Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears (Fox)
↵After this game, barring ties, there will be three teams at least 8-3 in the NFC West.
↵1 p.m.: Miami Dolphins at Oakland Raiders (CBS)
↵It might be a battle of 5-5 teams, but the Raiders still have a shot at the playoffs, as they begin the day one game out of the AFC West lead. The Raiders are 4-1 at home, but the Dolphins are 4-1 on the road, so expect a good game.
↵5:15 p.m.: San Diego Chargers at Indianapolis Colts (NBC)
↵The Chargers started 3-3, but they finally righted their ship, and head the Indy to face the Colts. The Chargers have won three straight, and the Colts are 4-0 at home so far this season.
