NFL TV Schedule 2016: Week 14 Coverage-Map Listings for Every Game
Week 14 is the week of potential conference championship matchup previews in the NFL.
Think about it: In the AFC, we'll see the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots take on each other as well as a battle between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.
If the playoffs were to start tomorrow, all four of those teams would be in.
Meanwhile, in the NFC, we get a juicy rematch of the 2015 NFC Championship Game when the Green Bay Packers host the Seattle Seahawks. Also, two more teams that would be in the playoffs if the season were to end Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, meet in Week 14 as well.
Needless to say, there's a lot of must-see TV this week. Let's break it all down.

Must-Watch Matchups
Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs
Don't look now, but the Raiders and Chiefs, who are in close contention for the AFC West title, are shaping up to be two AFC powerhouses in 2016. Don't be surprised if one of these rivals makes it all the way to the title game.
The Raiders lead the division at 10-2, while the Chiefs are in hot pursuit at 9-3. Kansas City won the first meeting decisively, 26-10, and heads into the matchup on a two-game winning streak.
However, the Raiders are in the midst of a six-game win streak, and the young squad appears to be poised to challenge anyone in the AFC. The only question is whether the Raiders peaked too early in the season or can maintain their momentum heading into the postseason.
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts' season is on the line as they take on the Houston Texans in Week 14.
But if the locker room vibe after Indy's blowout win over the New York Jets in Week 13 was any indication, this team believes it can go all the way:
Both Indianapolis and Houston are tied at 6-6, but Houston holds the tiebreaker in the AFC South since the Colts lost their first matchup, 26-23.
Quarterback Andrew Luck was back in action in Week 13 after missing the previous game with a concussion, and he was on fire, throwing for four touchdowns and zero interceptions on his way to 278 yards.
Luck has proved he's ready to lead this team to the postseason, but the Colts defense isn't giving him much help.
Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers
The Seahawks and Packers met in the NFC Championship Game in 2015, but neither is the team it once was.
Quarterback Russell Wilson's Seahawks have embraced a pass-heavy offense that will look to exploit a Packers secondary that has suffered multiple injuries. Speaking of which, Seattle will be without Earl Thomas, who suffered a season-ending leg injury in Week 13.
Meanwhile, Green Bay signal-caller Aaron Rodgers and his weapons finally appear to be on the same page and have been producing big numbers as the season reaches its final weeks. Rodgers will test the Seahawks deep with Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams, and he can challenge the front seven with Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery.
The big difference in this matchup is that the 6-6 Packers are playing for their lives, while the 8-3-1 Seahawks have a comfortable three-game lead in the NFC West. Green Bay has to channel that desperation into focus and aggression.
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants
In Week 13, the 11-1 Dallas Cowboys became the first team in the NFL to clinch a playoff spot when Washington lost to Arizona.
Now, the Cowboys can add more accolades and clinch the NFC East with a victory over the division rival New York Giants.
The Giants have been a thorn in the Cowboys' side this season, with their shocking win in Week 1 remaining the only game the Cowboys have dropped on the season. Dallas has won 11 consecutive games since then and will look for its 12th on Sunday.
This matchup looks to be one of the best Sunday Night Football clashes the season has had to offer.
