Breaking Down the Schedule 

The Lone National Game: Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Because all Week 17's games take place on Sunday in either the two afternoon slots, there's only one nationally televised clash this week, when the Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions on NBC. 

This game was flexed to the late slot, and it's not hard to see why; it's a network's dream. It features two division rivals in a play-and-they're-in situation. The winner takes the NFC North and earns a playoff berth. 

Both teams have been successful this season, with nine wins apiece, but while the Lions won five games in a row in November and December, they've lost their last two. Green Bay, meanwhile, struggled in the middle of its season but has gotten hot, winning its last five straight heading into the matchup.

Detroit's Matthew Stafford has been the most clutch quarterback in the fourth quarter this season, leading his team to a comeback win eight times this season. As Josh Dubow of the Associated Press shared, per Pro Football Reference, that's the most in any season.

The only national game this week is also the biggest must-watch matchup on the slate.   

Most of the Country Will See: Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos

Raiders Report shared the coverage map for Oakland at Denver on Twitter, which covers the largest section of the country of any non-national game this week:

Of course, this game would have been far more interesting if Raiders quarterback Derek Carr hadn't gotten injured. As it stands, Carr will miss the game after having surgery to repair a broken fibula and backup Matt McGloin will take the field against Denver. 

Oakland clinched a playoff berth this season for the first time since 2002, ending a 14-year drought. 

But there's still plenty to play for. While the 8-7 Broncos are out of the playoffs, the 12-3 Raiders are playing for the division and a first-round bye. 

If Oakland loses to Denver, however, and the Kansas City Chiefs win their matchup against the San Diego Chargers, the Chiefs take the division and bounce Oakland to a wild-card spot. 

If Lions-Packers is the NFC matchup of the week to watch, Oakland-Denver is the AFC equivalent. 

Burning Question: Will Steelers Starters Play?

Bill Wippert/Associated Press

If you've been relying on Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and/or Le'Veon Bell to get you the W in fantasy this season, you might not be very happy in Week 17. 

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin "strongly indicated" that those players, as well as center Maurkice Pouncey, "will get that consideration" to be "preserved as we look into the playoff round," as Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. 

If you have one or more of those players, you'd better check Twitter before kickoff and hope that your second-string guys will be able to get it done in your championship week. 

If you're a Steelers fan unconcerned with fantasy implications, however, you're likely feeling pretty good about Tomlin's decision. Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns is about as low-stakes as they come; probably the worst thing that could come out of the game besides an injury is that the Browns hurt their draft position with a win. 

Pittsburgh has locked down the No. 3 seed in the AFC and wants to enter the postseason as healthy as possible. Seeing what has happened to other AFC quarterbacks Carr, Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill, can you blame the Steelers?
