It is highly unusual for the biggest matchup on an NFL Sunday to be stuck in the early time slot, especially this late in the season. However, that’s what happened in week 17, as the Baltimore Ravens (-3.5)
and Miami Dolphins (+3.5) will meet at 1:00 PM Eastern Time with the AFC’s top seed on the line.
Baltimore currently holds a one-game lead on Miami with two weeks to go. A Ravens win would clinch that top seed for Baltimore, giving them a meaningless (in terms of their playoff positioning) game against the Steelers in week 18.
