This is it. The NFL regular season has come down to this, and there are several very meaningful games. That includes the New Orleans Saints hosting their bitter rivals – the Atlanta Falcons – in the Caesars Superdome with a potential NFC South division title on the line. That is, if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can lose to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
But Saints-Falcons and Bucs-Panthers aren’t the only important games on the docket. And there are a few whose lines are a bit surprising, as it is clear some teams will use this final game to rest players before they go into the playoffs.
Here’s the entire slate, along with the early lines from our partners at Caesars Sportsbook (as of Tuesday afternoon) and what network will be broadcast each game.
