Minneapolis: So, the NFL made some changes to the Week 17 schedule. The Packers and Vikings game is now set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET instead of the earlier 1 p.m. slot.
Fox will be showing both games, but this one is getting a nationwide audience. With both teams eyeing the playoffs, the stakes are pretty high. The Vikings are still in the hunt for the division title and the top seed in the NFC.
If the Vikings win against the Packers, they’ll have a shot at clinching the top seed by taking down the Lions in Week 17. But if they lose and the Lions win against the 49ers, the Lions will snag both the division title and the top seed.
On the other hand, the Packers need to beat the Saints to secure their playoff spot, but they can’t win the NFC North title anymore. It’s going to be an exciting finish to the season!
