The NFL has announced the Week 18 schedule, and as they do each year, they strategically space the games out to create as much drama as possible.
With the Chicago Bears losing to the San Francisco 49ers, the number one seed is off the table, but the Bears can still lock up the two seed with a win over the Detroit Lions at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday.
The current three seed, the Philadelphia Eagles, play at the same time as the Bears, and a Bears loss plus a Philly win would give the Eagles the three seed.
