The end of the NFL regular season is near.
Week 18 is just days away, as the playoff picture is starting to become a bit more clear. Week 17 saw multiple teams officially knocked out of the hunt for the postseason, but five total playoff spots are still up for grabs.
There is plenty for teams to play for in Week 18. While the Ravens and 49ers have locked up the No. 1 seed in their respective conferences, a lot of the seeding and multiple divisions remain up for grabs. So far, only the 49ers, Lions, Chiefs and Ravens have clinched their divisions, with the AFC East, AFC South, NFC East and NFC South still undecided.
With only a handful of games remaining before Super Bowl season officially commences, there are a number of intriguing matchups to keep an eye on for the upcoming slate of football games.
So what are the schedule highlights for the final weekend of the NFL's regular season? Here's what to know about the NFL's Week 18 schedule.
Is there a 'Monday Night Football' game tonight?
There is no "Monday Night Football" game on Monday, Jan. 1. The final Monday night game of the regular season was played in Week 16 on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. That day featured three games on Monday, with the Ravens-49ers wrapping up the action.
With the annual slate of college football bowl games on New Year's Day, the NFL typically does not schedule games to take place the same day as the high-profile NCAA contests.
That said, the NFL will host one more game on a Monday. There will be one contest during the wild-card round that will take place on Monday, Jan. 15.
