They have done that for most of the season for "Thursday Night Football", but this week, they opted to have a Christmas game instead of their normal "TNF" broadcast. NFL Network will broadcast the Colts-Cardinals game on its own, so those without the channel will have to turn to streaming alternatives to watch it. One of those options is fuboTV, which comes with a seven-day free trial. The Colts are coming off a big win against the Patriots and are looking to stay hot, as they have won seven of their last nine games.

The No. That doesn't mean a team playing on Wild Card weekend can't win; the Buccaneers proved that last year. But it makes being the No. The NFL playoffs are wide open this year, as there isn't a truly dominant team league-wide. The Packers have been the most consistent, but they haven't made a Super Bowl since Until they get over the hump, it's too early to crown them the team to beat, especially with Brady's Bucs and a few other rock-solid teams lurking.
