It’s December which means there’s going to be plenty of NFL football on Saturdays in the coming weeks. Today, the NFL revealed an official slate of games for Saturday, December 16.
According to Adam Schefter, three games have been given official start times for December 16. Here are the times:
- Minnesota Vikings at Cincinnati Bengals at 1 pm ET
- Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts at 4:30 pm ET
- Denver Broncos at Detroit Lions at 8:15 pm ET
It’s a good combination of games as all but one of those teams have a winning record and are in the playoff race right now. Only the Cincinnati Bengals look like they’ll be struggling for the rest of the way.
But none of those games will be bad teams tanking for a better draft spot in April.
The Minnesota Vikings have looked good with Joshua Dobbs stepping in for Kirk Cousins. They did lose to the Chicago Bears this past week, but could bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in their next game.
Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts are in playoff contention despite a litany of weaknesses.
As for the Broncos and Lions, both have become pleasant surprises for different reasons.
Which of those six teams will emerge victorious in their respective games?
