Headline: NFL’s Saturday Games Present Viewing Challenges for Fans; Lions Fans Have Rooting Interests

Detroit, MI – The NFL is ramping up its holiday season broadcast schedule with seven nationally televised games this week. However, fans may find Saturday’s contests particularly difficult to access. The Houston Texans (10-5) face the Los Angeles Chargers (11-4) at 4:30 p.m. ET, a game airing exclusively on NFL Network and the NFL+ app. Later that evening, the Baltimore Ravens (7-8) will take on the Green Bay Packers (9-5-1) at 8:00 p.m. ET, which will stream exclusively on Peacock.

This game will also have implications for the Detroit Lions looking forward to the 2026 season. According to a Week 17 rooting guide, Lions fans should cheer for the Texans, which would increase the chances of a Colts win over Houston in Week 18.

In the later game, Lions fans should cheer for the Ravens, which could help the Lions acquire a better draft pick and lead to a more beneficial 4th-place schedule in 2026.

For those interested in wagering on the games, the staff’s Week 17 predictions, including moneyline, spread, and over/under picks, are also available.
