The season finale of the National Football League’s first 18-week regular season has finally arrived. The last week of the NFL season will see teams compete against division rivals with some teams needing a win to lock in a playoff spot.  The AFC West and NFC East will feature a pair of teams from each division competing in the inaugural Monday Night Football: Doubleheader Saturday. 

Here’s a breakdown of where and how to watch all of the action on the gridiron.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles8:15 PMESPN/ABC/ESPN+

The 2022 AFC West Division winning Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) travel to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Broncos (7-9). The Chiefs locked up the division, which gave them a playoff berth, and they’re currently the second seed if the season ended today. With a win and a Titans loss/tie, the Chiefs can lock up the top seed in the playoffs and get the coveted first-round bye. If Kansas City and the Broncos tie, the Chiefs will need a Titans loss to gain the top seed, first-round bye, and home-field advantage. Denver would love nothing more than to play spoiler since they’re already eliminated from the playoffs.

The 11-5 Dallas Cowboys have won the NFC East and are currently the 4th-seed in the NFC if the season ended today. They’ll travel to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the 9-7 Philadelphia, who has locked a playoff spot and are currently the 7th-seed. Saturday will be the 126th game between these two bitter rivals, and the Cowboys lead the all-time series 71-54-0. When they played in Dallas earlier this season, America’s Team won convincingly 41-21.

How to Watch Week 18 of the NFL Season Without Cable

Fans will have plenty of options to watch all their favorite NFL teams and stars compete on the gridiron without spending a fortune.

AntennaWeb is a great tool you can use to find out which affiliate in your area will broadcast the local games on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC.

Select games are available to stream through NFL digital properties such as NFL.com, the NFL app, and the digital properties of the respective teams. Plus, fans can watch the game on their phones via the Yahoo Sports app.

Most of the major subscription live TV streaming services carry this week’s games, so fans can watch the game from anywhere.

Predicting the Winners

Expect this to be a physical Saturday between two pairs of rivals. The Chiefs will likely allow some starters to rest, however, they’re still good enough to leave Denver with a win, and the AFC playoffs will end up going through Kansas City.

In the NFC, the Eagles have been a hungry team and they are going to look to avenge their beatdown back in September. Both teams are just looking to escape the regular-season finale without any major injuries, but with this being a rivalry game, tempers will flare, and the Eagles will fly high with a win.
