I care a lot more about Indianapolis at Atlanta than Detroit Vs. Minnesota.  Thanks a lot FOX

 

Yeah, FOX is unfortunately steering many of the competitive AFC markets to that game. They want more yes on that leading into their main late game. It is a good game (two winning teams fighting for the NFC North) but many people feel the same as you. The problem is Atlanta, who, despite currently fighting for the NFC South title, has a losing record. And the FOX audience is still NFC oriented, having covered them for all these years. AFC teams like Indy are treated as a step-child.

Also note that while the NFL is king in the US, many countries are choosing to cover the Christmas Day NBA games on their ESPN/FOX networks, as basketball is huge abroad (except in the UK).

 

So, for example, Australia and New Zealand, which are not showing the Christmas Day day games (except on DAZN). And also Brazil:

 

 

:

 

And Mexico:

 

 

Sweden and Norway are showing only the LV-KC Christmas Day day game on TV4 Play & TV2 Sport X.

American Forces Network schedule for Week 16:


The Peacock-exclusive Bills-Chargers game will not air live on AFN. It will air at 6 AM Eastern on AFN Sports.

Bengals-Steelers will air on AFN Sports, however, live.


As for Sunday, AFN Sports has Lions-Vikings, Cowboys-Dolphins and Patriots-Broncos.

Sports2 has Browns-Texans and Jaguars-Buccaneers.

Prime Atlantic has Colts-Falcons and Cardinals-Bears.


On Monday, the NFL tripleheader will be on Sports2, due to AFN Sports having the NBA quintupleheader.

Can honestly say I don't even need to watch ST this weekend, as the games not on local TV are pretty horrendous to bother watching.  Yeah some of the scores may matter in relation to Bills playoff chances, but they will get flashed up enough on bottom of screen to not switch to watch.  Maybe last 5 minutes if rooting interest might switch over to one or the others??

The late Jacksonville at Tampa Bay game might be pretty good if Dallas at Miami becomes a blowout.
