Guide Note

This page contains the schedule and other news and information pertaining to the seventeenth and final week of the 2008 season in the National Football League. All the games will be played on Sunday December 28. Because the league operates an odd number of weeks, and to increase the probability of exposing the country to the biggest pool of important games, doubleheaders are run on both CBS and FOX. Among the post-Christmas holiday games that should provide intrigue and playoff implications are the annual "T.O. Bowl" between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans hosting Carolina, and Tennessee traveling to Indianapolis. The league has not yet scheduled the Sunday Night Football game yet, but will do so in early December. There is no Monday Night Football game this week.
