Several teams clinched playoff berths last week, but there are still postseason slots unclaimed heading into the second to last week of the regular season.

Christmas is almost here, and football fans are in for a special holiday gift with some remarkable games to look forward to in Week 17 spanning the holiday into the weekend. 

Here is a look at the schedule and how to stream NFL games on FOX this weekend.

America’s Game of the Week

The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hit the road to square off with the Buffalo Bills in a game of two playoff teams with still a lot to play for in a phenomenal late-season contest. 

Buffalo and Philadelphia clinched playoff spots, but both have their sights set on moving up in the bracket for higher spots with the tournament starting in January. 

Two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks take center stage as Eagles QB Jalen Hurts takes on Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who is once again having an MVP-caliber season and has Buffalo one game out of claiming first place in the AFC East. 

Hurts and the Eagles' offense have been inconsistent this season but showed signs of improvement in the past two weeks. This unit flourishes when running back Saquon Barkley gets 20-plus rushing attempts and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are factors in the passing game to apply pressure to a tough Bills defense led by edge rusher Joey Bosa. 

On the flip side, Allen likely must deliver another heroic performance against a formidable Eagles defense featuring Jalen Carter that can attack the quarterback rushing four, while throwing in diverse blitz packages to stymie offenses.

Bills running back James Cook must be a factor in the game plan to not only slow down the Eagles D but take pressure off Allen to have time in the pocket to find his weapons on the edges in receiver Keon Coleman and tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.

Buffalo is favored in this game, according to FOX Sports, but in this battle of evenly matched teams neither outcome would be much of a surprise.
