    Four divisions are still up for grabs, while the Wild Card seeding in both divisions has predictably come down to the wire. While the Baltimore Ravens have already clinched their division and the AFC’s No. 1 seed, the other three teams playing in NFL games today are still fighting for a spot in the postseason.

    With all the matchups being divisional games this week, the added layer of rivalries will make Week 18 a great send-off to an incredible season. Who will emerge victorious? Here’s how to watch the NFL games today.

    Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens

    • Start time: 4:30 p.m. ET
    • Channel: ESPN, ABC
    • Live stream options: ESPN+, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV

    The Ravens have their playoff seed sealed after beating the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. With the No. 1 seed locked up, Baltimore has elected to sit multiple players this week.

    QB Lamar Jackson, WR Odell Beckham Jr., and RG Kevin Zeitler will all sit on the offense, with rookie WR Zay Flowers listed as doubtful. While a win is nice, the Ravens are prioritizing health.

    Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers face an uphill battle to make the playoffs. It all starts with beating an underhanded Ravens team. Can QB Mason Rudolph lead the offense to another 30-point game?

    A win alone doesn’t seal the deal for Pittsburgh. However, the Steelers would still need a Titans to upset, or Dolphins win on Sunday to crash the AFC playoff party.

    Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts

    • Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET
    • Channel: ESPN, ABC
    • Live stream options: ESPN+, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV

    The second NFL game of the day features the Houston Texans heading to Lucas Oil Stadium for an AFC South showdown against the Indianapolis Colts.

    Even with the Texans traveling to Indianapolis, Houston is the favorite. Which team will get the final win to get into the postseason?

    One matchup to watch today is Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud. Stroud dazzled fans with 384 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2 when these two teams faced off.

    The rookie has only improved as the season went on, helping lead the Texans to the position they are currently in. Can Stroud and rookie head coach DeMeco Ryans get a playoff berth in their first season?
