NFL Viewing Picks for Week 17 of the 2013 Season

Normally, these aren’t posted until Thursday or later as I wait for the official press releases from the networks, but as assignments began leaking out today through Twitter, we have all of the games and announcers for the double doubleheaders on CBS and Fox and of course, the Sunday Night Football game on NBC.

Because all of the games in Week 17 are played on Sunday, there are no Thursday or Monday Night Football contests.

As far as we know, there are no blackouts, but they would not be announced until Thursday. If there are any blackouts, I will update this post.

I will link to the506.com for his NFL Viewing Maps and there’s nothing for Week 17 right now, but check over there throughout the week as games in certain areas may change until Friday.

Thanks to reader Jimmy Delach for his help in gathering these assignments. If there are any revisions, I will make changes forthwith, but these should be final.

It appears Gus Johnson is back on the NFL after a year’s absence.

As usual, all times are Eastern
