Saturdays no longer belong just to college football.

With the college football regular season officially over, the NFL is taking advantage with three games on the Saturday slate. All three games feature at least one team in the playoff race, with two games featuring both teams in playoff contention.

First up the Cincinnati Bengals will host the Minnesota Vikings in a battle of backup quarterbacks. Jake Browning took over for an injured Joe Burrow and has looked every bit of an NFL starting quarterback. Meanwhile, the Vikings are turning the reigns over to Nick Mullens after the recent struggles of Josh Dobbs.

Minnesota and Cincinnati kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

In the second game of the afternoon two 7-6 AFC squads will throw down. The Indianapolis Colts are hoping to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff race while the Pittsburgh Steelers are just hoping to avoid a third-straight loss.

Pittsburgh and Indianapolis kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

Finally, the night cap will likely be the best game of the day as the Denver Broncos travel to Detroit to battle the Lions. Jared Goff and company have lost two of their last three games and will be hungry to bounce back against a Broncos squad that’s been heating up over the last two months.

Denver and Detroit kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
