With one week to play and still plenty to be determined, here’s a look at who will be calling each NFL game this weekend.

We’re just a few days out from the final week of the NFL regular season, and nine teams have clinched playoff berths. Six teams – four from the AFC, two from the NFC – are vying for those final three playoff spots.

The biggest game of Week 17 is an AFC South clash for the final wild card spot. Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in what amounts to a play-in game.

The winner gets the sixth seed in the AFC playoff bracket, sending the loser home to watch the postseason from the comfort of their living rooms.

The other two open playoff spots will be decided by the outcomes of four games in the afternoon time slot. Minnesota and Baltimore can secure berths with wins, while Philadelphia and Pittsburgh need wins and losses by the Vikings and Ravens.

The Bears-Vikings game earns the all-star tandem of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, while Browns-Ravens draws Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. However, the broadcasting highlight of the weekend just may come in the inconsequential Lions-Packers game.

Former NFL punter and Barstool Sports personality Pat McAfee will be in the broadcast booth for that one, making his long-awaited play-by-play debut.
