Happy and Merry Christmas Eve! If you do not celebrate Christmas that is alright, welcome to the Turf Show Times. We are on the eve of the NFL playoffs; the table is getting set. The Los Angeles Rams are in, so are a number of teams. Much is still to be determined. It’s a wild time.

My hope is that you and your family enjoy the holiday. If you work today then that is lame, but get through it, then enjoy your time!

I don’t have much, but thank you for checking out Turf Show Times. Thanks for hanging out with us and have a great day!

“A combination of their Thursday Night Football loss to the Seahawks and the 49ers’ Monday Night Football road win over the Colts in Week 16 slid the Rams from the No. 1 seed to the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture.

Overall, five NFC teams – including Los Angeles – have clinched a playoff berth so far.

Here’s what that full NFC playoff picture looks like and how various Week 17 matchups – including the Rams’ against the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday Night Football – will impact the playoff picture.“

“The Los Angeles Rams will be back on the field for their Monday Night Football showdown with the Atlanta Falcons to close out Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season.

This is going to be another huge game for the Rams as they are looking to improve their NFC seeding if they can. While the Falcons are looking to put on a major upset to make sure that the Rams’ first-round pick next season is not in the top 10. The Rams own the Falcons’ round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.“

“The Los Angeles Rams stumbled against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16, but are still alive for the top spot in the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Unfortunately, they’ll likely need to win out and have some things break their way for that to happen, but the first step is making sure they take care of business against the Atlanta Falcons in the Week 17 edition of Monday Night Football.

The Falcons’ season has been over for a while, but they have one final chance to salvage some time in a prime-time slot. Also, considering the Rams currently hold the Falcons’ first-round draft pick in 2026, Atlanta has a chance to hurt Los Angeles in more ways than one by pulling off the upset.“
