Nearly every show still on is preparing for a winter or season break, but there's still plenty of football to watch including the season finale of Monday Night Football... on a Saturday. Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.

The League
Just as our fantasy football seasons are coming to an end, so is this season of FX's comedy series. Whether or not this year's season finale lives up to last year's probably depends on how much Rafi plays into it, but we'll be watching The League to see who wins the Shiva all the same.
(December 20th, FX, 10:30 & 11PM)

49ers/Seahawks Sunday Night Football
Wait, is this an exciting late season game in the NFC West? Apparently so, since young QBs Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have shown this season that they're more than deserving of the "must-see" tag. After beating the Patriots and destroying the Buffalo Bills they come head to head, it should be an excellent matchup to watch while wrapping gifts Sunday night.
(December 23rd, NBC, 8:20PM)
