The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers renew their old NFC Central rivalry on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm ET at Lambeau Field.  

Fortunately for Buccaneers and Packers fans across the country, there's a pretty decent chance you'll be getting the game on local television.  If you live between the Midwest and the West Coast, that is. 

Per 506Sports.com, the total broadcast area for Buccaneers-Packers game is the biggest out of all the CBS games. 

The broadcast region encompasses most of the Carolinas and stretches from northwest Ohio and Michigan all the way to Nevada and Idaho, with Tennessee and Texas excluded for the Houston-Tennessee game.  Also, if you live in the Fort Myers, Florida TV market or south, you're getting Jets-Dolphins.  Same for those around the Cedar Key, Florida area and further north. 

The game is certainly one of great interest not just for Buccaneer fans – whose team sits atop the NFC South standings by way of tiebreakers over the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints – and Packers fans, but also teams locked into playoff battles with both teams.  The Packers at 6-7 are sitting in the NFC's seventh and final playoff spot ahead of four other teams at 6-7, so there is obviously a ton of rooting interest across the country in their demise on Sunday. 

In short, it's a game that should be widely viewed by NFL fans across the country, and thanks to the broadcast map, many will be accommodated.
