In Divisional terms, the NFL has gotten pretty close to having everybody at the same time this year. There are no Thursday / Saturday / Monday games, and only three games are in the 4 p.m. window. Since all the games in the last week are within the division, what that means is that other than the AFC West (one early and one late) and possibly whatever gets flexed to NBC, all the divisions will have their games running at the same time.
As for the Sunday night window, NBC has tended to choose a game that functions as a "Division Championship", where the winner qualifies for the playoffs (likely as a 3 or 4 seed) and the loser is eliminated. Admittedly, it helps that those usually seem to involve the Dallas Cowboys' latest hilarious defeat, but they also did the Seattle-St. Louis game back when the NFC West was terrible top-to-bottom. With 8 divisions and only 4 wildcard spots, it seems to work out that there is one of those games each year.
