NFL games returning to Saturday in 2014 with Week 16 doubleheader - CBSSports.com

According to the article, there had been Saturday games since 1970 until last season; the first season without a Saturday NFL game.

And to answer your question, by week 16 both college and high school football regular season games are over.

I thought it was unusual to have a Saturday game as well, but apparently not.
