Low Positive Posted January 1 Posted January 1 1 hour ago, SoCal Deek said: Just looking at the current standings it’s quite possible that there’ll be three out of the six wildcard games in which the home team has a worse record than the visitors. The NFL might wanna do something about that going forward. We had two bad divisions this year. But it still pales in comparison to 2020-2021, when Washington won the NFC East at 7-9 and hosted a WC game. Quote

Bills!Win! Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Sunday 1pm now that it’s Denver? so dumb that we have to wait until tonight when over 95% of the matchups will be set other than the nfc north (1 and 5 seeds) Quote
Aussie Joe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Surely the Texans game will be in the Sat afternoon wasteland ? Quote
dma0034 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 From a NFL prospective what are the best time slots? Because outside the Chargers-Texans the Bills-Broncos is the worst matchup Packers @ Eagles Commanders @ Rams/Bucs Vikings/Lions @ Rams/Bucs Steelers @ Ravens If that 3rd game is Lions @ Rams that probably is the most interesting game honestly.

It's a blowout and if the Bills are up 17-0 early: people will turn it off. The main interest in that game will strictly be Josh Allen. 1 Quote
Orlando Buffalo Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I very much hope it is the early Saturday game. And then the following Saturday. Extra rest at this time of year definitely matters between such similar teams Quote

Bills/broncos sat early Vikes/lions sat late Chargers Texans Saturday first Steelers/Ravens Sunday mid Packers/Eagles Sunday late Commanders/?? Monday Putting the chargers on a Monday night with travel is not cool. The Steelers Ravens into the packer eagles makes sense to pull audience into each other. I think the NFL could put the bills/broncos early to draw viewers. 9 minutes ago, dma0034 said: It's a blowout and if the Bills are up 17-0 early: people will turn it off.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 5 Posted January 5 My guess is bills play the early game Saturday or the early game Sunday 1 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Will CBS get our game? Seems likely Wonder if it’s Nantz or Ian Eagle 1 Quote

Apparently Monday has always been a 4 vs 5 matchup since they introduced it. So that is either Chargers @ Texans OR Vikes/Lions @ Rams. I believe the thinking is it helps logistical planning for divisional weekend. If both the 2 and the 3 have won at the weekend then the winner of 4/5 can only go to the #1 seed. If either 2 or 3 have lost then the winner of 4/5 can only go to whichever one of the 2/3 has won. If both the 2 and 3 have lost then the 6 can only go to the 4/5. I would expect that to remain the approach. Packers @ Eagles and Steelers @ Ravens are the two prime time games, lock that in. Which leaves the remaining 4/5 game, the Broncos @ Bills and the Commanders @ Buccs as the three remaining. Edited January 6 by GunnerBill Quote
Turbo44 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Guys common sense here. Bills broncos game will not be Saturday and certainly won’t be early Saturday. Both would be on a short week and DEN would be on a very short week and flying across country. Bills broncos will be at the earliest Sunday at 1, and probably Sunday 4 1 Quote

The fact the loser of tonight’s Lions/Vikings has to travel to either LA or Tampa makes me think the system needs revamped. I used to be against it, saying just win your division, but no way a 14-3 team should be on the road. Quote

The loser tonight goes to LA next week. 1 Quote

They also need to get rid of the single team bye - such an unfair advantage - add another team 1 Quote

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Probably gotta be Sunday at 1. Just win. I don’t care what day or time. Find a way. This won’t be easy. Anyone that thinks we blow them out is crazy. Cant take anyone for granted Quote
NeverOutNick Posted January 6 Posted January 6 After listening to other posters and knowing that they lump the AFC and NFC matchups together so that the following week they can put all AFC games on Saturday and all NFC on Sunday. This is what it wildcard weekend will be. I’d bet money on it: Saturday Afternoon: 6 Steelers at 3 Ravens Saturday night: 7 Broncos at 2 Bills Sunday early: 5 Chargers at 4 Texans Sunday Afternoon: 6 Commanders at 3 Bucs Sunday night: 7 Packers at 2 Eagles Monday night: 5 Vikings or Lions at 4 Rams 1 Quote

It will be SAT or SUN Night Quote
