Greg S Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 2 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t know the Texans have played 5 Saturday games in this round I think. The 6 seed is either going to be a really bad team (Pittsburgh/Oakland) or a team no one cares about (Titans). That feels like the early Sunday game to me. Didn't KC play the Titans at home two years ago on Saturday afternoon leaving the Bills-Jaguars as the Sunday 1:00 game. The Bills will be the early game on Saturday or early on Sunday. It's 50/50 as to which one IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Three of the highest rated regular season games in years has been the Bills vs. Cowboys, Steelers, Pats. Seems there is something going on nationally with the Bills so if I'm a TV exec I am seriously considering putting the Bills in a premiere spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show averaged 20.5 million this year at the time of the game, and only 18.5 million watched Bills-Steelers. Bills-Pats was the 6th-most-watched game...of week 16.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Not that it matter much anymore, but likely all four games will be played in central time zone. Back in the day a team like NE would almost always play the early game due to being in the east. They weren't going to make fan sit there and freeze with a night game. Now who cares about the fans!

Richard Noggin Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 My second job, at a local high-end restaurant, virtually guarantees I'm unable to watch anything on Saturdays from 4 pm to about midnight. The generationally-indelible Bengals-vs-Steelers outcome two years ago? Yep, I was working. Kind of ironic given our access to the Bills and Sabres over the years, that we'd miss such historically significant contests due to the job...but I'm mostly convinced the wildcard game will be Saturday at 4:30.
