The NFC teams likely playing on wild card weekend are all big draws - Eagles/Cowboys, 49ers/Seahawks, Saints, Vikings, etc. Thus NBC is going to get an NFC game and ESPN is going to get the worst AFC game. I think the Chiefs get the Sunday AFC slot regardless of opponent. Not true. 6 hours ago, DBilz2500 said: Will be on ABC/ESPN which means Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland MNF announcing crew ? We don't know that yet. 4 hours 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. It doesn't matter who is bad. Dallas, if they get the crown, will be in the late Sunday slot. Pittsburgh has a huge national following and also will be featured if they get in.

The Pittsburgh and Dallas game had high rating since Dallas and Pittsburgh were in those games. Buffalo historically draws lows rating, even if they didn't at Dallas.

I accepted that trip a while back because she loves it there and I’ve never been. I wasn’t thinking about details! I may have messed up! There will always be other trips. She, of course, has no idea that it’s a HUGE football weekend. Oops! Take her to the Yard House in Newport Center. She can shop, you watch the game. Problem solved! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes joined AFC teams. Lamar and to an extent Allen from the following draft help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Firebaugh Kid Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm a part time solo musician. Lots of weekend gigs. I have had the next two weekends blocked off from booking for months with the word "PLAYOFFS" written in my calendar ❤ So happy to be rewarded. Big party planned at my buddy's house no matter when it is. Cant wait. Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) My spectrum guide has Fox already with the late slot on Saturday night, so probably don't have the Saturday night game. NBC and CBS both have the 4:30 Saturday game, so obviously only one would have that slot Edited December 27, 2019 by Negan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 5 hours ago, egd said: This is false. The NFL decides, in consultation with the teams. Any team can play any day, but the lowest rated game usually is the first game on a Saturday. That would be Buffalo at Houston, most likely. You need to read this forum more to see how NFL TV programming works (need to register first): https://506sports.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0 Buffalo always has low ratings, as does Houston. Green Bay and the NFC East are the big draws, as are New England and Pittsburgh. Because Buffalo draws low ratings. you don’t need to register to see 506 sports maps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 One thing I would bet money on: IF KC wins their wildcard game that means a game in NE in the divisional round I 100% guarantee that NE KC will be the late Sunday game of divisional round. The Ravens Bills game will be early Saturday even though the Ravens are the 1 seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Can I afford to quit? THAT'S the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
