UKBillFan Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Gut feeling for me last week was we needed the Raiders to beat the Chargers so we faced the Pats. Worked out well. Gut feeling now is that we need the Chiefs to beat the Steelers so we go to Arrowhead. Not sure why I think this as it’s not particularly logical!

Just keep on scoring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee plays at home Green Bay plays at home AZ/LA winner plays on Sunday Not true on the last one (unless there was just a recent announcement by the NFL I am unaware of). The Arizona-LA winner could still play next Saturday if the NFL wants to feature Dallas (if they win) at Tampa Bay (if they win) on Sunday (both have huge national followings) and also wants to put an AFC game also on Sunday (Sundays have better TV ratings than Saturday). Probably won't happen, but it could, as the NFL has been known to do stranger things for ratings. Edited January 16, 2022 by chongli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBillFan Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think the Bills will be primetime next week - IMO Josh vs Burrow/Mahomes will be too tempting for the networks to see it play out during the afternoon, especially considering how Josh played yesterday. If it’s right that the Cardinals/Rams will play on Sunday then I imagine, for fairness, the conferences will play on the same day, so the game at Tennessee will be played Saturday afternoon followed by the Bills match up. If seeds 2-4 win in the NFC then I expect Rams at Packers to be the afternoon game on Sunday with Cowboys at the Bucs in the evening.

Interesting. Because in the 506 forum (NFL TV viewership geeks), they are debating the pros and cons of having the winner play Sunday vs. Saturday, and how they should have but an AFC game instead in the MNF wild card slot to avoid this scenario, like Buffalo-New England. As far as I know, it is still up in the air. Do you have a link for this? I apologize if I was wrong.

f0neguy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 For everyone saying the Steelers have no chance I hope you remember that the Colts just lost a “win and you’re in” game against the Jags. Don’t expect them to win but I’m hoping 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone check my math… Steelers need to beat KC tonight and Titans next weekend. Buffalo needs to beat Cincy. Then Pitt would travel to Buffalo for the championship game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not much of a chance, maybe 1 or 2%, but it's a chance! I am looking forward to that game more than any today! If Pittsburgh can keep the score low and close, I'll really enjoy it. If KC blows it wide open early on, it will be unwatchable! 4 hours ago, UKBillFan said: I think the Bills will be primetime next week - IMO Josh vs Burrow/Mahomes will be too tempting for the networks to see it play out during the afternoon, especially considering how Josh played yesterday.

God knows the NFL loves to put Dallas on TV as much as is humanly possibly, even when the team is not good enough to support it, and inPRIME TIME as much as is possible! So I agree Dallas at night.

It was posted in another thread... Two ways: 1. Steelers beat Chiefs and Titans. Bills will host the AFCC in Orchard Park against the Steelers (assuming Bills beat Bengals at home) 2. Bills beat Chiefs and Bengals beat the Titans. Bills will host the AFCC in Orchard Park against the Bengals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I am rooting for the Steelers to pull the upset but I doubt that happens. I don't fear KC but going on the road is always less preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if I was wrong. it was mentioned all across national media when the new schedule came out and they mentioned a Monday night playoff football. I know what 506 is. the issue is competitive advantage which was a complaint by many coaches who had their playoff bound team have to play on Saturday. This is why final week Monday night games ended and they only way the league coukd agree to schedule it is if it was certain the team that wins plays on Sunday. it was a 4-5 game because the other games determine who they play. The logistics of scheduling stuff around the game can’t wait till Tuesday fir Saturday games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEBranch Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The AFC matchups will have smaller cities...I'll bet that the AFC games are the matinee games, but I've usually seen conferences alternate between the two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evian Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just hope the Cincinatti vs Tennessee game is played before the Buffalo vs Kansas City game. If Cincinatti beats Tennessee we will be playing Kansas City with an AFC Title game in Orchard Park on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
