Playoff TV Schedule

[Warner2BruceTD]

Looks like it's pretty easy to figure out.

HOU/CIN is a terrible game, maybe the driest and least desirable NFL playoff game in decades. It's a virtual lock to be buried Sun 12:30.

PIT/TEBOW looks like the marquee game, with a big time team like PIT, and of course, TEBOW. This game will get the prime spot of Sat 7.

This leaves the two NFC games. I'd say it's a safe bet that the league would prefer either DAL or NYG in the Sun 5 slot. So that leaves NO/DET for Sat 3:30

SAT 3:30 - Det @ NO
SAT 7 - Pit @ TEBOW

SUN buried - Cin @ Hou
SUN late - Atl @ NYG/Dal

Preview of Pitt vs Denver

[NAHSTE]

I think Detroit-NO gets the Saturday night game, only because there is a secret provision post-Katrina that stipulates that the league gives New Orleans as many primetime home games as possible.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Don't forget that TEBOW is the only west of Central time zone home team, so the late SAT fits for that reason, too.

[Point Blank]

I hope Atlanta gets Sat. night.

[GoChargers]

Lions @ Saints will be awesome.

[Houston]

Could go either way, but NO didn't make playoff noise last year and Detroit have never been. I think Tebow vs a team that played in last years superbowl gets the nod.

Well I got all of this wrong.

NAHSTE nailed the Saints/Lions for Saturday night. TEBOW gets the late Sunday (#2) spot. Since they went Saints/Lions Sat, that meant they had to use an AFC game early, so the ATL/NYG game gets the death spot on SUN morning.

[NAHSTE]

I'm fine with getting the shit early Sunday slot. Gets it over with quickly one way or another so I can adjust my boozing levels accordingly.

[Houston]

Early Saturday game is what I want!

[krulmichael]

Saturday Night Primetime.

[nflman2033]

yeah I am expecting a shootout next Saturday night with the Lions in New Orleans.

[mgoblue2290]

Damn, I'll be working. I'll be spending in the bar "doing stuff" on Saturday night. I should be able to catch the 4th quarter at least.

[Cornelius]

I'd rather watch Cinci/Houston than Denver/Pitt. Denver/Pitt is going to be over before the second half. I feel like Cinci/Houston will be a close game.
