NFL Playoff Game Start Times - Wild Card Weekend (1 Viewer)

[QuizGuy66]

Okay, so being a Bengals fan I'm not really used to the whole going to the playoffs thing.

I'm planning to fly to Cincy, but I'm thinking that depending on what the potential game times are I might be able to fly in early Sat AM as opposed to staying 2 or even 3 nights in a hotel.

Are the Saturday games always 4ish and 8ish on Wild Card weekend?

Are the Sunday games always 1ish and 4:30ish?

Don't wanna mess up by planning the wrong flights.

Thx!

Im pretty sure that is correct...

 

[Please See Mine]

that is right and I think that Cincy will almost surely be the Saturday 4:30 game.

Just wondering, why would they be the Saturday 4:30 game? They still have a shot for the 3 seed don't they?

What does that have to do with it?Cincy-Pittsburgh was a 3-6 in 2005 and that was at 4:30, as I recall. (edit: or not. )

i'm still not sure that the seeding matters, though. In 2003, Carolina was a 3 and appears to have played in the 4:30 game.

Wouldn't location and time zone have something to do with it too?

All about TV and what teams they want in the best slots.

only thing that matters is not to play a game in Mountain or Pacific in the Sunday 1 ET slot.All 3 other games were played in the West in the past 2 years.

I'm guessing the Pats might get the Saturday night game since they are a big draw. I'm guessing Cinci will probably get the 1 PM game on Sunday.

This. plus Krafty Bob has big pull with the NFL.Only way the Pats don't get Sat night is if one of the NY teams makes it. Only other team I see with the Sat game might be Philly.

Isn't 4:30 on Saturday when they usually put the smallest market? I guess it could be Green Bay, but I thought they usually make them the 1 on Sunday.

My best guesses:

CIN 4:30 SAT

AZ 8:00 SAT

PHI/DAL/MIN 1:00 SUN

NE 4:00 SUN

Thanks guys. Now I have to decide if I gamble on an early early morning Saturday flight or if I play it safe and do Friday Night.
