Wild Card Weekend

Saturday, Jan. 4:
No. 5 Buffalo Bills at No. 4 Houston Texans, 4:35 p.m. (ESPN/ABC)
No. 6 Tennessee Titans at No. 3 New England, 8:15 p.m. (CBS)

Sunday, Jan. 5:
No. 6 Minnesota Vikings at No. 3 New Orleans Saints, 1:05 p.m. (FOX)
No. 5 Seattle Seahawks at No. 4 Philadelphia Eagles, 4:40 p.m. (NBC)

I was right that the NFL would put the Patriots in prime time (and on CBS which helps confirm my theory that the NFL has an arrangement to make sure there is a Patriots home playoff game every year so the CBS sports bar at Gillette Stadium has an extra pay date) but I was wrong to presume that would put the other AFC game involving the Texans on Sunday.

Breaking with tradition, the NFL is having both AFC games on Saturday and both NFC games on Sunday.

Vikings and Saints....I think I've seen that playoff matchup before.
