That game I highlighted might a true toss up. Im not sold on Houston and them starting a rookie qb doesnt help. Doesnt mean I wont pick Houston but Im leaning toward Cincy.

Btw, Cincy/Houston? Shades of the old AFC Central battles.

The time for the Bengals game sucks. The Wildcats play at 4pm which means I won't be able to watch most of the game.
 
Interesting that they don't have a primetime game for Sunday. Has it always been like that during Wild-Card Weekend?

only Saturdays gets the primetime game for WC

been like that for a few years now even divisional games Saturday is prime time Sunday is noon and 3:30 start

That's correct. Wild Card Saturday and Divisional Saturday was 12:30 ET and 4:00 ET start times until the 2001 season, when they moved to the current 4:30/8:00. The Sunday games on both weekends were pushed up a half an hour the same season ( 12:30 to 1:00 ET and 4:00 to 4:30 ET).

The conference championships were also 12:30/4:00 ET until they moved to 3:00/6:30 ET following the 2002 regular season.
