Predict when Pats will play wild-card weekend

[Miguel]

I am going with Saturday night.

Hope sat afternoon, travelling on Sunday.

I am hoping for Sunday (I wish we would find out soon.) I am hoping to make plans for a Saturday trip to NYC. I can't go to NYC if the game is on Saturday.

I'd love a Saturday night primetime game, but something tells me that would most likely go to a Bengals/Steelers possible matchup.

 

[PatsRI]

My guess that the Giants will play the prime time game. I say the Pats go Saturday afternoon which will be fine with me.

 

[oldrover]

The least desirable time. It's the least interesting nationally of all the potential wild card games (not to us, of course).

I think I saw an ABC promo during MNF talking about how they would carry both AFC games on Saturday the 7th.

 

[AFPatsFan12]

I'm fairly sure that the Pats will either have to play the Saturday or Sunday 4 PM slot. Last year's wild-card weekend was an NFC game at 4 on Saturday (Seahawks/Rams), an AFC game at 8 (Jets/Chargers), an AFC Game at 1 Sunday (Broncos/Colts) and an NFC Game at 4 (Packers/Vikings), and these alternate yearly. So this year's wild card weekend will be AFC-NFC-NFC-AFC, the divisional round will be NFC-AFC-AFC-NFC (opposite of last year), and the conf. championships will be AFC-NFC

If the Pats make it to the AFC title game I dodged a bullet. I'm at a wedding on the 21st! Man that would have sucked..

 

[oldrover]

Those MSNBC dates, if correct, would suck, only because it would mean two straight short weeks (Jets-Miami, Miami-Jax).

There has been a Sat night game in recent years but never a Sunday night game. The Championship game and Super Bowl have a 6 start. In the first two rounds it has always been 12:30 and 4 on Sunday. I doubt with Monday not being a holiday there would be a Sunday night game in the WC round.

We will be 1 feature game and the Giants the other meaning either 8 on Sat or 4 on Sunday.
