The reason behind ESPN/ABC
http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-re...irst-time-abc/ It will be the MNF crew just simulcast on ABC. |

Seems odd that both AFC games are Saturday and both NFC games are Sunday. I don't recall that from previous years, maybe it has been that way before.

Now NBC & ESPN have 1st round games, so it doesn't matter. If the Chiefs game runs long on ESPN, it's not going to cut into the 2nd game on CBS. |

didn't want to put either team from the late game sunday on the "short week" saturday lineup. just so happens BOTH of them in the playoffs, covering BOTH nfc games, kinda screwed up the usual formula of one game per conference per day. not a biggie imo.

It also helps having the AFC games on the same days as it gives no advantage to teams that would play on Sunday instead of Saturday....

Also, brutal time for the Seahawks too. They have to play at 10AM their time. And the forecast right now for Minneapolis is for it to be brutally cold on Sunday.

And if the Seahawks manage to win that game, they have to turn around and fly across the country to play 10AM the next week at Carolina. If they win the NFC again they'll have earned it.

Phew...I can make that one work. If it'd be Sunday, I would have missed it.

A bit strange this year. I called Pittsburgh getting the Saturday night game... but both AFC games are on the same day. The usually mix it up.
Guess it doesn't matter since ESPN has one game and NBC has another. |
