Wildcard Playoff TV Guide
(The Spread) – What time are all the playoff games this weekend in the NFL? Read our 2011 NFL Playoffs Wildcard Round TV Viewing Guide to find out.
This weekend’s action in the NFL gets kicked off with a NFC Wildcard matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks at 4:30PM ET on NBC. The Seahawks clinched the NFC West and a postseason berth on the final day of the regular season by beating the Rams 16-6. Now they have a date with the defending Super Bowl champions on their home field.
According to current NFL playoff odds and oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Seahawks are 10.5-point home underdogs against the Saints this Saturday. The over/under total for this game is currently 44.5 points.
In the late game on Saturday, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts will host Rex Ryan’s New York Jets at 8:20PM ET on NBC. Ryan has already stirred things up this week in the media, stating that “it’s personnel” with Manning (who is 5-1 against Ryan-led defenses) and the rest of the Colts.
Oddsmakers have installed the Colts as 2.5-point favorites, while the over/under total has opened at 44.5.
The early game on Sunday will feature the Baltimore Ravens and one of the NFL’s biggest playoff surprises, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens are currently 1-point favorites for Sunday’s game, but that line could rise once the public starts to place their bets. The Chiefs struggled mightily against the Raiders in Week 17 and public bettors may start jumping off their bandwagon.
In the final Wildcard game of the weekend, Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles will host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles are 2.5-point favorites over the Packers, while the over/under total has opened at 46 points.
The Ravens and Chiefs game is slated for 1:00PM ET on CBS, while the Packers-Eagles contest will kickoff at 4:30PM ET on FOX.
