According to this there will be Monday Night Playoff Games for Wildcard weekend...


Let's just say I'm not a fan of the NFL and their playoff schedule in general, as I've seen too often where a team will play the last game on Sunday and then turn around and have to play the first game the next Saturday (a short week) for a road playoff games against a team that either had a bye, or got to play the Sunday before. So that's two extra days minimum (travel day and extra rest day).


Now they might have even another extra rest day, a team plays on Monday might have a road trip the next Saturday.

Seems kinda BS, also sometimes it seems like the NFL almost randomly selects which game will be played win.

When before they should of done all AFC one day and all NFC the next. That way it's equal rest days.


I know, it's more about money than fairness.

That's the last thing I wanted to hear is more night games!
I despise night games, hopefully the Packers will have all their playoff games on the day shift.
Except for the Super Bowl of course.

I hate Monday night games. For the playoffs double it. NFL Inc and their golden tower are ruining the game as they rake in obscene amounts of money. There is no end to their greed.
