Rams lost, so we get rematch with Bucs.

IMO, this is as winnable a wild-card game as there is.

The NFL’s “Super” wild card weekend schedule has been set, with kickoff times, matchups and TV networks for the six playoff games now official.

Here’s how the first weekend of the 2025 NFL playoffs will look:

Saturday, January 11, 2025
4:30 p.m. ET: Chargers at Texans (CBS)
8 p.m. ET: Steelers at Ravens (Prime)

Sunday, January 12, 2025
1 p.m. ET: Broncos at Bills (CBS)
4:30 p.m. ET: Packers at Eagles (Fox)
8 p.m. ET: Commanders at Buccaneers (NBC/Peacock)

Monday, January 13, 2025
8 p.m. ET: Lions or Vikings at Rams (ESPN/ABC)

It’s probably going to be Vikings at Rams; as Lions are beating Vikings 31-9 with 5:14 to go.

Monday night playoff games pssh.

Another night time playoff game in Tampa. Good luck to us.

My Wild Card Round Predictions:

Saturday, January 11, 2025
4:30 p.m. ET: Chargers at Texans (CBS) Chargers
8 p.m. ET: Steelers at Ravens (Prime) Ravens

Sunday, January 12, 2025
1 p.m. ET: Broncos at Bills (CBS) Bills
4:30 p.m. ET: Packers at Eagles (Fox) Eagles
8 p.m. ET: Commanders at Buccaneers (NBC/Peacock) Commanders

This season was a solid success for Harris, AP, DQ, and JD5. Anything else is whipped cream on top. Who isn’t having fun yet?
