The Saturday Playoff Games and how to watch them

The NFL Playoffs are finally here! This Saturday, we will kick off the playoff matchups with two AFC matchups. The first game will kickoff at 4:30PM ET on CBS, with the 5-seed Los Angeles Chargers, led by quarterback Justin Herbert and head coach Jim Harbaugh, traveling to Houston to face the AFC South championship Houston Texans, led by second-year quarterback C.J Stroud. The primetime and marquee game of the Saturday slate features one of the oldest rivalries in all of football, a true AFC North battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers and their vaunted defense traveling to Baltimore to face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. You can watch the Steelers face the Ravens at 8PM ET on Amazon Prime Video. 

The Sunday Playoff Games and how to watch them

Unlike the Saturday slate, the Sunday slate of playoff football will feature not 2 but 3 games! The first game will take place in Buffalo between the 7-seed Denver Broncos and rookie quarterback Bo Nix, against the heavy favorite Buffalo Bills led by their MVP favorite quarterback Josh Allen. You can watch the Broncos take on the Bills at 1PM ET on CBS. We travel to the NFC for the last 2 games of Sunday playoff football, with the second game taking place between the Green Bay Packers, who were just one game away from making the Superbowl last season, traveling to Philadelphia to face the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles led by their dynamic offense of quarterback Jalen Hurts and superstar running back Saquon Barkley. You can watch the Packers take on the Eagles and the city of Philadelphia at 4:30PM ET on FOX. The last game of the Sunday slate features our second rookie quarterback of the day, the Washington Commanders and rookie of the year favorite Jayden Daniels, against another fan-favorite quarterback in Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what promises to be a shootout. You can watch the Commanders vs the Buccaneers on NBC or Peacock at 8:30PM ET.

The Monday Night Football Matchup

The Monday Night Football matchup is fittingly, one of if not the best game of the first round of the NFL Playoffs. The 5 seeded Minnesota Vikings, who were one game away from being the 1 seed of the NFC, travel to LA to face former Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. You can watch this explosive NFC affair at 8PM ET on ESPN or ABC!
