Doesn't it rotate by seeds? Last year, NFC 5 vs 4 game was the first game. This year I think it'll be AFC 6 vs 3 (Pittsburgh at Cincinnati/KC). Next year it would be NFC 6/3 and then the year after it would be AFC 5/4.


I'll have to check the history. I know they always do one game from each conference on each day but I always assumed the time slots depended on TV and time zones.

There's no rhyme or reason to what games are played when. I learned that the hard way when I got married Jan 16 2010 at 2pm

Saints played at the 7-9 Seahawks in the early Saturday spot in 2010. The only other division champ in history with a losing record (last year's Panthers) got that spot last year.

I think this used to be the case when the games were at 12:30 and 4:00. Now that the games have later start times, I don't think this matters as much.

They won't put a home team from the mountain or pacific time zone on the 1:00 pm Sunday game to avoid a 10 or 11am local kick.
