re: Is there any doubt that a potential KC/HOU game will be Saturday Afternoon?

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.

Good point. I don't think it matters for wild card weekend anyway. The home teams are Houston, Cincy, Washington, and the Green Bay-Minnesota winner. That means they don't have to consider time zones. They can just give the best games the best slots.
