Does anyone know how the NFL decides on which teams play Saturday and Sunday? I'm looking to find out if the Hawks are going to play on Saturday or Sunday of the divisional round. Work has me traveling to OKC so I gotta figure out how I'm going to pull of watching the game.

Based on ratings as much as anything.

I believe sutz is correct. Bungals have been the first game on Sat. the last 2 seasons I assume because their ratings are never very good.

I thought it might have to do with seeding.

Well, one thing you can bank on. They'll be played at 1:00pm local time.

(Well, it's almost a certainty.)

It's tough to say....

It's looking more and more like Saints @ Seahawks and 49ers @ Panthers divisional weekend....assuming that the Seahawks get the #1 seed.

I think the #1 seed gets the game on Sunday. Last year, the Falcons/Seahawks was on Sunday and the year before Giants/Packers on Sunday.

The 49ers have been #2 seeds the last two seasons and played the conference #3 seed in both occasions.....both times, Saturday night.
