The 2021 regular season, the first with an 18-week schedule, is finally in the books. The NFL powered through injuries and the ongoing pandemic to reach the finish line and now the playoffs are here.
The structure is fairly similar to last year, except this year will feature a Monday Night Football broadcast in the Wild Card round — featuring the Arizona Cardinals traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Rams in the inaugural broadcast.
Here’s the TV broadcast for the Wild Card round:
SATURDAY
4:30 EST: Raiders @ Bengals (NBC)
8:15 EST: Patriots @ Bills (CBS)
SUNDAY
1:05 EST: Eagles @ Buccaneers (FOX)
4:30 EST: 49ers @ Cowboys (CBS)
8:15 EST: Steelers @ Chiefs (NBC)
MONDAY
8:15 EST: Cardinals @ Rams (ESPN/ABC)
Let’s get into some predictions!
An NFL postseason bracket unlike any before!
