NFL sets schedule for Divisional round matchups

The NFL has set the times and dates for its Divisional round games

The NFC games are set. The AFC contests in the Divisional round hinge on the outcome of the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers game.

That didn’t prevent the NFL from getting a jump on telling the world when the games will be played since we know where they will take place.

The Green Bay Packers will play host to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday in the 4:35 kickoff on FOX. That means the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to New Orleans to meet the Saints in the late game on Sunday, a 6:40 p.m. kick on FOX,

In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills will face either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens Saturday on NBC at 8:15 ET. The Kansas City Chiefs will meet either the Cleveland Browns or Baltimore Ravens with a 3:05 p.m. Eastern kick on Sunday.

NFL playoff schedule 2019: Divisional-round schedule and matchups set

The wild-card round of the 2019 NFL playoffs is over, meaning we know who will move on to the divisional round schedule.

The 2019 NFL playoffs have begun and there were some great games in the wild-card round. But with the winners decided, we now know who is moving on to the divisional round.

In the AFC, the Tennessee Titans dismantled the New England Patriots, 20-13. Thanks to a powerful rushing attack led by running back Derrick Henry, the Titans will move on to play the Baltimore Ravens next on the playoff schedule.

The Houston Texans came back from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter to edge out the Buffalo Bills, 22-19. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got the job done through the air (20-of-25 for 247 yards, one touchdown pass and no interceptions) as well as on the ground (14 attempts for 55 yards and a touchdown) and will go up against the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.

Take a look at the 2019 divisional-round schedule below to see when each team is playing this weekend.

NFL divisional playoff schedule:

Saturday, Jan 11

4:35 p.m. ET: Vikings at 49ers
8:15 p.m. ET: Titans at Ravens

Sunday, Jan. 12

The Ravens are currently favorites over the Titans by quite a lot. And with a win over Tennessee, Baltimore will host the winner of Houston vs. Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. From there, it’s just one more win from Super Bowl LIV.
