Contents
Although there are no NFL games this Saturday, there are still plenty of other options for football fans to watch. From the college ranks to the CFL, there is plenty of action to be had. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy some football!
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.
The NFL Schedule
The NFL season is in full swing and there are plenty of games to watch this Saturday. Here’s a look at the NFL schedule for this Saturday.
Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following the Labor Day holiday (the first Monday in September in the United States). Each team plays 16 games during the regular season. Teams are allowed a maximum of four preseason exhibition games, not counting any “special” preseason matchups, such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, which is played at Canton, Ohio, every year.
The schedule for each team is determined by NFL scheduling formulas. Within their conference, teams are placed into divisions of four clubs. They play other division opponents twice (one home game and one away game), common opponents outside of their division once, and two additional games that are determined by their place within their division standings from the previous season – so that a first-place team will play two other first-place teams from other divisions in addition to its six division games – which brings each team’s total number of regular season games played to 16.
Playoffs
The NFL schedule for the playoffs is set, and it’s time to start making your game-watching plans.
The first round of the playoffs will kick off on Saturday, January 5, with two games: the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Houston Texans at 4:35 p.m. ET, followed by the Seattle Seahawks vs. the Dallas Cowboys at 8:15 p.m. ET.
On Sunday, January 6, two more games will be played: the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Baltimore Ravens at 1:05 p.m. ET, and the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Chicago Bears at 4:40 p.m. ET.
The divisional round of the playoffs will be played on Saturday, January 12 and Sunday, January 13. The exact schedule and matchups for that round have not yet been determined, as they will be determined by the results of this weekend’s wild card games.
The conference championships will be played on Sunday, January 20 at 3:00 p.m. ET (AFC) and 6:30 p
Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important American football game of the year. It is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is played between the champion of the NFC (National Football Conference) and the AFC (American Football Conference).
Saturday Games
The answer to this question is a little complicated. The NFL Network will air six live games on Saturday this week, but none of them will be available to everyone. The Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Rams game and the Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills game will be simulcast on both CBS and the NFL Network, but those with NFL Network as part of their cable package will be able to watch three additional games that will not be shown on CBS. If you have NFL RedZone, you’ll be able to watch all six games.
Preseason
During the preseason, NFL teams play four exhibition games. Most of these games are played on Thursdays, but there are also a handful of contests played on Saturdays and Sundays. These games are used as a way for teams to evaluation their talent, especially rookies and second-year players who are trying to make the team. While the starters may play a few series in these games, they typically don’t play more than a quarter or so. Preseason games are not televised nationally, but they are often shown regionally on local television.
Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following the Labor Day holiday (the first Monday in September in the United States). It ends on December 30 or 31, depending on whether or not there is a Sunday night game on New Year’s Eve.
During the regular season, each team plays 16 games, plus one bye week. The bye week is a break for each team during the season, and it occurs at different times for different teams.
There are no Saturday games during the NFL regular season, with the exception of the final week of the season. If necessary, Saturday games may be added to the schedule during the final week in order to ensure that all teams have an equal number of games played.
Playoffs
There will be four NFL playoff games this Saturday, January 12. The first game, the AFC Wild Card game, will start at 4:35pm EST and will feature the AFC South champion Houston Texans hosting the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs. The second game, the NFC Wild Card game, will start at 8:15pm EST and will feature the NFC North champion Seattle Seahawks hosting the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys.
Conclusion
From what we can see, there are no NFL games scheduled for this Saturday. However, there may be some college football games taking place. We would recommend checking the schedule for your specific team to see if they are playing this weekend.
