NFL playoff schedule 2017: Divisional round game times, TV Schedule, scores, channel, open thread

The wild card round was mostly a bust, with some easy wins by all four home favorites, but now we are back with a chance at some better football. The 2017 NFL playoffs continue on Saturday with the divisional round. With all four high seeds advancing, maybe this will create some better quality football this weekend.

There is a significant change in the schedule already. The Kansas City Chiefs were set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with kickoff scheduled for 10:05 a.m. PT. However, inclement weather this weekend has resulted in the NFL pushing back the kickoff to 5:20 p.m. to give the city more time to clear roads.

The biggest favorite this weekend is the New England Patriots, who are laying 15 points against the Houston Texans. The Chiefs are a slim 1.5-point home favorite against the Steelers. Then you’ve got the Falcons and Cowboys as four- and 4.5-point favorites. All I’m asking for this weekend is two good games. Give me one good game each day, and I’ll be happy.

Watch via Online Stream: NBC and CBS will be streaming their games online for free. FOXand ESPN will also be streaming their games, but will require users to have a subscription.
