The NFL has set the divisional playoff schedule. The San Francisco 49ers have the primetime slot this Saturday, January 20, at 5 p.m. PT. The Niners are hosting the Green Bay Packers after Jordan Love helped lead an upset against the Dallas Cowboys.
Historically, the 49ers have had success playing on Saturday against the Packers in the playoffs. Robbie Gould’s game-winner in 2022 against the Packers was on a Saturday night. Colin Kaepernick beat the former Super Bowl champion and reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers on a Saturday.
We’re getting ahead of ourselves here, but the NFC Championship game will be on Sunday, January 28, at 3:30 p.
