The NFL playoffs are always a shining light during the dimmest of winter month that is January. This year’s format repeats the added fun of having six Wild Card games instead of four with games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The full NFL playoff schedule leading to Super Bowl XL will deliver great traffic as always and will keep your guests engaged for five more weeks, including the Pro Bowl.

So, let’s dig in and see what’s on tap for this year’s NFL tournament run.

The Wild Card Weekend is always as the name implies, a wild card. There can be great games and there can be blow-outs. With six games over three days, there’s no shortage of excitement surrounding the first round of playoffs. Sunday is especially great with three games all played during the standard schedule time for regular season action.  There is also a game exclusively on PRIME which is great for any guests that don’t buy PRIME should be happy to hit your place to watch the action.

Once the first weekend is over, you need only wait six more days for the next round which are the Divisional Playoffs. These are on Saturday later afternoon/evening and Sunday at the regular game slots. Once those quarterfinals are done you get the best of the playoffs with the Conference Championship games. These are only on Sunday and are nearly always great games to watch.

Of course, the Super Bowl on February 8th is your best opportunity to finish with a bang from any season in sports. From selling exclusive seating to special programs for food, this is a holiday like non-other in the sports-themed restaurant world. So, have a great day saying thank you to your guests for another amazing football season, and as always, let us know how you did.
