I think they should have it the Saturday before the Super Bowl.

I know they don't want to "drag it out". But we are talking two teams. Plus, they would be plenty rested. Unfortunately, the sorry NFL keeps pushing the Super Bowl back. Well into February now.

OTOH, I'd rather the title game be played on New Years Day.

8:30 or even 9:00 on a Friday night would work out for both coasts.

Friday night is a no go because the networks don't want to impact
