Numbers Time: TV Scheduling At Its Finest

GAMES THAT DON'T MATTER

You'll notice all of these are AFC games. The AFC is pretty clearly set for the most part. Three of seven slots are firmly locked in place, and four teams are guaranteed a spot. The rest is housekeeping. On the NFC side, every game matters, and every division has some intrigue.

SATURDAY


Baltimore clinched the #1 slot and the bye, so the Steelers are hoping they sit their starters. Pittsburgh NEEDS to win to even have a chance at making the playoffs.

Then I realized there’s a bunch of movies on 1997 list I really like, so I folded them in to make my own Top 110 list of all the movies I’ve seen on both lists combined. It’s formatted like it so because of where I copied the lists from, but it works nicely to make the distinction.
