What is the chance Miami / Tennessee get the National 1pm game on CBS ? Looks like Cincinnati / Kansas City is the other big game and I assume it will get the slot. Do they make the decision by popularity or whichever games will affect the playoff positions at this point in the season ? I'm out of market, I can still watch the game it is just easier when it is broadcase Nationally instead of changing my YouTube TV location.

I think you are right about KC/Cinci - Mahomes is already a mega ratings draw I'm sure, and Burrow coming off a 500 yard game - that's hard to match. But if any game has a shot, it's ours. 7 game win streak, and "revenge" story line - even if it's total BS - helps.

It will be the Chiefs/Bengals game for sure. Just look at all the firepower in that game. Plus both teams have a lot at stake as well. The Chiefs are playing for the #1 seed and the Bengals can clinch the division with a win. The Dolphins and Titans are similar in that they both have boring offenses. I have YouTube TV as well and will be stuck with the Texans/49ers game locally. But it doesn't matter to me since I just watch the Redzone Channel.

It's also possible they move the Patriots/Dolphins game to Saturday, Jan 8th. ESPN is airing two games that day. One at 4:30 est and one at 8:00 est. The games won't be announced until after this weekend's games.
