NFL Week 10 Sunday Schedule: CBS has only late games due to the Masters

A bizarre quirk of scheduling is taking place today across the NFL. Because the Masters golf tournament is taking place this weekend and concludes with the final round this afternoon, CBS — which airs that tournament — is not showing a single football game in the early afternoon time slot today.

Instead, that network has just three games today, all of which will kick off at 3:05 PM Central. Of those games, the most widely-distributed contest pits the 7-2 Buffalo Bills against the 5-3 Arizona Cardinals in what should be an exciting inter-conference matchup.

FOX, therefore, gets to air early games against the end of the Masters, showing five games that kick off at 12 noon Central time. The Green Bay Packers’ matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars is one of the early games, but with four other contests taking place, it will not be on local television in large swaths of the country.

The late games on FOX should be intriguing, however, with the Seahawks’ visit to play the Rams being arguably the best matchup. Then Sunday Night Football wraps up the day with the Ravens at the Patriots — a game that would be well worthy of prime time in years past but which loses a bit of luster given the Pats’ decline this fall.

Join us throughout Sunday as we follow along with all of today’s action! (And if you want, you can discuss the day’s golf as well.)
