The reason the 49ers will get two extra days' rest before the divisional round has nothing to do with the NFL favoring them.
took to Twitter over the weekend to decry a competitive advantage for the Niners, who will get a little more than two days' extra rest by virtue of playing in the Saturday morning window while their opponent plays Monday evening of wild card weekend.
Following the playoff expansion to 14 teams in 2020 — a move that eliminated a bye for the NFC and AFC 2-seeds — the NFL moved one of the wild card weekend games to Monday in 2021. Last season that Monday night winner had six days' rest to the Bucs' seven days' rest in the divisional round. This year, the 49ers will enter with eight days' rest to their opponent's six.tweeting
"So, the winner of the Tampa/Dallas game will play the 49ers who will have had TWO days of extra rest… Make that make sense to me." "Two days might not sound like much to the casual fan. But let me tell you at this time of the season ever hour of recovery matters," hePrior to the playoff expansion, extra rest was seemingly a pretty big deal. From 2012-2019, every single Super Bowl participant had received a first round bye by virtue of being a one- or two-seed. The last team to make it that far without a bye was the 2012 Baltimore Ravens.
