The NFL Goes Country For The NFC Championship
Moving to the NFC Championship game – the Seahawks not only have home-field advantage but they are also the favorite to win. Vegas put their odds as -2.5 with an O/U of 47.5. Given how both teams are stacked with talent, they are also two of the least-penalized teams in the NFL.
While shaping up to be a close, clean game, the Seahawks will celebrate the NFC Championship by welcoming country singer Zach Top to the field. Schedule to perform the national anthem, Top won’t be the only country singer at the game. When the teams head to the locker rooms for halftime, Tucker Wetmore will entertain fans with a special performance.
As for the schedule, the NFC Championship will start at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. Giving fans more than one way to watch, the game will be available to stream on Fox One, Hulu + Live TV, and the NFL+ app.
Whether fans are tuning in for the football, the performances, or the history waiting to be made, the NFC and AFC championship weekend sets the stage for one last battle before the road leads to the Super Bowl.
