DraftKings, FanDuel, or whatever betting app you use—they list the correct time. Use it. But don’t trust your buddy Dave. He’ll tell you “it’s at 1” when it’s actually 4:25, and you’ll miss the first quarter while he’s still buying nachos. Dave’s a good guy, but his time zone is “whimsical.”
Also, remember: Daylight Saving Time ends in November. That 1:00 PM game suddenly feels like noon after the clocks fall back. Your DVR might blip. You’ve been warned.
A Final, Friendly Reminder
The Detroit Lions play on Sunday most Sundays, but not all. They’ll have a bye week, a Thursday night game, or a Monday night disaster. The only guaranteed Sunday game? Thanksgiving. That’s always a Thursday, but it feels like a Sunday, so it counts.
So here’s your action plan: grab your phone, open the Lions website, and screen shot the next three weeks. Set an alarm. Tell Dave to stop texting you at the last second. You’ve got this. Now go enjoy the game—and stop worrying about what time it is. I’ll be doing the same, probably yelling at the refs through a mouthful of chips.
