"Why does the NFL force the Packers to play on a short week?
The Ravens are also on a short week, which would be another reason why the Steelers are rightfully favored (and I'm a Ravens fan).

I believe that’s the price a team pays for making it to the Wild Card game as opposed to wining a playoff spot outright.

You know it’s not like they have a bunch of west coast teams mucking this up, if it had to do with travel or different time zones I’d understand. Your game should be the late Sunday game.

Steelers-Ravens is going to be a war. I'm figuring that there won't be much left other than a fine red mist hanging over the field after the game.
Ditto the Pats-Jets. IF GB winds up playing the Bears next week (a good possibility), that'll be a war, too. None of these teams like each other very much.
The Super Bowl might be played by the practice squads.
