Listen, athletes are creatures of habit, it's just something that gives them comfort on stressful days. It gives you some control on game day when things aren't going to be under your control. I'm no different.
On game days, I wake up at 6:30am, turn on TSN1050 for my Leafs radio talk, shower, brush my teeth, and get dressed. At 7:00am, I drive down to the stadium and get ready for breakfast. On game days I always have one grilled cheese, one english muffin with cream cheese, and a glass of milk. After eating, I go and run for 20 minutes to get my juices flowing. At 9:00am, I meet Joilet for some route running. For an hour, he calls routes, I run them, and he throws it. At 10:30am, I play Oles in Madden for one game. I'm the Cowboys and he's the Ravens. At 11:00am, we meet with our quarterback Joilet to talk strategy against our opponent. At 12:00pm, we all get geared up and go on the field for pre-game warm ups. Game starts at 1:00pm and we're ready to go.
Everything is regimented from the time I wake up right until game day. This procedure is the exact same no matter the start time for the game. If it's a 4:00pm, I start at 9:30am and if it's an 8:30pm start, I start at 2:00pm. This game day routine takes the guessing out of my day. I knew exactly what I'm going to do so I don't have to waste time thinking about it and I can just focus on the game.
