It is Game 3 vs Game 7, more or less established franchise vs almost complete unknown, and NBC of 2014 vs NBC of 2011. As for buzz, Constantine's facebook page has over 2 million likes, which is something I have never seen for a new show (both The Flash and Gotham had something around 1 million immediately before premieres and those were way above average).
