Taken from this thread from last year (and updated info for 2013):

2011 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/11) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/10), 2nd Game Hint (1/4/11)
2010 (Kickoff Date: 1/9/10) = 1st Game Hint (12/24/09), 2nd Game Hint (1/6/10)
2009 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/09 ) = 1st Game Hint (12/4/08), 2nd Game Hint (12/11/08),
2008 (Kickoff Date: 1/12/08) = 1st Game Hint (12/15/07), 2nd Game Hint (12/21/07), 3rd Game Hint (1/02/08)
2007 (Kickoff Date: 1/13/07) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/06)
2006 (Kickoff Date: 1/7/06) = 1st Game Hint (12/23/05)
2005 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/05) = 1st Game Hint (12/30/04)
2004 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/04) = 1st Game Hint (1/6/04)
Based on this data:
1. On average, a 1st game hint would be released 21 days before Kickoff, which would be December 14th, 2013.
2. On average, a 2nd game hint would be released 15 days before Kickoff, which would be December 20th, 2013.
3. On average, a 3rd game hint would be released 10 days before Kickoff, which would be December 25th, 2013.
4. The most common day for the first hint to be released is also December 21st.
5. The most common day for any hint to be released is also December 21st.
6. The second most common day for any hint to be released is January 6th.
7. 2012 was the first time after 4 years of more than one hint being released.
I actually totally forgot that I even did this research last year...thanks for reminding me!

And I'll add on:
8. The only year that there were 3 game hints was 2008.
9. Out of the past 10 years, there was only more than one game hint for 4 of them (interestingly, these were 4 consecutive years).

My guess for this year's game hint (yes, I think there'll only be one): Friday, December 20th (since December 21st is a Saturday).
