Yes, if not 'jetstream' then it's due to United 'blocking' additional time. All airlines pad their schedules and being an afternoon flight, United probably does this due to the fact that everything inherently takes longer in the afternoon. Taxi-way times will increase. Time from gate to takeoff will increase. Time from landing to gate will increase due to traffic/other aircraft / anything really.
