Tom Brady press conference about to start.
Not that we'll get anything interesting.
I know. I was reacting to the other poster who said DC home market is getting Buffalo/Giants. Maybe Richmond, but not close in.That's normal when the home team has a 1:00 game -- the other network is often forced to carry just the late game
I thought they were finally changing that so that everybody would get 3 games.That's normal when the home team has a 1:00 game -- the other network is often forced to carry just the late game
Me too... something must have changed between May and now. Or maybe the rule doesn't kick in for another season?I thought they were finally changing that so that everybody would get 3 games.
As explained by Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, that means that all broadcast markets will get at least three games in the Sunday windows.
So if, for example, you’re a Miami Dolphins fan living in Dallas and both the Dolphins and Cowboys are playing at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and Fox, you’ll get to see both games.
In the past, the Dolphins game would have been blacked out in the Dallas market.
This is a boon for fans who don’t want to shell out for Sunday Ticket and DirecTV, and those who live in markets that have multiple teams, like greater Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, New York or the Bay Area.
And if you follow the link inside the article to Ben Fisher, you get to his tweet thread that has this caveat.Me too... something must have changed between May and now. Or maybe the rule doesn't kick in for another season?

Sounds like Philip Dorsett is going to put up another 2 TD game ...
Cannon LP??Thursday injury report
DNP-none
LP-Cannon, Bolden, LaCosse
FP-none
He was yesterday as well. Most likely stretched and warmed up with the team but did not do anything else. I wouldn't expect him to play given Marshall Newhouse is here.Cannon LP??
I don't expect him to play either but gives me hope he will be out < 4-6 weeksHe was yesterday as well. Most likely stretched and warmed up with the team but did not do anything else. I wouldn't expect him to play given Marshall Newhouse is here.
When I went to college in North Adams this was a major problem, however around 2013-2014 we started getting two CBS affiliates; the Albany outlet and now WBZ, so we were able to get pretty much every Pats game.
For what it's worth, the analytics person NFL Network/.com uses has a model/sim tool that gave the Pats an 86% chance to win (aka, Dolphins have a 14% chance).If you truly believe the Dolphins have a 16% chance to win outright, you should bet them heavy. The Pats -19 line converts to an almost certainty of a Pats win.(-16 points is a 98.5% win probability)
The consensus money line is Dolphins +1200, Pats -3000
good luck
but GO PATS
How much of that 14% do we think is simply a function of the shape of the ball such that it takes weird bounces?For what it's worth, the analytics person NFL Network/.com uses has a model/sim tool that gave the Pats an 86% chance to win (aka, Dolphins have a 14% chance).
I think it is more the % chance that the PSI gets over 13.5 and the Pats get busted / forfeitHow much of that 14% do we think is simply a function of the shape of the ball such that it takes weird bounces?
That would be fucking brilliant to intentionally inflate all the balls to the absolute max in an A/C environment and then ask the refs to check them at halftime.I think it is more the % chance that the PSI gets over 13.5 and the Pats get busted / forfeit
I forget what were the changes after DFG. Does the home team have complete control over the balls now? I thought it was still each team provides their bag of 24-48 balls that they've broken in to the QB's liking for examination still.That would be fucking brilliant to intentionally inflate all the balls to the absolute max in an A/C environment and then ask the refs to check them at halftime.
Too bad it’s Miami who gets to doctor the balls.
I'm still waiting for the results of the pressure measurement tests the NFL conducted after Deflategate.I forget what were the changes after DFG. Does the home team have complete control over the balls now? I thought it was still each team provides their bag of 24-48 balls that they've broken in to the QB's liking for examination still.
K-balls are still they get 3 hours to rough them up to the kickers liking.
I think you are correct. That’s why the interception was key.I forget what were the changes after DFG. Does the home team have complete control over the balls now? I thought it was still each team provides their bag of 24-48 balls that they've broken in to the QB's liking for examination still.

50%? We know the Pats are the better team, but one fumble and one INT can make it a game, and those are flukey.How much of that 14% do we think is simply a function of the shape of the ball such that it takes weird bounces?
This guy gets itI think the Pats D will outscore MIA this week. If all NE did was kneel, punt and play D I'd still take them in a pickem.
Let's not forget PIT OL is very good and NE got little pressure on Ben last week despite lighting it up in the pre-season. That won't happen again this week.
I'd take over 6 sacks and under 7 pts allowed on Sunday. The one guy who might have been able to take a short pass a long distance was Albert Wilson and he is out.
