NE at Baltimore flexed to SNF

Bengals vs Dolphins now at 1 pm.

Week 16 must not have very desirable matchups?

 

Edit: there are actually a couple that seem to be better.

I think the issue is some games are protected by the TV networks

If the Bengals beat the Ravens this week it could be an elimination game for Baltimore.

Baltimore tends to play well at home during night games (although not this Thanksgiving) so let's hope that continues. If we don't beat the Pats, we might be rooting for them to keep the Ravens out.

Cool.  If Pats lose this game, gives us the chance to win the division with even 12 wins.

Pats need to lose one of their last two also to either Jets or Fish. If we win 3 of last 4 and lose Eagles game, we'd still win division then with 12 wins.  If NE gets to 13 wins, we can't win the division.

Good!

 

Hope it goes to OT & they lose.

Pats fans can go to bed tired and cranky, then to go to their miserable jobs with a hangover.

I'm guessing that Dallas was too big of a market to be flexed from SNF this week? Considering Minnesota are not in the playoff hunt at all for the NFC North or WC.

Wow that CBS 1pm slate is dreadful.

 

Bills/Browns

Bengals/Dolphins

Jets/Saints

Chiefs/Titans

 

I would guess Chiefs/Titans gets the widest exposure but holy moly, what a bunch of miserable games.

Since the Bills are playing I don’t care that much about other games in the same time slot. Actually, I’d rather have good games not in the Bills time slot.

1 more good game from Shaduer this week maybe it’s us vs the Browns.

Great news for me. This will like ensure Bills/Browns will be on Boston CBS.

They’ve been the top draw for ratings over 50 years running. They’re still “America’s Team” in that regard.

This is incorrect.  If Pats lose to either the Jets or Miami, 13 wins get us the division.

Guess those shopping carts will have to find their own way back to the front of the grocery store on Monday.

Hypothetically if we go undefeated the rest of the way and the pats lose to us and either jets/dolphins and we both are 13-4, you’re saying we’d win the division? Just curious what’s the tiebreaker since we’d have the same division record

Correct, we’d win based on better conference record, as we’d split all other tiebreakers before that.
