No weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high. Even a 99% probability will miss 1% of the time. That's the best anybody can do when predicting highly complex events. -

Interesting that Indy's hopes for a Patriots loss (for playoff seeding purposes) apparently trump our perceived Manning love. Indy will be getting the BUF/NE game instead of DEN/OAK at 4:25 on CBS.
Assuming that the Colts beat the Jaguars, that pick makes sense even if the Bills' chances for a win seem slight. But I wonder if it would have been a different story if Manning were still going for the TD record.
I also assume that they can't make a last-minute switch if the Jaguars somehow upset the Colts (which isn't impossible) or if the Bengals win at 1:00 (which would leave the Colts with no shot at the bye).No weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high.

That is a bit surprising since there is the danger of New England getting a big lead early and people start tuning out. If Denver was up 56-3, people would still keep the game on around here just to watch Peyton play.Originally posted by Ren Butler View Post
This is probably the best week of the year to have Sunday ticket. I would love to be able to flip back and forth between the Colts and the Bengals games.I also assume that they can't make a last-minute switch if the Jaguars somehow upset the Colts (which isn't impossible) or if the Bengals win at 1:00 (which would leave the Colts with no shot at the bye).
Is it safe to assume that we'll be getting CHI/GRB at 4:00 on WXIN? I can't imagine that any consideration would be given to any of the other games.Comment

Matthews out for the Bears game.
Rodgers questionable.

They can still make an in-game switch outside the New England/Buffalo markets, if needed. But they would have to switch it for ALL other markets receiving BUF/NE, which includes almost everybody east of the Appalachains, plus most of IN/OH/KY. Unfortunately, neither CBS nor FOX is equipped to make any market-by-market switches on game day. Each game has one constant feed for the markets local to each team playing, and a national feed that can be switched as needed.Originally posted by jackinbox View Post
Long story short, they can still switch most BUF/NE viewers to DEN/OAK (or KC/SD, which will be meaningful for the Chargers) if BUF/NE becomes a blowout. But they can't switch until the second half, if the lead is 17+, and as long as the switched-to game isn't ahead in the number of ad breaks aired.
Yeah, I'll be at the Colts game this year though. I do hope to watch the 4:25 games on Sunday Ticket. There will be a lot at stake, mostly in the NFC at that time.Originally posted by jackinbox View Post
It's still listed as TBD, but it's a lead-pipe lock that Indy will get GB/CHI at 4:25.Originally posted by jackinbox View PostNo weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high.

Posted at ESPN five minutes ago:
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers took the first snaps during every drill in the portion of Thursday’s Green Bay Packers' practice that was open to reporters.
While there was no official word on whether Rodgers has been medically cleared to return from his broken collarbone, the first snap in drills typically goes to the starter.
It should be noted, however, that those snaps all came during individual drills. No team (11-on-11) drills were conducted during the portion open to reporters.No weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high.

I suppose there is a regulation against it, but from a technical standpoint WISH could switch to the feed of the Broncos game during a commercial break. It's probably irrelevant anyway since I would bet that the BUF/NE game will be much closer than DEN/OAK.Originally posted by Ren Butler View PostComment

CBS doesn't allow affiliates to do anything like that. All the affiliates can do is ask for a certain game at the beginning of the week. That decision, and everything that happens from noon to 7:30 on game day, is the sole decision of CBS.Originally posted by jackinbox View PostNo weather forecasts are ever guaranteed, even if confidence level is high.
