There's no chance we'll see correct #s from this process. There are numerous ways the NFL can rig this:
- They'll inflate the balls with colder air pregame
- They'll measure the balls near the end of halftime (I think this is the most likely)
- They'll measure the balls with a different gauge than they did pregame
- They'll heat the halftime room higher than it was pregame
- They'll state an incorrect temperature for the halftime room
- They'll store the balls in a warmer spot during the first half
I have stopped getting my hopes up for anything good to come out of the NFL offices about the Pats. The results are always worse than our most pessimistic opinions going in.
