It's usually announced before, in December. It could be they deliberately timed it this weekend with one of the potential teams playing, or it could even mean it's not the Patriots at all. I'd find it hard to believe the Pats would want this hype on top of the Championship game.
Surprised this wasn't announced sooner to be honest, but I think it had a lot to do with the Jags wanting to make a late application for a spot.
I see. I'd think it would be more a distraction if one of the teams playing this weekend is involved.

I failed to notice also that you're a fan from the UK ... I'm sure it would be pretty exciting for you to have the (Super Bowl Champion) Patriots come on over.
They've been before
It would be the first time it's happened though IF the stars align correctly.
Hopefully it will be the Jets against a team other than the Patriots.
I am not sure how it would be much of a distraction, unless players decided to skip practice to apply for passports.
Its not like BB would cancel film study to spend the day on priceline.com looking for a cheap hotel.

It won't ever be a divisional game. Also the Jets and Patriots both respectably sell out all their home games...the home team would realistically need to be a team which struggles to sell out every game and it would be most beneficial to.
All you true; yet I'd bet if you asked BB his preference on timing of the announcement, he'd pick after Sunday.
He said he hoped that jets were against someone else not that he hoped it would be pats vs jets.
Its been leaked that the Rams are the 'home' team and they will play either the jets our ourselves
Doubt that.
Lets say a reporter does ask him about the timing of the announcement during the next presser....
The more likely reponse from BB is....
A) I would prefer that they would have waited until after Sunday.
Or
B) I am not concerned about that. My focus is the Raven's. They are a good team in all three phases of the game. That is my focus. I am not concerned with next season. Just our next game. The Baltimore Ravens.
My vote is B.
