@Wheelman -- where are you? Here's a post from a thread a couple weeks ago,
How can out of state fans watch the Pats in 2014, in regards to what Pats games will or won't be available on broadcast television.
Week 1, Patriots at Miami (early)
Will NOT be available in Baltimore, Jacksonville, KC, Ohio, NYC, NJ, PA, NoCal, TN
Should be available in Tampa, Buffalo. May be available in other markets such as GA, LA.
Top competition for other CBS games are Cin-Bal and Cle-Pit
Week 2, Patriots at Minnesota (early)
Will NOT be available in Atlanta, Cincy, Jacksonville, Washington, Miami, Buffalo, Tenn, Cle, NYC, and Carolina markets
It's a CBS doubleheader; Pats' game main competition for other neutral areas is Atlanta-Cincy.
Week 3, Oakland at Patriots (early)
Will NOT be available in Bal, Buf, Cin, Cle, Det, Hous, Indy, Jax, NYC, NO, Phil, SD, StL, Tenn markets
Another CBS DH; no compelling early matchups for neutral markets
Week 4, Patriots at Kansas City
Monday night game, available everywhere on ESPN
Week 5, Cincinnati at Patriots
Sunday night game, available everywhere on NBC
Week 6, Patriots at Buffalo (early)
Will NOT be available in Atl, Bal, Cle, Cin, Den, Jax, Mia, Min, NYC, Pitt, Tampa, Tenn markets
This game historically gets no distribution outside of the stations that always broadcast the Pats' and Bills' games. Neutral areas will most likely get the Broncos-Jets early, or SD-Oak late for the sole CBS game.
Week 7, Jets at Patriots
Thursday night game, available everywhere on both CBS and NFLN
Week 8, Chicago at Patriots (early)
Will NOT be available in Ariz, Atl, Car, Cin, Det, Jax, KC, Min, NYC, Phil, Sea, StL, TB, Ten markets
This game is on Fox, but CBS has the DH this week. Most neutral sites will probably go with Sea-Car early, or Phi-Ari if they have to do a late game.
Week 9, Denver at Patriots (late)
Will NOT be available in Oakland/SF or Seattle; will be available everywhere else.
Week 10 - Bye
Week 11, Patriots at Indy
Sunday night game, available everywhere on NBC
Week 12, Detroit at Patriots (early)
Will NOT be available in Atl, Buf, Chi, GB, Hou, Ind, Min, Phi, TB markets
Tough call as to what neutral markets will choose; will Fox want to promote an all-NFC matchup (GB-Min, TB-Chi early; AZ-Sea, late), or take advantage of one of the two times they get a chance to air a Pats game?
Week 13, Patriots at Green Bay (late)
Will NOT be available in Arizona or Atlanta markets.
Will be available everywhere else. Expect plenty of hype; unless there is an unfortunate and unforeseen injury, this will be the first-ever game with Brady and Rodgers as the two quarterbacks.
Week 14, Patriots at San Diego
Sunday night game, available everywhere on NBC
Week 15, Miami at Patriots (early)
Will NOT be available in Atl, Bal, Buf, Car, Cin, Cle, Den, Det, Hou, Ind, Jax, KC, NYC, Oak, Pit SD, Tenn markets
Early game on CBS with a Fox DH, so there won't be much distribution of this game. Might be available in Seattle, that's about it.
Week 16, Patriots at Jets (early)
Will NOT be available in Bal, Car, Chi, Cle, Hou, KC, Mia, NO, Pit, TB
It's a CBS DH, so this should get some distribution in neutral areas too, but it a lot will depend on which teams are and are not in the playoff hunt.
Week 17, Buffalo at Patriots (early)
Right now it's scheduled to be an early game, but that could change based on team's records and the playoff picture. Again, historically this game gets no distribution beyond the New England stations that always carry the Pats games, and the western New York stations that always carry the Bills games.
