Pats game in Miami Flexed to 4:25

[DaBruinz]

The Pats game got Flexed..

 

[jmt57]

Slightly surprised that all of the AFC East games are in the late afternoon slot, but with no AFC West games on Sunday at all, one of the other divisions had to go to that time for CBS. None of the AFC North or AFC South games are particularly compelling. I'm sure the networks wish Miami had defeated Tennessee, to make the Pats-Dolphins game more dramatic.

why? just why?

Pretty sure the decision was made just to tick me off...

 

[DarrylS]

Well that decision sucks.. why not just keep @ 1:00 PM?? Maybe to showcase Jones??

Not upset with this. The heat in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday is supposed to get up to 82. By moving to 4:25, it takes away a competitive advantage from Miami since it might be 5-10 degrees cooler and less sun than at 1 PM.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The 4:30 KO will remove Miami's weather advantage, as it won't be too hot. Although it will bring into play the daily 4 pm thunderstorms.

I anticipated that the Pats and Bills games would be played at the same time, so getting flexed to Saturday wasn't really in play.

Awful slate of games, only the Chargers- Raiders game has a "win and your in", everything else, is just for seeding.

This time of year, not a regular occurrence

Not great for those of us in Europe, but we'll live with it.

Traffic will be a nightmare in Miami with the all the old people driving to dinner @ 330.

It’s about a 3-4 degree difference and the high is only supposed to be 79 so I’m not sure it’s that much of a factor.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

So much misinformation about FL winter weather. T storms at 3PM are a summer thing. Bigger factor will be no direct sunlight heating 2nd half. That helps Pats.
Wicked pissed that they also moved the Bucs game to 4 likely killing the slim chance of seeing the Pats here south of Tampa.

Actually the Pats game flexed to 430 helps NE.

Chargers vs Raiders will be at 430 too. The Pats will have the playoff seeding more or less cast in stone prior to playing with the exception of KC and LAC or LV. Losing @ Miami might be beneficial.

Bold wins
Tennessee @ Houston is at 1200
NYJ @ Buffalo is at 1200
Cincinnati @ Cleveland is at 1200 - could go either way but the Browns will be coming off MNF.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville is at 1200

Not so:

Bills-Jets game time moved for regular season finale in Week 18

The Patriots' regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins also has been moved to 4:25 so both games with AFC East title implications will happen simultaneously.

Love this. The late afternoon games are my favorite time slot, it gives me the chance to get things done on Sunday before settling in to watch the game.

Chargers and Raiders is Sunday night.

Also we can watch browns bengals at 1 (and hopefully the browns can drop the bengals to the 4. Would like to go play at cinci).
