(PHOTO: Erich Schlegel - USA TODAY Sports) The highlight of NFL week 6 will be the Sunday night game when the New England Patriots visit the Indianapolis Colts in a rematch of last season’s AFC championship game. Patriot fans are looking forward to some possible vindication for the sting and botched frame job that led to a litany of lies and the oblivious ignoring of basic science by the NFL in the fiasco of a witch hunt that became known as deflategate in that game. In anticipation of a scorched earth response, the betting line has already moved 2½-points (from 5 to 7½) in the last 48 hours.
Here is a preliminary look at what games are currently scheduled to be broadcast where for NFL week six. As always, keep in mind that local networks have the option to ask for changes to the games they air, and those requests are generally granted by network headquarters. CBS has the doubleheader so most markets will get two of their games; all markets will get one game on FOX. New York City, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Seattle will only get one CBS game due to NFL television broadcast rules.
