Atlanta game

WIP is reporting that there is a 90% chance the game on New Years Eve will be moved to 4:15.  Eskin said his sources indicated that Fox has the 1st choice on the game, and there is no reason they wouldn't choose this game as their 4:15 prime time game.  I think this is the only game that guarantees a playoff scenario that weekend, no matter what happens this week.

 

If Fox doesn't choose the game, we will probably be the Sunday night game, which would blow.  I also heard Jody Mac say something similar. 

 

And yet, I thought a team could have only 1 game moved from the afternoon to sunday night - and the eagles already had moved once - the indy game.

 

A 4pm game or an 8pm game on New Year’s Eve. Great.

 

This could backfire on Fox or NBC if the Eagles win and the Falcons lose this weekend and the Eagles can’t improve their playoff seedings – why play the starters?
