Note that is why I included the word "MOST". Oh, and scripted it any better? Sure, I would say moreso in the way of lucked out. The Cowboys, altough expect to compete for 1st (with philly), wern't expected to be this good. The packers were expected to stink. The pats/gaints game was (and may still end up) expected to be even worse. A dominate pats team resting starters, against a Tikiless crapfilled gaints team. Yeah, I guess if the pats stay oncoarse for a 15-0 record, and the giants don't fall apart like they do every season, that will be a "A" game.DToTheJ said:
Thus, had these games been on network TV, they probably would've been regional games (only to be moved up), and had these teams played at what was expected, it would've a crappy regional game, which is exactly why the NFLN, and the networks allowed the NFLN to book these games. Or do you think as brnout put it, the NFL would risk millions of viewers, in hopes of winning the fight with cable, by putting an a-game on the NFLN on purpose? Nope, they schedule ALL crappy regional games, and the only reason it turns out that its only MOSTLY crappy regional games, is because the experts suck at predicting.
