NFL Giveth One, Takes Away Or Fakes Away Five (Games That Is)

It appears the powers that be will allow 4 Sunday games into most, if not all markets, this 15th of 18 NFL weeks.

Checking in the New York metropolitan area such, after games involving the woeful records locals, the (2-11) Giants and (3-10) Jets with only the latter’s opponent, AFC South leading (9-4) Jacksonville (Jaguars) in contention, each main Sunday telecaster network Fox ((8-5) Lions at (10-3) Rams) and CBS ((9-3-1)Packers at (11-2) Broncos, a ’97 season Supe, redux by the way) are “piping” in, at least somewhat meaningful tilts, as remember, 14 teams out of 30 make the NFL ‘offs.

“Further more to that” (The classy Isabel Sanford’s preface, to a comment to the great Sidney Poitier’s character in “Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner”) 5 games, 3 on Christmas Day (the NFL once “promised” no games that day) and two on December 27, 2 weeks hence can only be viewed on television, that most dog wagging of entities, in exchange for currency.

Many will, I certainly will not and if you are smart, in this rare case, doing what I do is the correct choice. However, one must add it is a choice!!
