Seems like they would target the Philly-NYG game that week if they wanted to maximize ratings (given two very big media markets). Even with the Eagles struggling. I don't remember how many games Fox and CBS can protect, but I assume Fox would guard Dallas-Pittsburgh with their life. I'm going to hope PFT is wrong on this one.
Edit: Looking at the rules it looks like Fox can only protect one game per week. So they will obviously protect Dallas-Pittsburgh in Week 14. That leaves Philly-NYG and Washington-Baltimore as the most attractive games that week. Still holding out hope on the former until they announce it tomorrow.
I would think the story line of 2 rookie head coaches both trying for a playoff would win out over Eagles Giants. That one right now figures to be "non-competitive" and even after we blow out the Giants next week :cool-smil we would be the more attractive game the following week.
having said that, I agree with GTripps initial sarcasm.
