NFL Broadcast Maps, Week 2

Sorry for the delay on the post, but I was busy being a productive citizen yesterday.

Week 2 is here and once again, 506 Sports details the TV coverages for Sunday.

Here’s the link:  http://506sports.com/

National Games are as follows:

TNF: Jets @ Bills.  The first short-week TNF game is today.  Both teams are looking for their first win.  This is a Color Rush game, because apparently we need those.

SNF:  Packers @ Minnesota.  Before Bridgewater went down, I would have rated this a good matchup.  Then again, the Packers weren’t exactly worldbeaters against the Jags last week.  I do not know what to expect from this one.

MNF:  Eagles @ Bears.   Two subpar to middling big market teams, it’s a perfect fit for an ESPN MNF broadcast.

On to the Sunday games, we have an 8:5 early-late spread, which is abnormal.

CBS Early

Bengals @ Steelers (Red): Early bout between the two strongest AFC North teams.  Both teams are 1-0.  Most of the country gets to see this one.

Dolphins @ Patriots (Blue):  This one is limited to the Northeast and the place were people from the Northeast retire.  As always Fuck the Greatriots.

Chiefs @ Texans (Green):  This one is featured in the breadbasket states and parts of California.  I see the presence of the Rams will have wonderous effects on the broadcasts in CA for now on.

Titans @ Lions (Yellow):  Mostly contained to their core markets, but Oregon gets to behold Marcus Mariota’s inevitable ignominious demise as a viable QB.

Ravens @ Browns (Orange…wait no, Brown….ah Orange-Brown…no ah Cuyahoga River, yes that’s the one):  You have my sympathies if you have to watch this one.  The miserable Browns versus a rebuilding Ravens.

CBS Late

Colts @ Indy (Red):  Peyton Manning?  Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning!  #Peyton Manning.  It’s Jeem and Pheel so I actually expect most of the broadcast to just be discussions of Peyton Manning.

Falcons @ Raiders (Blue):  Fairly limited to the core markets.  Raiders are a team on the rise while the Falcons just seem to exist in sustained mediocrity.

Jags @ Chargers (Green):  HAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THE CHARGERS BROADCAST IN CALIFORNIA. MORE TERRITORY IN GEORGIA WILL BROADCAST THE GAME THAN IN CALIFORNIA. HAHAHAHAHA FUCK OFF KING MARMALADE.

Fox Early & Late

Cowboys @ Redskins (Blue):  One of these teams will have a win after this game unfortunately.  Also most of the country gets to witness this debacle.

Saints @ Giants (Green):  Core markets and West Palm Beach see this one.  A declining Saints vs. a rebuilding Giants, not as enticing a match-up as it was in years past.

49ers @ Panthers (Orange/Brown):  Again, mostly core markets.  You’ll probably hear more about the national anthem for this one than the actual game itself.  I expect the Panthers to roll the 9ers.

Seahawks @ Rams (Red & Late Game):  The first regular season game in LA for decades. Can Pornstache’s magic abilities against far superior teams continue?  I give this one the FEMA Quarantine Map Game of the Week Award since of the random, spread-out distributions.

Bucs @ Cards (Yellow & Late Game):  Mostly just the primary markets here.  I do not have much to say about this match-up.

Enjoy.
