You can tell how much this game matters to the NFL now. 😒
I hope we no longer plan on wearing the throwbacks for it.

This game was always going to be played in the same time slot as the Bills game. Because of the AFCE Championship hanging in the Balance. The League wasnt going to give one team or another an advantage of knowing what occurred in the other game.

Example Bills at 4:25 Would know if they need to win to keep the Division if NE played at 1:00. So if you beat them the Bills could rest everyone. This is keeping meaningful games in all timeslots.

Not sure I understand. 1pm Sunday is the most "bleh" time slot for the final week. Furthermore all week 18 game times were simply placeholders. It was always the plan to customize the times the final week for matchups. They put us and the Bills game at 4:25 because Buffalo and NE are still fighting for the division I believe.

At the end of the day it still is one of the better games on next week.

I hate late games. I wished it stayed at 1pm.

What are the ramifications for you guys?

The late start may work out for you, though. Less of the blazing Sun so should help your stamina and conditioning.
 
I was just referring to my personal viewing time tastes, but you make a good weather point that I didn't think about. We just got our first 8"-12" snowstorm yesterday. Belichick has held practice in the bubble all week with the heat turned all the way up, though it still won't replicate Miami heat and humidity (it does get humid in NE in the summer)
Brandon Bolden talks about the weather advantage here at about the 1 minute mark
 
Of course -- the Cheats get the advantage of cooler temps!

Stop it! The N F L ain't fixed!
