NFL Network: Few able to see possible win for Patriots to go 16-0

Now, who knows if this will happen. Certainly could, with how dominating the Pats look. The Colts have a great shot at stopping it.

Regardless, that's a debate for another thread. Lets say the Patriots are 15-0 entering their final game...this from Peter King....(bottom of page 7)

Peter King: True experts weigh in on Pats-Colts; wrapping up Week 8

The Dallas-Green Bay game will be significant for playoff implications, and it will be a political football as well -- neither of the state capitals, Austin or Madison, is serviced by a cable company that gets the NFL Network. The game won't be shown in either place unless viewers go to a sports bar or have satellite TV. As for the Pats-Giants game, if New England enters the game 15-0, how will the 70 percent of the 65 million cable homes in America feel when they can't get a peek at such a historic game?

That's absolutely crazy...both of those. The worse obviously being the Pats game, should they be 15-0.

I would be surprised if you can't see the Patriots at 15-0 on regular television across most of the nation this week. Especially when they show the entirety of Pats-Redskins here on FOX in Ames this week.

Whose fault is this? The cable company? The NFL Gods? The networks? The Miami Oldtimers? Who knows. Like the Heidi Game for the whole game.

Read the post, that game is on the NFL Network. Meaning, unless you have satellite, your local cable company has that station (most do not) or you go to the bar (they'll making some big bucks for that game) you won't be ale to see the game.
