How many Prime Time games is TB12 worth. figure if they had not picked him up they would have had 1 or at most 2
yeah, 3-5 is easyIn a division with the Saints and plays the Chiefs, Packers, Vikings, and Rams.
Yeah. Pretty good bet for 3-5 primetime games I'd imagine with Brady. Lot of Brady fans out there.
I doubt the times are set yet. I believe that generally comes after the draft. The networks are involved in these decisions to be sure. I put the over/under at 5. I cannot think of a more compelling national story this year than TB12 changing teams.I'd say 4. The schedule has probably been set so Besides the 1 TNF/MNF/SNF, they'll probably get a game flexed towards the end of the season if they're in the running.

If Tampa Bay gets more than 2 Prime Time games, the networks will be kicking themselves in the ass when TB is exposed.
Just sayin

I'm thinking two SNF one TNF two MNF
I do not think TB deserves more NBC attention than NO just because they got Brady. I have been thinking that after back to back 13-3 seasons, NO should be in the running for three NBC appearances like Dallas gets but they lost the first game. But there's a lot of mouths to feed. That's why I said Denver won't get anything on NBC.
There are 18 games total on NBC. That includes the season-opening kickoff and Thanksgiving Night.
Times 18 by 2 to get 36(2 teams in each game)
The 3-Game Club
Dallas
Green Bay
San Francisco
Kansas City
possible: New Orleans
The 2 games
Philadelphia (after 9-7 and limping in, they don't deserve three)
New England (no Brady now and a one and done exit)
Minnesota
Chicago (they went 8-8, big market team)
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Tampa Bay (because of Brady, none without him)
Seattle (probably SF and LAR)
Los Angeles Rams (probably SF and Seattle)
possible: New Orleans
That's now 32 games at least. However, Philadelphia may not have enough for a second unless they play SF or Pittsburgh on NBC. They're not likely to play GB because GB will have Minnesota, Chicago, and one of NO or TB. Seattle and LA are likely to only have division games.
1 game fight
New York Giants (they were shut out last year, but look at Dallas's options)
Buffalo
Houston
Tennessee
Las Vegas
1 or 2 of these teams will be left out. If Tennessee did not upset Baltimore, they would probably not be NBC-worthy. Buffalo had an impressive season, but they went out to Houston in round 1. And Giants didn't do any better last year record-wise.
Last year, Atlanta got two NBC games and they only should have got one. I think Eagles playing them forced that issue, and someone ended up losing an extra NBC spot. I don't think it was the Giants because Dallas's games were likely set earlier. I'm thinking it was the Steelers, Colts, or Packers.
@Rock Strongo would.Maybe a lot of folks would enjoy watching TB get exposed.
5, they will get the max.
SNF: Packers, Chiefs & @Saints
MNF: @Falcons
TNF: Saints
