NFL Week #7: CBS has the doubleheader and owns both time slots; Fox has a decent menu too

Names are no more than names. Just wait until NFL Sunday.

During this week #7 and again in week #13, there will be six teams in byes. This week, they are Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, NY Jets and Tennessee.

*****

Number of Games:

Rarity: Both Fox and CBS will run games in both the early and late afternoon time game slots. This Sunday, CBS assigns regional games to fill both the 1 and 4pm slot. The Chargers-KC telecast will televise all across America on CBS affiliates with the exception of the Green Bay-Denver game markets.

*****

CBS –  5 games (3 early at 1p and 2 late, both at 4:25)

Fox – 5 games (slot sanctioned – as listed)

Amazon Prime – 1 game (Thursday night

NBC – 1 (Sunday Night)

ESPN – 1 (Monday Night)

Total of 13 games this weekend- Reduced by 3 matchups because of 6 byes.

Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, NY Jets and  Tennessee – get byes.

The biggest afternoon CBS Broadcast is 88%, KC vs. LA Chargers and on Fox for Detroit- Baltimore is 35% – There are no 100% games covered during the first two slots, in both the 1 or 4p slot. Quite unusual.
