They tend to send the #1 crew to the game that will be seen by the most households.

That still shrinks quite a bit when it's the network with the single game broadcast that week. When Aikman and Buck did the Washington vs Philly game it was only shown in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states but didn't include NY, Boston or Baltimore. I think it will be the game shown in most of the West but won't be anywhere close to a national game.

Cardinals game. #1 crew will have flight problems and have to redirect to NY.

Meanwhile we'll get Craig James. Troy Aikmann and Rosanne Barrr

Let's be honest. The Cards won't be the draw. Fox only gets to air 2 Bronco games a year. I bet Peyton gets the #1 crew both times, regardless of record (Niners in Week 7).

What's the over/under on how much time the crew talks about the Cardinals? 5 minutes? :D

And 4.5 of those minutes will be dedicated to their sucky history. 30 seconds will be about all the losses this team had from last year.

I'll be at the game, so I won't have to hear Rosanne or Troy praising Manning and Broncos, while downplaying the Cardinals (like all commentators do!)

We will get the Carolina game here, but wait I have Sunday ticket. Don't really care who is calling the game, just hope we are competitive, I for some reason, am still in the same ol Cards mode (and I really don't want to be). How about a truly shock the world game!

They may not even say Cardinals. When we score it'll just be, "Denver gives up another score." Or "Denver gives up a first down." "Denver gives up a safety." "This looks like two weeks ago when Denver played Seattle."
