A look at the NFL broadcast schematics for Week 7, courtesy of the folks from
the506.com.
The eyeball network sends its No. 1 crew of Jim Nantz and Phill Simms to Oakland for an old AFL-style showdown between the Chiefs and Raiders that, for the first time in a few years, actually matters.
The No. 2 crew of Greg Gumbel-Dan Dierdorf heads to Miami to see if the Dolphins can continue to fluster the Patriots or if 2007 is finally the year
New England gets revenge for the indignities of 1972. In the “say what?” department this week: Fans in New Mexico, the Pacific Northwest and southwestern Louisiana will be fed the game between the 6-0 Patriots and 0-6 Dolphins.
The bulk of the nation, including most of the western half of the country, the Northeast and the Ohio River Valley, will see 49ers-Giants, with a chubby Goose in the end zone talking bratwurst. The day’s big dud, Atlanta-New Orleans, gets stuck where it belongs: in the Deep South.
Fresh off his breakout game against Chicago last week, Adrian Peterson takes center stage for the first time, with the bulk of the nation being fed the Minnesota-Dallas game. Fox’s No. 1 crew of Kenny Albert and Troy Aikman call the shots (Joe Buck, the normal play-by-play man with Aikman, is still mopping up in the lesser sports with his baseball playoff duties).
Chicago-Philly and St. Louis-Seattle get only regional play in their respective markets.
