Syfy may or may not be available at you cousin's. It depends on which cable package he subscribes to from his provider. If he does have it, you have to look thru the guide available by pushing "guide" on the cable remote and scroll the channels till you find it, then put that number into the box and see if it comes up. Don't know anything about Freeview, but cable is not free here.

About All that hard work down the drain

All that hard work down the drain? (NHL)?
For Pittsburgh and New Jersey....work all season for that home ice and lose it so quickly (although Philly is at home in Newark). Is home ice really that big of an advantage in the NHL?

lol. Devils never had an home ice advantage, poor them. Pittsburgh lost a tough one, sucks for them. I think in hockey home ice should really be an advantage since the crowd can get in the head of the opposite team and help out the home team. If your a focused team than it doesn't matter where you play.
2 :
First off these are the first game of each series. If the Pens and the Devils win 4 in a row this is worthless to talk about. Hockey is about ups and downs. Home ice does make somewhat of a difference but not much.
3 :
Hockey in Newark is a joke! I got $40 tickets for row three upper level seats for game five and it was $80+ for upper level seats at the Wachovia Center so a bunch of us have decided to make the two hour trip rather than spend the valuable extra $40+! As for home ice advantage, as of late it has really meant nothing. If you look at the last two Stanley Cup games Detroit won it in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh won it in Detroit. Personally I believe it is really a case of what team wants in more? I think the East is a giant upset waiting to happen it wouldn't shock me if all of the lower seeds won out over the higher seeds. Home Ice Advantage is really just a fancy way of saying we get to sleep in our own homes tonight but that's about all.
4 :
That's how the playoffs go. In Pittsburgh's case it's 4 versus 5, so it shouldn't be that shocking. As for Jersey, I've always believed they were 1-dimensional and fragile. I'm not surprised. Philly will probably win that series. The Devils have no offense. You can only rest on your laurels so long once the other team figures you out. Home ice is an advantage but it doesn't guarantee anything.
5 :
I don't think so, at least not across the board. Maybe certain matchups will work out like that, but the NHL teams are so closely matched that HIA isn't as important as it once was.
6 :
Not anymore with today's cookie cutter arenas. Back in the days of the old arenas it was more of an advantage as the arenas were different. Now the only advantage is last change and the hometown crowd that can quickly become a disadvantage if you get down early. Maybe like the shootout (where the home team can chose to shoot first or second) the team with home ice advantage should be given the option of starting on the road and doing a 2-3-1-1 series (2 on road 3 at home, game 6 on the road and game 7 at home) Pens could be in big trouble given Ottawa's dominance at home. Fleury still looks shaky (not that many shots on goal in either game)
7 :
Presumably the 4th and 5th seeds are pretty evenly matched so that might be a good way to approach your question. In the last 10 seasons the 4th seed has won 13 out of 20 first-round matchups (+15%). One game is about 15% of a seven game series so maybe it means what it's meant to mean eh?
8 :
I think that really depends on the team and their situation. I mean... say Calgary made the playoffs, they had one of the best road records, yet one of the worst home ones. So if they did make the playoffs this year... perhaps you can say the road is really their best friend. I think the same goes for alot of teams. Obviously a hostile building can potentially drain your energy and swing momentum to the home club... but at the professional level I think these guys have become pretty good at countering that. It's funny you mention this because I was also thinking about the 'advantages' of home ice today. I think that unless the team in question has a history of winning at home and a clear distinction between home vs away records... I reallly don't think it makes a world of difference.
9 :
I think it only matters when you get deeper into the playoffs. But it's not like it ever means the whole world in playoff games period though, like it could in a basketball game. It means something--just not everything, later on.
10 :
I'd be a lot more worried about San Jose...I mean, their collective sphincter wouldn't pass air at this point and they might be able to turn a turd into a diamond. Holy jeebus. I mean, how much of a "must win" is game 2 now? NJD seems the bigger worry (over PIT) because of the "we've seen this before"...they overwork Brodeur and he's 7 years older than he was in 2003 when NJD last won the Cup (and haven't gotten out of the first round for a few years). PIT-OTT...too soon to tell.
11 :
(didn't read any answers) I really think that it is. especially in the third and final "rounds". it's not the crowd, but more: - choosing your matchups (lines, faceoffs) (big gap) - sleeping in "your own" bed - facilities intangibles i still think that you have to be able to win on the road though, to advance. otherwise, don't be surprised when you're golfing early.

About How does AFC NFC broadcasting rights work

How does AFC NFC broadcasting rights work??
I live in Pennslyvania, and the local CBS channel always broadcasts Steelers(AFC) games on sunday afternoon. But sometimes when they play an NFC team they don't get the rights to broadcast. Is it when the steelers(AFC) play away at NFC or is it when an NFC team comes to Pittsburgh to play. I forget how it works. Can someone help clear this up for me because it appears that the 49ers at Steelers game is not being broadcasted by our CBS affiliate . Instead its the Jets-Dolphins game. Thanks in advance

Fox gets the rights if the NFC is the away team. And CBS gets the rights if the AFC is the away team. *This doesn't apply to Sunday or Monday Night, or Thursday Night Games, or the Super Bowl.
2 :
When the Steelers play a AFC team the game is on CBS. When the Steelers play a NFC team at the other teams field the game is on CBS. When the Steelers play a NFC team at home the game is on FOX.
3 :
If the road team is an AFC team, CBS has the rights and if the road team is a NFC team, Fox has the rights. This doesn't count Sunday night or Monday night games.
4 :
I live in ny so I see it all the time.The visiting team in an interconference game is televised on its home network.ie:giants at an afc team appear on fox which is the nfc network.So in your case the 49ers are away at an afc team so the game will not be televised on an afc affiliate it will only appear on a fox network.

San Francisco -5 vs. St. Louis 41 You may look at that and be intimidated and feel helpless, but I’m going to decode this little bugger for you. This is the betting line…not the odds. The odds are what you are going to be paid (covered later). When ever you see a team with a (-) number next to them (-5 in this case) that means that team is favored to win by that margin…5 points. The number after the matchup (41) is the projected total points to be scored by both teams added together. So there are two options here. A player can choose to bet on the matchup either San Fran -5 points, or St. Louis +5 points. For the player who wagers on San Francisco -5, San Fran must win by more than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on St. Louis +5, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a “Push”, and your original stake is refunded. See, that wasn’t too difficult was it? Sometimes you will see the points displayed as half numbers like San Fran -5.5 If you bet on San Fran and they win by 6..you win. If they win by 5 or less…you lose. Clear?

If you bet Steelers -3, then the Steelers MUST win by MORE than 3 points for you to win your bet. If the Steelers win by exactly 3, then you get a push. (You don't win or lose.) If the Steelers win by only 1 point or by 2 points, OR if the Steelers lose or tie the game, then you LOSE. Similarly with Giants +3. Now, however, if the Giants LOSE the game by exactly 3 points, you get a push. If the Giants win the game, you win. OR the Giants could LOSE the game by 1 point, or LOSE the game by 2 points and you would still WIN your bet. The only way you can lose that Giants +3 bet is if the Giants lose by 4 points or more.
3 :
Very easy to answer. Don't remember any of these rules. Listen. If the Cowboys are -3, then its simple. Take the final score of the game (For example) Cowboys: 24 Steelers: 22 And with the final score, you simply do what the point spread says to do. Since the Steelers say -3, then you subtract 3. Simple. The new score is now: Cowboys: 21 Steelers: 22 The Steelers won the game in the eyes of the bet you made, and you would lose your bet. If the adjusted score would of made it a tie ball game, then you would simply get your bet back, and it would be like no bet was ever made. And of course, if the Steelers still had a higher score after you adjusted it, you would win your bet and make money.
